    iWind Force is a radically new and innovative puzzle game; a unique addition to its genre.

    In this game, you are the master of wind, and your mission is to bring Jimmy and his fire balloon home with the wind force.

    Reviews in toucharcade.com


    "This is a fantastic puzzle game. I've played many puzzle games but I've never seen one where so many levels could be made with just 1 (read: ONE ) element: a fan. I mean seriously, puzzle games are all about level design and solution difficulty, so my first impression without playing the game was: how good can it be? As it turns out, you can make a lot of interesting levels with just the one fan. To be fair, its not just one fan: there's a whole array of them. I've reached level 28 and at times, you can have up to 12 fans on the screen. Its the interaction between these fans that forms the essence of this game. "

    "I really like this game. The gameplay and controls work perfectly fine, everything is set up nicely, even has a quick tutorial. iWind Force is a very original iphone puzzle game and I gotta give the dev some credit for that."

    "iWind Force is a casual un-timed (this is important for many people) puzzle game that challenges you to imagine the path the balloon should take by carefully placing and planning the interaction of an array of fans. If you are a person who likes the challenge in imagining all this path planning (Bobby Carrot, Sheepish, Slideshot, Crazy Machines) then this game would be the game for you."

    ===============================
    How to play

    You goal is to bring Jimmy and his hot air balloon home by wind force powered by a set of fans on your hand.Rotate and place them on the stage to guide the balloon.

    To solve the puzzles, directions, interactions of the wind and timing should be considered.

    Pit your intellect against 80 uniquely and elaborately designed levels.

    Rescue Razzle is a highly addictive puzzle game that will frazzle your brain as you attempt to solve all 40 challenging levels and 20 tough bonus levels, each more and more difficult than the last! An ideal game for a quick fix, but it's so addicting we know you’ll play for hours!

    Razzle, a little cute rat, is trapped in a cage, which is high up on a stack of crates. Too high up for anyone to attempt a rescue, he’s counting on you to save the day. Help Razzle by safely lowering him closer to the ground, one crate at a time! But, watch out for dangerous rat traps or standing water…if Razzle hits the ground, it's all over!

    You simply tap a wooden crate to break it and watch as Razzle and the other crates toss, turn, bump and fall into their new spot. Lower Razzle all the way down until his cage is sitting safely just above the mouse traps or water!

    Rescue Razzle might seem simple at the first glance, but you will find yourself strategizing and twisting your brain like never before to ensure you have touched that one crate at exactly the right time to make all the others fall into perfect place to save Razzle.

    Prepare for hours of puzzling, thought dazzling challenges, - all to rescue a raving, ranting and rambunctious rat named Razzle.

    WindForce

    I am the dev of WindForce, I think my game should be in the original puzzle game.

    The reviews:

    #1 This is a fantastic puzzle game. I've played many puzzle games but I've never seen one where so many levels could be made with just 1 (read: ONE ) element: a fan. I mean seriously, puzzle games are all about level design and solution difficulty, so my first impression without playing the game was: how good can it be?
    #2 As it turns out, you can make a lot of interesting levels with just the one fan. To be fair, its not just one fan: there's a whole array of them. I've reached level 28 and at times, you can have up to 12 fans on the screen. Its the interaction between these fans that forms the essence of this game. And there could not be a more appropriate name for the game: WindForce (I would have preferred a more gentler name like WindBlown, but WindForce does sound more aggressive )......(and 7 more in my app thread)

    ——Moderator Prab.

    This is a really cool and original puzzle game. The theme of the game is to try and move a character named Jimmy in his hot air balloon to Jimmy's home. You do this by placing fans on the grids of the gameboard to blow the balloon in the direction you want to it to go in, the fans can be rotated to face up, left, right, or down...you can change the direction the fans blow before placing them. Each fan that you place can only blow the fire balloon 2 spaces on the grid at most. You can place fans anywhere you want and they can be combined so they interact eachother and cause mixed effects, forcing the balloon to move in a combination of wind directions or diagnally because of the forces of more than one fan. If fans are set up to face eachother they will counteract each other's effects. It may sound a little complicated but its really not, at least it isn't any more complicated than any other good challenging puzzle game. Each level only allows a limited number of fans to use, you are usually given just the right amount needed to solve the puzzle/get Jimmy and the balloon home.

    I really like this game. The gameplay and controls work perfectly fine, everything is set up nicely, even has a quick tutorial. WindForce is a very original iphone puzzle game and I gotta give the dev some credit for that. With 50 levels included, I have a feeling I'm gonna be enjoying this game for a while. I was lucky enough to get a code for this game, but I would have no problem buying this now that I know what the game is like.

    I don't know why the appinfo refused to work in that post for Windforce. I've put a pic from appshopper instead.

    I've been making edits to the main posts...I just found out that there's a 10000 character limit :mad:. Sigh...I should have reserved another post. I'm going to have to make a new thread soon.

    Mods, could you lock this thread please?
