unlabelledView post →Windswept is here! a mod that vastly expands colder regions of the game by adding new biomes such as tundras, pine barrens, chestnut forests & lavender fields, along with new flowers, blocksets, enemies and much more! as for now it's available for forge, 1.20.1 (link in replies)
unlabelledView post →Today's discourse is: Do achievements enhance the gaming experience? IMO: Doing something you'd do anyway (clearing the tutorial, beating the game, etc), adds nothing. Achievements should be for dumb extra stuff you wouldn't otherwise do. Anyway Windswept has both! Nobody wins!

unlabelledView post →Windswept is like a Donkey Kong Country game on steroids. I'm almost done, but... holy hell, it's tough
unlabelledView post →Finally completed this tonight! If Windswept is a loving tribute to SNES Donkey Kong Country then this game is a loving tribute to modern Donkey Kong Country with shades of Crash Bandicoot and Rayman. Overall a solid indie game and one worth considering. The final boss is very hard tho!

unlabelledView post →My ★★★★ review of Windswept (2025) on @backloggd.com This is a game made by a sicko who loves Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, for sickos who love Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. As a sicko who loves Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, this game is neat! bckl.gg/qcwm

unlabelledView post →Windswept is real good ya’ll should play it
unlabelledView post →Playing through the game Windswept. I'm pretty early on, but despite me thinking it's a pretty good game... it's really REALLY rough at times. Too many game mechanics thrown upon you. Most levels are really boring. But then it throws you an optional challenge level that feels so peak its wild
unlabelledView post →I had never heard of Windswept before, but I just watched the trailer and it put a huge smile on my face. Looks like a really charming game. 😊 youtu.be/gdPKOPrT5fw?...
unlabelledView post →If you're thinking about putting a 3 minute long autoscroller in your game with no checkpoints you really shouldn't be (Windswept)
unlabelledView post →Go pick up Windswept! Beck also is working on Project Starlight as the colorist! I'm so proud of you, friend! I'm gonna get the game soon! :3
unlabelledView post →It would figure my Internet is down the day that Windswept comes out, a game I've been looking forward to since funding the Kickstarter in 2023
unlabelledView post →Anyways, Windswept Isle is a very cute game that really showed me how much personality you can put into RTP assets, and I think you should give it a look farawaytimes.itch.io/windswept-isle
unlabelledView post →AHHHHHH!!! At long last... After hours of struggle... I have finished this gauntlet of a stage that shares its name with the title of the game! I still have one stage to go, but this alone is a huge accomplishment! #Windswept #NintendoSwitch

unlabelledView post →Now that I have finished Windswept I've moved on to another platformer starring animals. This game sparks so much joy. I'm having a complete blast exploring and finding bananas, sometimes by accident! #NintendoSwitch2 #DonkeyKongBananza
unlabelledView post →I'm fucking obsessed with Windswept, guys. I played that same section I suffered through last night because I flubbed getting a collectable and cleared it again in like 10 minutes. As much as it infuriates me this has gotta be my new favorite indie game.
unlabelledView post →Trying to work theough an art block and I felt like sharing, I drew Marbles and Checkers from the game Windswept, my favorite non-DKC DKC game
unlabelledView post →I got this cute indie game called Windswept because it's on sale and it is very quickly becoming a new favorite. Not only is it adorable but it heavily reminds me of DKC2 while also having really fun movement. It's bringing out the "I'll get it this time!" in me.
unlabelledView post →yeahh i had similar experience playing Windswept game; it's a fun game until you reach hard levels that requires so much precise movement + timing and i wasn't having fun anymore so i quit. my partner called these games "masochist platformers" lol

unlabelledView post →@countesskaro.bsky.social I managed to get myself a physical copy of Windswept! Gonna be doing a future ranking of every DKC like game I’ve played. 👌
unlabelledView post →White Dew, Windswept Grass - Atelier Ryza 2 Hearing this for the first time in-game was quite a treat, especially knowing that it quotes battle themes from the first Atelier Ryza www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZkd...
unlabelledView post →And that's credits on Windswept. What a fun, if sometimes infuriating, game. I got so mad at the final boss. And there is still an apparently extremely difficult post-game ahead. But it feels good to knock this one out! #Windswept #NintendoSwitch
unlabelledView post →Windswept?? Duck... AND Turtle?? I have no idea if I remember how to play this... It's been so long.... Come hang out! www.twitch.tv/gravedice
unlabelledView post →I swear this game is forcing me to learn how to speedrun because of how many times I've had to replay the same segments over and over from repeated failures. These crab levels are the worst. #Windswept #NintendoSwitch
unlabelledView post →🕹️ Weekly Physical Video Game Releases 🎮 This week our calendar features the new Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs Villains game and Windswept, which is getting a physical edition after its digital launch last year. Are you interested in these titles? #Games #Gaming #GamingNews #PlayStation #Nintendo
unlabelledView post →Celeste --> anything other than any%. But I've always ended up with any%, even in blindfolded 😂. For games: more speedruns in general and probably indie games. Decline's Drops/Windswept. Maybe a childhood Nintendo DS game or new blindfold speedgame (smaller than Celeste).

unlabelledView post →#NintendoSwitch Review Video: #WINDSWEPT - While its controls can be a lot at first, the choices they open up make for some great platforming and puzzling challenges #IndieGames https://youtu.be/1hWn_PMwUUQ
unlabelledView post →#41 Windswept This game is inspired by Donkey Kong Country, particularly the third game to me. The pixel art style is great, most of the levels are fun and it's really fun to control. However, going for collectables was exhausting because they're often hidden obnoxiously.
