An aim trainer that plays like an arcade shooting gallery
Cloudshot is a free aim trainer that runs in your browser, built like an old arcade shooting gallery. Demons drift through a night sky full of clouds, and you strike them with a bolt of light before they slip away.
A round lasts thirty seconds. At the end you get your score, your accuracy and your average time per demon, so you can see whether your aim is getting faster or just wilder. There is nothing to install and no account to make.
How to play Cloudshot
- Click the sky, tap it or press Enter to start. The clock starts at 30 seconds.
- Demons appear one at a time at first, then up to three at once. Some cross the sky, some swoop in arcs, some bounce around in a zigzag and some peek out of the clouds for a moment and sink back.
- Click or tap a demon to strike it. As the round goes on, the demons get smaller and faster.
- Every so often an angel flies across. Leave it alone: striking an angel costs 150 points and 2 seconds.
- A rare golden demon is small and quick, and worth much more.
- When the clock reaches zero you see your results. Press Enter or tap to play again.
Controls
- Mouse: aim with the crosshair and click to strike. The shot lands exactly where you click.
- Touch: tap a demon. A finger covers more of the screen than a mouse pointer, so a tap counts if it lands just outside the demon too.
- Enter or Space starts a round and plays again, P pauses and Esc goes back to the game list.
Scoring and rules
A demon at full size is worth 100 points, and smaller demons are worth more, up to about 160. The golden demon is worth 500.
Hits in a row raise a multiplier by 0.1 each, up to double points. A shot that hits nothing resets it, and so does striking an angel.
Accuracy is the share of your shots that hit a demon. Average time is how long each demon was on screen before you struck it, so a lower number is better. Your best score is kept in your browser.
Tips to score higher
- Do not spray clicks. A miss costs nothing on the clock, but it breaks your multiplier, and a long chain is where the big scores come from.
- Watch the clouds at the bottom. Demons that peek out stay only a moment, so be ready before they appear.
- Lead the moving ones a little. A demon crossing the sky keeps moving while your hand does.
- Check before you strike something fast near the edge. Angels fly across the same way demons do.
- Play a few rounds in a row with the same mouse or device. Your accuracy and time only mean something compared with your own earlier rounds.
Questions
- Is Cloudshot a real aim trainer?
- It measures what aim trainers measure, accuracy and time to hit a target, but it is built as an arcade game, not as a training tool for a particular shooter. It is a good warm-up and a fair way to compare your own rounds.
- Does my mouse sensitivity matter?
- Yes. Cloudshot uses your normal mouse settings, so keep them the same between rounds if you want to compare results.
- Can I play Cloudshot on my phone?
- Yes. Tap the demons with your finger. A tap has a little extra room around each demon, because a finger is less precise than a mouse pointer.
- Is my score sent anywhere?
- Your best score stays in your browser. If you accept analytics cookies, the final score of each round is also counted in Google Analytics, without anything that identifies you.
