This looks promising: Storm PC/PSN/XBLA

Use angry weather to solve puzzles.

Aqua Panic dev Eko has revealed a pretty new game called Storm.

It's a puzzler based upon controlling aspects of a storm - tornado, lightning, rain, etc. - to guide a seed to fertile ground. It's gentle, calm and attractive.

A bolt of lightning can carve off giant lumps of a frozen hill, for example, or set dry brush alight. Rain can suck the seed upwards and a tornado flings things around.

Storm's aiming for a $10 (800 MSP) summer PC, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade release.

Gusty stuff.
