Cloud Night Market
Place stall keepers on a night market floating above the clouds. When side-by-side stalls hold exactly the dishes a customer wants, the combo sells on the spot โ save a gap for big combos, sell one keeper to two tables, and keep your three lanterns lit until the moon reaches the end of the street.

How to play
ObjectiveKeep at least one of your three lanterns lit until the moon reaches the end of the street, selling as many combos as you can on the way โ that clears the night, and a higher score earns โ โ and โ โ โ .
Getting started
- Tap Play. On Night 1 a single customer wants Star Skewer and Moon Tea, and a hand points at the stall to tap.
- Check the line in the middle: the big card is the keeper you place now, the two small cards are the next two.
- Tap an empty stall to set up the front keeper, then put the keeper with the other dish right beside them โ the combo sells and both stalls empty out.
- Keep reading the customers' bubbles. Serve whoever's patience ring is shortest first, because a customer who leaves without a meal puts out one of your three lanterns.
- When three-dish orders appear, set up the two outer dishes with one empty stall between them and fill that stall last.
- Skip keepers nobody needs by not placing them: with three keepers waiting, the front one leaves on the next beat at no cost.
- The night ends once every keeper has arrived and the line is empty, or early if all three lanterns go out. Read your score and the reason on the result screen, then tap Play again, or Next night after clearing a night.
Tips
- Never build a three-dish combo from one end. Leave a gap between the two outer dishes and drop the middle keeper in last, so no pair can sell off early and the whole combo pays 60 instead of 20.
- Only save a gap for a dish you can already see on the two small preview cards; those keepers are fixed, while a dish that isn't in line yet may arrive after the customer has left.
- A dish that two customers both want is the best one to wait for: wanted dishes join the line more often, and either customer can use the gap when it arrives.
- Skip building next to a stall whose little shift lantern is blinking on its last segment โ that keeper packs up soon and your gap loses its neighbor.
- From Night 5, look for two orders that share one dish. Put the rest of each order on opposite sides of an empty stall and place the shared dish there: both tables pay double.
- A stall with keepers on both sides can finish combos in two directions, while an end stall has only one neighbor โ keep an open spot near the middle of the street.
FAQ
How do I start playing Cloud Night Market?
Tap Play on the title screen and Night 1 begins right away with a guided first sale: a hand shows which stall to tap, and the first customer keeps waiting until you've served them. Each night you clear opens the next.
Do I need to download Cloud Night Market or make an account?
No. The game is free and runs in your browser with nothing to install, no account and no purchases. Once it has loaded it keeps working without a connection.
Can I play Cloud Night Market on my phone?
Yes โ it's made for phones held upright, with the six stalls in the lower half of the screen within thumb reach. Phone landscape works too, and on a computer the same phone-shaped screen plays with a mouse or the keyboard.
Why didn't my combo sell?
The dishes must sit in neighboring stalls with no empty stall between them and match a waiting customer's order exactly, with nothing missing and nothing extra. After a placement, the sale must include the keeper you just placed. A new customer can also buy a matching combo already on the street as soon as they arrive.
Why did a pair sell when I was building a three-dish combo?
Combos sell the instant they're complete, so two of your dishes standing together filled another customer's two-dish order first. Set up the outer two dishes with a gap between them and place the middle one last.
How do I make a double sale?
From Night 5, place a keeper in the gap between two stalls so the left side completes one customer's combo and the right side completes another's. Both tables pay double, and a gold customer in a double sale pays four times.
How do I get a higher score?
Three-dish combos are worth 60 against 20 for a pair, double sales and gold customers double a table's points, and every lantern still lit at the end adds 50. Fill middle stalls last and protect your lanterns.
I keep losing the same night โ what can I do?
Turn on Breeze in the pause menu: customers wait 50% longer and stars still count. In regular nights, the result screen also tells you why the market closed early; after three consecutive early closes on the same night for the same reason, it shows a tip for that reason.
Does a keeper leaving cost me anything?
No. A keeper who leaves a full line or finishes their shift costs no lantern and no points โ only customers who leave without a meal put out a lantern.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, your cleared nights, stars, daily tasks and stall looks are saved in this browser on this device. They don't carry over to another browser or device, and clearing the site's data starts you fresh.

Ink Lap
Draw your racing line, then watch your car drive it. Round curves are fast, sharp kinks are slow. Beat the bronze, silver and gold ghosts, then challenge a friend with a code.
Bubble Cannon
Slide the bubble cannon along its rail and fire straight up. Match three colors to pop them, cut the one bubble holding a whole bunch to drop it, and play close to the bottom line for up to triple points โ if you dare.
Star Duel
Stars appear between you and the person next to you, and each one is on a timer. Hold a pad on your side and the star in that column starts sliding your way. Hold too long and it burns in your hands. Most points in sixty seconds wins the round.
Turnkeep
One button turns the whole room. Gravity does the rest โ read the line, pick a side, and fall through every monster before your heat runs out.
Sneak Route
Hold the thief, drag a straight run of up to five tiles, and let go โ the line locks the moment you release it, and there is no eraser. Every segment is a path, a timetable and a wall all at once, so the order you draw the gems in decides whether the exit is still reachable four moves later. Sweep past a searchlight one tile early and you are seen; carry one gem too many and the alarm burns out before the door.
Planet Gardener
Three species share one tiny planet, and each one feeds the neighbour clockwise from it. Drop seeds where they will be fed, close a circle of three, and the patch starts feeding itself. You pick the spot, never the seed.
