Description: Wind Wind is a puzzle adventure game. Lead the souls to the top floor of the tower, avoiding robots and the black star.

Review: I think it best to start with the good news. The good news is this is a pleasant puzzle platform game in which you have to use the power of the wind to push two characters to their end goal. Of course, things are not that simple at all and you will have to use strategy, timing and cooperative work between the two little ball characters. I love the colouring book style to the graphics and while they lack animation the characters are enjoyable to look at. You can indeed find yourself getting into this game, but that is sadly where the bad news starts…

This game only has X levels and when the game costs £15.49 you would want triple that number of levels if not more. I like this style of game and anyone who enjoyed playing Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker will enjoy it, but definitely wait for a sale otherwise you will be left feeling very short-changed. While I do still recommend this game its broken English translation and fiddly controls will put some off it, but stick with it and you will find a challenge here.
