service which is something similar to

the likes of Amazon Luna Google

stadia and GeForce now or Xbox

Cloud so first off what is cloud Moon

Cloud moon like I said is a cloud

streaming service so what does this mean

exactly well it's just like any other

Cloud streaming service you can play

Modern games you know like Roblox Clash

of Clans genin impact honai star rail

punishing great Raven you know Candy

Crush Asphalt 9 you know something like

that but all in a small package you know

how if you play I don't know Roblox it

might take up one whole

gigabyte of storage on your phone or a

tablet well Cloud Moon solved that for

you so say like you have a tablet like

mine right here where it's crap it only

has like 16 GB of storage 1 gab RAM and

it's on Android you know 6.0 or

something like that well with Cloud Moon

you can effectively play the same

game on this budget

tablet all

right and something really really wild

to me is you can play something as

graphically intense of like Hong Kai

star rail or genjin impact with just 15

megabytes of

storage all right there's a ton of games

on

cloudman so let me show

you uh if it'll open right

here all right some of the games I've

played are up here you know hanai star

POV launcher for Minecraft Java and

Roblox is up here but uh these games up

here are new I didn't see these earlier

when I was playing but um yeah there's

other games you know fortnite is a big

one you know blue

archive Among Us and like I said Clash

of Clans Pokemon units stuff like that

you can play a lot of popular games and

and their game library is just expanding

by the day so you see how there's this

many games well I don't know tomorrow

there might be 30 more games on here it

just depends if people want a game you

just need to you know press this button

add put the game name you know say what

game you want and they add it just for

you you you know

it's you know Cloud moon it's very

affordable it it's the cheapest Cloud

streaming service I've ever used and

that's a fact you know with Amazon Luna

or you know GeForce now that was

expensive that's like $10 USD plus okay

for cloud Moon you can get it for as low

as you know $2 in 99 months for your

first month right here it shows $3.99

and that's just cuz I've already signed

up you know there's a Premium plan for

$5.99 and if you don't sign up for the

standard plan and you just want to try

it out there's

a19 uh 7-Day like trial it's not a free

trial but it it's a trial you get

unlimited game time you get to queue in

between 1 to 5 minutes just like the

standard plan you just get all the

benefits of the standard plan you know

just no high quality streaming

okay so you know you you've been hearing

me go on and on about Cloud Moon Let's

test it out all

right so we're going to run a game like

Roblox here all right all right it's

going to connect to the you know Cloud

to where the phone or tablet is

hosting and you can see right here I'm

in

Roblox okay it just restarted this

usually doesn't happen I think it's just

cuz I logged into my account and I

haven't really played any games but um

let's test this out

with a game like

jailbreak jailbreak new

robbery

play all

right you guys get to experience this

with me you

know it it's not okay

no all right

prisoner all right I don't know if you

guys can see this but this is

basically seamless there there's almost

no input

delay there is a little bit because of

my connection and you know the Wi-Fi

speeds on this tablet that's basically

the only things being affected right now

if I had say Wi-Fi 6 or something like

that or a better tablet this would be a

lot better it it all depends on your

connection and you know if your

connection is crap it it's obviously

going to be crap but

um you can see right here if I go into

settings Graphics it's on automatic

let's turn that all the way to the max

all

right obviously you won't see the

Improvement even though it's on Max

because you're not paying for HD stream

streaming if you did you would see it

but um right now this is on standard

definition and you know it plays

fine you know I haven't played Jailbreak

in a while but you

know I do not know what is going

on this is

interesting but I mean it's running

smoothly if I was to run unless on my

tablet

natively Roblox would have crashed

almost instantly already there there's

no way this you know Roblox would have

lasted this

long you

know I'll just show you guys how smooth

this game is

running

hold me close till I get

up

on all right and another game we'll be

testing because I have played this game

before and you know I have an account

honai star Ro all right it's one of the

most popular games you know it just won

an award you

know there's a lot of people online

right now but as you can see there is a

queue of 1 minute right now I'm position

I'm Number Nine in the queue and I will

just skip to when we can

play all right I have been logged into

the game and let's

start if you guys didn't know that's my

player ID down here and you know the FPS

and other data down

there this tablet I can tell you guys

that this tablet right here it would not

be able to run genin impact or honai

Star this is a very cheap tablet from

Walmart so if you guys think I'm lying

go to Walmart and buy one

yourself you're you're not going to be

able to play

now this is interesting I don't know why

I'm seeing like 1,000 ping

but you know just I don't know 30 40 50

minutes ago before I started recording I

was playing this and I was getting you

know 100 ping I think I might be

connected to the Asian servers right now

for cloud Moon instead of the servers in

America but hey that's fine as long as

it runs I'm I'm fine you

know

um let me zoom in and see if this can

focus

but you can see how this is not very you

know high definition because I am on the

standard plan but yeah

I'll give you guys

some you know gam play with me shutting

up

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

give me

[Music]

[Applause]

something give me

[Music]

something

[Music]

[Music]

time

[Music]

[Music]

give me

something

[Applause]

[Music]

give me

[Music]

something oh what

[Music]

time

[Music]

he

[Applause]

[Music]

all right now before I end off this

video some things that I did forget to

me mention is is

that there are servers that they have

just added to the US so the game play in

honai Star rail that I just showed you

that could be because the server in the

US has just been cluttered and so they

sent me to the you know servers in Asia

and so that's why my ping was abysmal or

you know

just us servers are down right now I'm

in Asia but

um yeah some other things that need to

be mentioned are that there as again as

I've said there are servers in Asia and

America and I spoke with the cloud Moon

team they're trying to get servers in

Europe that will be coming soon all

right that's not going to be overnight

thing they have to you know work with

Partners to get that but um

Cloud moon is also only on Android

currently so if you are a iPad kid and

you want to use this Cloud streaming

service on iOS on your iPhone you know

stuff like that you're going to have to

wait because Apple doesn't allow them to

create you know Cloud streaming apps so

they're going to have to make a whole

new web app you know vpa or whatever

it's called for like Chrome OS stuff

like that for cloud moon to

work all right and you know Cloud

moon has been basically a lifesaver for

me because you know I don't have good

you know Tech you know I just can't

afford it and I mean I know plenty of

other people in my boat that just want

to play games you know without spending

a lot of money you know like I'm going

to be editing this video on my very own

freaking tablet you know this piece of

junk so I mean yeah I just have to live

with it you know I can't you know spend

more money if I don't have money

so anyways that's all for this video see

you guys in the next

one
