ApertureGames writes: "Gone is the era of the simple platform game, in a genre which has only recently been making a comeback simplicity is looked down on. Emberwind tries to reclaim some of that simplicity, but does it sway too far or is it balanced out correctly with a sense of challenge?
Emberwind follows the story of a Viking styled character named Kindle Elderwood who job is to be a local watchman. However when things start to take a turn for the worse, Kindle receives the task of saving areas around the Kingdom of Grendale from Gremlin invasions."
Anthony Bate says: "Emberwind was breathed into creation by Swedish indie developer Timetrap, although not originally for the iOS. This title first saw light on the PC back in January 2010. The title received a modicum of success, lauded for its fantastic art style with a good old fashioned retro feel to the game mechanics."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Emberwind is a 2D side scrolling adventure starring gnome watchman Kindle Elderwood. Armed with his cane of justice, the hero sets off on a dangerous quest to save the city of Grendale from the diabolical CandleFinger and his gremlin army.
Chillingo has announced the arrival of three new games for iOS formats this week: defeat a gremlin threat in the epic adventure game Emberwind, serve up some spicy Mexican cuisine in the time management game Taco Master, and outrun a tumbling snowball in the comical endless running game, Snowball Run. All three titles are available to download from Apple’s App Store now.
