City Rain is the XNA game representing Brazil at the Imagine Cup France 2008 world finals, in Paris. City Rain have already won the second place in the 2nd XNA Challenge Brazil, of which I was one of the judges.
At that time, what impressed me the most was the fact that the game presents a creative mix between two different styles: (city) pieces fall down as in Tetris, while they should be properly put together as in Sim City. The graphics are cute and remind me of nice "pixel art" work.
I believe that the environment-specific features of the game (such as properly disposing city garbage) makes it unique, especially for this year’s Imagine Cup theme. On the other hand, I personally dislike some of the Sim City "generic" elements which were added to the game, such as violence or disasters like earthquakes (IMHO I believe they could be changed by more environment-specific stuff which would be better aligned to the main theme). But the balance in general is very positive.
It seems the game is available for download in its website. If you are only curious about how it looks like, check the video below:
