Evaluation

Talewind launched on September 22, 2016 and received active post-launch support for approximately two months. The developer shipped two free content updates: a Halloween-themed level pack on October 27, 2016 (Isaac's Basement), and the Explorer's Update on November 23, 2016, which added five new shortcut maps, achievements, Steam cards, and badges. Both were delivered free of charge to existing players. After the Explorer's Update, developer communication about Talewind shifted focus away from new content. On March 7, 2018, WindLimit Studios announced they had moved on to a new game called "Ashes." On October 27, 2018, they confirmed Ashes had launched, using the Talewind store page primarily to promote discounts tied to the new title's release. The last communication of any kind from the developer was on October 27, 2018, and no new content, updates, or roadmaps for Talewind have been announced since. The studio's own announcements make clear their focus moved to Ashes. The game launched as a complete product, delivered two bonus free content drops shortly after release, and has had no further development activity since late 2018. Talewind can be considered a finished game with all content available.

About this game

What is Talewind?


Talewind is a VERY HARD 2D platformer with the wind as a core mechanic, mostly suited for hardcore platforming fans and completionists.
You can jump, glide and move trough wind tunnels in order to travel across the levels.
Play through FIVE different worlds filled with beautiful hand-painted environments.

Don't let its looks fool you, you are going to need some serious mechanical skills to reach the end.


The Story


You live in a small village at the bottom of a mountain. This mountain is not like the others though. Surrounding it,
strong winds never cease to blow. To this village the wind is a blessing, a never ending source of energy essential to everyday life.

But one day, the wind gets weaker and starts to fade.
You set off on a journey to climb the mountain and find out what is happening.
