In the late 19th century, gold and silver were discovered in the Inland Northwest. The same year it was officially incorporated as a city under the name of Spokane Falls (it was re-incorporated under its current name ten years later). Completion of the Northern Pacific Railway in 1881 brought settlers to the Spokane area. This trading post was the first long-term European settlement in Washington. David Thompson explored the area with the westward expansion and establishment of the North West Company's Spokane House in 1810. The first people to live in the area, the Spokane tribe (their name meaning "children of the sun" in Salishan), lived off plentiful game. A 2021 estimate sets the population of the Spokane Metropolitan Area at 593,466. At the 2020 census, Spokane's population was 228,989.
According to the 2010 census, Spokane had a population of 208,916, making it the second-largest city in Washington, and the 101st-largest city in the United States. The city and the wider Inland Northwest area are served by Spokane International Airport, 5 miles (8 km) west of Downtown Spokane. Officially, Spokane goes by the nickname of Hooptown USA, due to Spokane annually hosting Spokane Hoopfest, the world's largest basketball tournament. It is known as the birthplace of Father's Day, and locally by the nickname of "Lilac City". Spokane is the economic and cultural center of the Spokane metropolitan area, the Spokane–Coeur d'Alene combined statistical area, and the Inland Northwest. It is in eastern Washington, along the Spokane River, adjacent to the Selkirk Mountains, and west of the Rocky Mountain foothills, 92 miles (148 km) south of the Canadian border, 18 miles (30 km) west of the Washington– Idaho border, and 279 miles (449 km) east of Seattle, along I-90. Spokane ( / s p oʊ ˈ k æ n/ ( listen) spoh- KAN) is the largest city and county seat of Spokane County, Washington, United States. The game has a very cute kind of art style and the way the cloud is so expressive really does make this a game that is nice to look at. The game just oozes personality and I love how varied the levels are ranging from a basic street, a farm, a supermarket, and even a place that looks like a level from Metal Gear Solid. I love the whole look of Rain on Your Parade. Little touches such as this really do a great job in making the game have that extra bit of personality that keeps you smiling, invested, and even laughing at what is going down. Or, you can take things a step further by doing stuff like giving him a mustache, a hat, or even a little frog that sits on his head. You can do something basic like just changing his face. You can actually customize your little cloud which is a lot of fun. It gives you new abilities at what feels like the perfect pace to keep things fun and interesting for the player. You can make it rain and snow, but eventually, you will be able to drop acid rain, cause tornadoes and even make meteorites fall from the sky. I think it is really cool the way that Rain on Your Parade gives you new abilities as you progress. Each level will give you a checklist of the things that you are required to do in order to complete the level and it is up to you how you go about this. This is just a small example of what is going on here. It is a busy street, you make it rain so that a guy slips on the snow, gets hit by a car, the car then plows into a bus stop causing pure chaos. One level may have you trying to trash the crops of a farmer and another may have you needing to be the reason the dinosaurs become extinct!
There are over 40 levels in the game and each one has its own theme. In the game, you control the little rain cloud and you need to move him around each level.
