Community Insight:
This is our go to game every time. We get tried of playing most games, not that we many due to limited time. The title explains why this game never gets old. Our tip to you is: when you get tried of thinking/playing just stop. Dont game it and when you come back to it, you pickup where you left off. When you do this, most of time you will see a play that you didnt see when you left off.
This game is an incredibly good puzzle type game. Its one of the easy to learn but hard to master types. Its perfect in our opinion. Developers did a great job with the execution and concept of it. Like the other reviews, its a perfect balance of strategy & chance. The only reason we rated it 3 stars is solely because of the Ads. We use to play this game a lot several years ago and they were not this bad. Every 3-5 moves an add comes up. Ive had a lot of Ads the very first game back. We havent even finished the game but we keep exiting the app because of how bad the Ads have become. Im the type of person that cannot stand a bunch of them coming up before the end of the game. It would be different if you were able to exit out of the them, but unfortunately, they dont give that option. If a game requires that many ads before a single game is finished, we feel they should allow you to exit the ad. So all and all, if you dont like a lot of Ads coming up during a single game, you probably will become annoyed. It makes us so sad to see this game get swallowed by the era of the Ads.
For no reason apps started to show adds again after we purchased no-adds for 3 dollars. Can't play because of annoying adds and don't want to pay again. Update: devs claimed it is impossible to see adds after we purchased no-ads. Well, we see impossible every minute now. We tried everything, killed the app, re-downloaded, reset settings on the phone. No matter what, after successful restore of purchase we see adds anyway. We cant get refund because of date of purchase expired long time ago for return. Devs sent us codes to activate no-add – NOT WORKING. Very frustrating.
Way to many add all the sudden. Like every three moves. Killing the fun- time to find a new game.
It's a perfect in just about everyway. It's beautiful on the screen so it's enjoyable to look at, there a perfect balance between strategy and chance. The "powers" help tremendously and it's kind of fun to try and earn enough points to get them! It's perfect the way it is please don't try to be "innovative" and change it all up so it's confusing and no fun anymore.
This is a good game to play. We wish there were actual levels to complete instead of just the same game over and over.
We like the game because its so inter tanning.
Great game. Fun graphics. Challenging.
Music and puzzle. … Then BLAM! More than ads, loud happy ad music. We personally dont care for whack-a-mole, but fans will enjoy the way the ads 'xs whisk you away on unexpected adventures. Bye bye concentration. So, two stars for making us work extra hard to focus. We play several other ad-based puzzles with thinking music' who place ads that dont break the mood. We can play quietly and quietly watch the ads. Right now we think its too jangly. Im so annoyed Im NOT paying the ransom.
At first we thought it might not be that great but boy we were wrong. We played and it started to unfold more and more and we really have to concentrate, thats good for our age, it is not boring at all and once you start you dont want to stop, we are enjoying this game very much Thank You.
We love this game. Its easy to learn but it can be tricky too. Recently however, there must have been an update, instead of having an ad or two between games its every 5 or so plays. Its getting old fast. If it were $1 Id gladly pay the ransom but $3 seems like a lot compared to other games in the store, plus we think theres in app purchases also. Different ads might be nice too, same 3 or 4 games ads over and over. We end up taking breaks from the ads not the game.
We like the game, but the ads ruin it. Ads pop up during gameplay after every couple moves. Many games of this type advertise between lives, but this one's ads actually disrupts the game itself.
It seemed a little silly at first, but now we're quite addicted. So much so that it is currently the only game we play.
We love this freakin game, we even got our husband playing.
Just a simple little game to make you think in strategic ways. Very enjoyable way to take a mental break.
This games makes you think, we literally relaxes us and makes us forget about the long commute that's ahead of us when traveling.
A well designed, challenging, and entertaining game we would have given five stars but is way too aggressive pushing ads for which we have to deduct two stars for a net rating of only three.
Not exactly chess, but not checkers either. If you have a good mind for chess-like games you'll love this. Even kids would love it because it has an easy learning scale. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. And we've never said that in any review we've ever written. Brilliant idea.
Great way to spend a windy afternoon.
Great game seems simple but not easy. Ad friendly.
We like this game it is a good time filler and can be challenging even though the concept is simple.
Windin is harder than it looks. It's an almost perfectly executed game of strategy and chance. One need not buy anything to completely enjoy the game; the ads are minimal. There are no timers to stress about and you can leave the game and come back to it later without losing progress. Our only complaints are minor. A lot of the praise the raccoon doles out is primarily directed toward new players … "you're getting the hang of this" and the like … And doesn't evolve as the player does. Second, his word bubble covers the wind direction indicators so one must wait until it goes away to begin the round. Switching it to the left side would solve that.
We read other reviews about how fun and addictive this game is. Well it's true… Thank You.
Match-3 on an innovative platform.
Both cathartic and challenging. A wonderful way to pass the time.
Perfect if you love puzzle games.
Fun and meditative. Calming game, where the only competition is against your previous score.
Love this game. It's so addicting and also a bit challenging. But overall fun.
We, like another review had said never do reviews because we don't like just saying Fun, cool, great we don't think that really helps anyone so we're making time to say we really like how you have to plan 1 or 2 steps ahead so you can get that higher score. 1 thing that we didn't do at first was watch that arrow so we knew which way our colors would end up after the wind came by. There is no timer (we love that!) so take your time and think about your moves. The bonus buttons you earn are great. Give this game a try its fantastic.
It's a great almost-strategy-puzzle game with the unpredictable wind twist to it. It is challenging and fun, and you can leave the game as many times as you want and come back to it later. GENIUS.
Easy to learn but difficult to master. A good way to while away your time.
Great game… Can put it down and pick up where you left off! We never leave reviews…never ever, but this game is worthy of doing so.
We literally cannot stop playing this game! It's amazing.
Simple to learn, difficult to master. This is a title that is easy to pick up and play for short bursts, just what we were looking for.
Keeps your mind going! Really enjoying the game.
The game is well put together the logic is traced behind subconscious decision making. The only real negative we have found is that the game drains your battery very quickly.
At first you are trying to get three colors in a row. Then someone turns on the wind. Now you need to plan one or two moves ahead to get checkers cleared! Wind direction changes frequently, so pay attention! And then don't forget the power ups. For a brief moment, make the wind do what you want! Or just turn a stack on its head so you get the color you need…to make 3 in a row. Get ready for the challenge.
Challenging for your mind! Keep an eye on the wind.
Game has a very unique mechanic which is very simple to learn in the beginning but challenges the player in every turn. One of the best games that we played yet.
Really enjoying playing this game . It's a new twist on a puzzle game.
Lots of time spent playing this already and barely getting any better. It's a challenging good time.
Short game prefect for waiting rooms.
Give it a try! It's very addictive.
Yes, we like it! Yes, we play everyday. The only thing we would like to change is the wind to be predictable to be able to plan ahead.
Neither Windin nor your brain will ever grow old.
Overall the game and strategy plays well, could use some variation to levels as you progress through the first 100 level ups. Entertaining.
If you would like a brain exercise this is the game to get.
This game is unlike no other. Sure there is many games where you match three and POOF! Ya win. But this game has components that a lot of other matching games don't. It can also be tricky which is a fun challenge. Great game.
Easy to understand the basics but takes time to understand the nuances and strategy.
