74/100

Hurricane.io takes the popular .io formula and adds a unique meteorological twist. Instead of a snake or a cell, you control a burgeoning hurricane. It’s a clever concept—you must navigate over warm water and absorb clouds to gain strength, while avoiding landmasses that cause you to dissipate. The scale of the game is impressive, as you can grow from a minor tropical depression to a planet-swallowing superstorm that wreaks havoc on everything in its path.

The multiplayer element adds a layer of strategy, as you must compete with other players for the 'warmest' patches of ocean. Engaging in 'storm combat' by absorbing smaller hurricanes is satisfying, though you have to be careful not to get picked off by a larger player. The game is easy to pick up but has enough nuance in its movement and growth mechanics to keep you playing for 'just one more round.' It’s a fresh take on the genre with a very satisfying sense of power progression.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. I’ve never quite understood the obsession with these '.io' games, but Hurricane.io at least tries something different with the weather theme. Using real-world JTWC data is a nice touch for a nerd like me. However, the gameplay is the same old 'big fish eats small fish' routine. The controls can be floaty—pardon the pun—and the screen quickly becomes a cluster of icons and names that ruins any sense of immersion. It’s better than most clones, but it’s still just a chaotic distraction without any real staying power.
