With The Wind's prettiness has overrided my need to make bum gas jokes out of its title (whoops).

It actually has the brightly coloured 3D look of, say, Oceanhorn. It's close-ish, I'd say.

Beyond its looks, With The Wind is a puzzle game about collecting bags of wind for your dad. Your dad, it so happens, is Aeolus, Ruler of Winds - which is what I also call my dad after he's eaten dinner.

As his Aeolus's daughter, you also have the power of wind at your hand. It manifests as the wind blowing in the direction that you move.

The game itself is played on grid-based levels. You need to use your wind power to manipulate the environment to reach each bag of wind.

With The Wind

So, every time you step in a direction, the wind also blows in that direction. And as you can see in the gif, this might push a block into a hole and out of your way.

It's a fairly neat idea, I think. There will, of course, be plenty more uses of wind than this, but they are yet to be revealed.

Developer Twirlbound reckons that With The Wind will be coming to iOS in early 2015. Keep checking its website for more updates.
