Gameplay

Players assume the role of a scientist who has grown weary of the world and therefore decides to create his own isolated Utopia.[2] The game's 'Utopia Mode' combines elements of Katamari Damacy and Sim City; after buildings have been claimed by the player's tornado they are placed in the target location, optimal placement increases the Utopia's inhabitants' happiness.[3] Players do not have direct control over the tornado's path; it sweeps across the landscape in a clockwise arc, players can alter the direction of movement by reversing to counter-clockwise movement.[4]

Reception

Tornado Mania! received a positive response from game critics, including being awarded a perfect 10/10[4] and IGN's game of the month award for December 2006.[5]
