    Take control of the wind and guide the leaves through a beautiful and stylish world. Try to survive through the year as the seasons change and the leaves fall.

    You are the wind, guide the leaves, flourish in the summer, survive the winter.

    • Simple and intuitive ‘one touch’ controls
    • Relaxing play with the soothing sound of the wind, or challenge yourself to beat your friends
    • Beautiful world that’s generated as you play so it’s different every time
    • Game Center enabled with lots of tricky achievements, and leader boards to challenge your friends
    • Universal app, buy once and play on your iPhone, iPod and iPad.

    A little bit about me: I'm David Buttress, I spent years working for Microsoft/Rare on Xbox and 360, learning everything I could about making great games, and have now sailed off on my own, heading for that mythical isle of superstar indie devs :)

    If you want to keep up to date on progress, there are links to my facebook page, twitter, or an rss feed on my site.

    *Edit - added trailer, app blurb, new screen shots

    I've added a new trailer to the first post. I'm just making the last couple of tweaks before submitting to the app store, so hopefully should be available in the next couple of weeks!

    It can be relaxing if you play it that way, or it can be more challenging and energetic if you go for high scores. I've tried to balance it so it's it's fun to play in different ways.

    THIS is the kind of unique thinking that has me loving the App Store. It's original, beautiful looking, and looks quite fun.

    Looks very nice, but don't really understand how it plays...is it more of a meditative experience than a challenging game?

    I've now added support for the full retina resolution of the new iPad, and it looks lovely. It will still be released as a single universal app.

    @LazyGame It plays somewhat like an endless runner, your leaves will gradually die off, or will be lost when they touch the ground, so you must keep collecting more. If you lose them all it's game over. I've balanced it so it's nice and peaceful if you just collect the odd leave to keep going, but if you try and collect them all (to go for the high score) it can get quite fast paced and energetic.

    Looks fantastic, very unique. I'll have to check this one out.

    Reminds me of Flower on PSN a little, but that game is still on my backlog so I haven't played it yet, so yea might be completely different.

    Great job!
