Summary

Help free the city of Grendale from the evil CandleFinger and his gremlin hordes. The grand city of Grendale is under siege by mischievous hordes of gremlins and only a stubby gnome watchman named Kindle Elderwood can answer the call for a hero. Sail through the clouds on your ancient snow owl and deploy your cane of justice to save the kingdom from the underworld. [TimeTrap]

If you want a fun platformer, Emberwind is an excellent option and a treat for the $10 price. With open levels, abundant combat and a real foothold on "charming" it's too bad that so much lore was left on the website and out of the game.

But all these problems are easy to forgive the second you become absorbed in its charming world, its delightful sense of nostalgia and its smart twists on an age-old concept.

Emberwind is a solid 2D platform game, which you can play either way for fun or for the highscore. It‘s easy enough to convince casual gamers, it has got enough depth to making you play it again, and going for the #1 rank is always an argument. Always!

Gamer Limit

If you fondly recall time spent playing old platformers, then Emberwind is most certainly a game for you. Regardless of any niggling flaws, the game is an almost illegal amount of fun to play, and I have to admit almost makes me less gnomophobic.

DarkZero

Timetrap’s nod to classic 2D games is an admirable effort, but the repetitive levels and floaty controls do little to modernise a beloved but occasionally flawed genre.
