Cloud Master is a classic side-scrolling shoot ’em up for the Sega Master System, loosely based on the Chinese epic Journey to the West. You play as the Monkey King, Sun Wukong (localized as “Mike Chen” in Western releases), riding a flying cloud through colorful stages. As you fly, you’ll battle an array of strange mythical enemies, gather power-ups to enhance your main shot, and collect powerful secondary weapons to help you survive the relentless bullet-hell action.
How to Play
Your goal is to reach the end of each stage and defeat the boss while avoiding enemy projectiles and terrain. In your browser, use the Arrow Keys to maneuver your cloud. Press Z to fire your main weapon and X to drop bombs on ground targets. Press Enter to start the game.
Tips
- Focus on collecting the floating power-up orbs; upgrading your main shot is crucial for dealing with the large waves of enemies in later stages.
- Don’t forget to use your bombs frequently, as they are essential for taking out ground-based turrets and enemies that your main shot can’t reach.
- Pay close attention to enemy movement patterns, as many of them swoop in quickly from off-screen or from behind.
