Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses! It’s me again yer favorite app pirate, sailing the seven seas with the best crew and me beloved parrot pet. As a pirate, me know how to read the direction of the wind, so me know how to navigate to get to the location we are trying to reach. Aye, me one of the best to navigate the good old Jolly Roger. This old salt has been doing it for a long time, so I can do it even with my eyes closed. Har, har, har. Speaking of the wind, I decided to share with ye an app that also has something to do with the wind. ‘Tis called Windin by No-pact. Avast ye and let’s start.
Adorable pastel colors
The colors of the images in the game are pastel, which are cute and make them fun to look at. The game is set in a camping ground where there are green grasses and trees, and the clear blue sky. There’s also a tent and near it is a campfire. The fire will tell you which direction the wind is blowing, so you can strategize on where to place your gems. The gems are also pastel in color, making them fit perfectly in the game’s theme.
A fresh take on match-3 games
It offers a refreshing twist to the match-3 puzzle game genre. Instead of the usual swiping of the same objects to remove them from the game window, you will be placing the gems on the area you choose. There will be one gem on top of the other and when the wind blows, the gem on top will drop if there is an empty space next to the gem under it.
Easy to learn, hard to master
The basic gameplay is easy to understand. You need to consider the direction of the wind to determine the best location to place the gems for a better chance of matching the same gems and scoring points. It’s challenging because you will not just find those that match, but instead, you have to strategize so the gems will be in the right places and make a match.
