Windswept is an upcoming indie platformer inspired by classic platformers from the Super Nintendo era.
In Windswept, players control a duo of animal friends and combine their unique abilities to solve puzzles and to jump, dash, and bash enemies. The game appears to be heavily influenced by Donkey Kong Country (there’s even a Bramble Blast inspired level you can see in the trailer).
Windswept is a 2D collect-a-thon platformer paying homage to the good old days. ✨
