Windswept is a game that proudly embraces its retro DNA, offering a challenging and personality-filled adventure. Although it draws heavily from Donkey Kong Country 2, the title delivers engaging moments, creative levels, and a charismatic duo of protagonists, guaranteeing fun for those who appreciate demanding platform games.

An enjoyable tribute to classic 90s platformers, Windswept blends taut controls, charming pixel art, and a challenging dual-character gameplay system. While its difficulty ramps up significantly across the late game, robust accessibility options ensure that players of all skill levels can enjoy Marbles the duck and Checkers the turtle cheerful and challenging outing.

Windswept is an adorable ode to classic 1990s platformers, mostly for better, but occasionally for worse. The charming design, stellar presentation, and fluid platforming mechanics are top-notch. Assists added to the game are thoughtfully included, especially because the game gets absurdly challenging by the end of the experience. This is a case of a near-flawless first act, but a second act that will leave many setting the controller down and walking away, or abusing assists just to see the game through. I still think it's one worth checking out for retro platformer fans, but I'm a bit bummed that what felt like a certified classic initially doesn't quite stick the landing in the end.

Windswept is a game with a super mario style from the 80's and 90's, its music is nothing remarkable although it is not bad. Its artistic section is beautiful (for me) its gameplay is very good with many moves and mechanics I love the part when dancing at the end of a level is very funny and all its collectibles are very well distributed and if you don't find one there is a level where they show you where they are and that improves its playability even more to be enjoyable. Very good 9/10 lacks the music part
