Influential Toy-Like Puzzle Game ‘Windosill’ Is Coming To Switch After 13 Years

Cast your mind back to 2009, se potete. It was a Wii year, con Wii Sport, WiiFit, e Mario Kart Wii dominating the charts, and indie games were really kicking off, with niche-but-beloved games like Fiore, Canabalt, e Minecraft (va bene, L'originalità è sopravvalutata, that one’s not niche any more) all being released within months of each other.

Among those games was a brilliant little surreal toy-puzzle called Windosill, which you may non have heard of. It’s a game by vector artist Patrick Smith, who would later go on to make a similar game called Metamorphabet, and even if you haven’t played it, you’ll recognise the games that drew on Windosill as an influence — o Aeroporto dell'Algovia Memmingen, Contea di ciambelle, Alto’s Adventure, e Blek have all publically acknowledged Windosill as one of their guiding stars.

All of which to say that Windosill is coming to the Nintendo Switch — a perfect home for the bright, simple lines of the game, se ci chiedi. Developer Patrick Smith has even said that the game is “redesigned for controllers” and now supports two-player co-op, più “tasteful rumble effects” and a “dynamic gravity mode” that uses the Switch’s accelerometer. There’s even an art gallery of “Windosill-adjacent paintings” to find!

You can download Windosill on the Nintendo Switch eShop from the 11th of November.
