Windosill

This Flash game offers a beautiful view of the world

Words: on July 23, 2009

Vectorpark’s Flash-based games raise the bar with their mix of beautiful art, exploration, and a strong sense of glee.

Windosill finds a pitch-perfect balance between Magritte-inspired surrealism and an old-world craftsmanship for building children’s toys. The result is a short, sweet adventure of a wooden train making its way through a series of puzzle rooms. In each you must find the cube to open the door, via interaction with the creatures and objects.

It’s extremely short – 20 minutes at most. But there’s something so inherently lovely about it that you’ll want to throw $3 at the creator just for existing. Play the first half for free on the Windosill website.

    Plays and looks awesome, but it's not my cup of tea.

    I tried this out on the website and it's pretty interesting and a bit on the strange side, but worth playing if just for the experience. And 3 dollars is definitely not much to ask. You can make that in change from buying random stuff in less than 2 days.

    I played the preview. Nice game. Though I don't know if it's worth $3. I mean, they said the preview was half the game, and the preview was short.
