Lost Winds is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B.

As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Eclectic Gamer review Sat, 04 Jul 2009

Lost Winds is a beauty of a game, so gorgeous that it's tempting to overlook its flaws - the chief one of which is that while its simplicity of story and child protagonist make it appear that the game is perfect for children, the controls are so difficult to maneuver. Very few children under 10 years of age will have the dexterity to play the game. It's like having a kindly, beautiful kindergarten teacher who refuses to teach anything but calculus.

Created by Frontier Developments for WiiWare, Lost Winds is spectacularly pretty. Cherry blossom trees and waterfalls frame a village so quaint and charming that the platform nature of the game seems almost organic. The plot is simple enough: Toku is a young boy who falls into a mine and stumbles across Enril, a wind spirit. Together, they must save the village from the evil Balasar, overcoming obstacles and searching for tools to help them in their quest.
