Hooked Gamers writes: "In Emberwind, you play the role of Kindle Elderwood, is a gnome watchman tasked with saving the city of Grendale from attacking gremlins and their evil leader, CandleFinger. That's about all there is to this story. In most games that would signal a problem but not so in this game. You see, Emberwind is really all about the gameplay. One level following another, the player is tasked with rescuing all of his fellow citizens. This means clearing all of the gremlins from their houses and taking out all of the enemies. What makes this interesting is that the player's character is a gnome. In the fantasy genre, that isn't exactly common as gamers usually crawl into the skin of a human or elf character, along with the occasional dwarf."
Anthony Bate says: "Emberwind was breathed into creation by Swedish indie developer Timetrap, although not originally for the iOS. This title first saw light on the PC back in January 2010. The title received a modicum of success, lauded for its fantastic art style with a good old fashioned retro feel to the game mechanics."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Emberwind is a 2D side scrolling adventure starring gnome watchman Kindle Elderwood. Armed with his cane of justice, the hero sets off on a dangerous quest to save the city of Grendale from the diabolical CandleFinger and his gremlin army.
Chillingo has announced the arrival of three new games for iOS formats this week: defeat a gremlin threat in the epic adventure game Emberwind, serve up some spicy Mexican cuisine in the time management game Taco Master, and outrun a tumbling snowball in the comical endless running game, Snowball Run. All three titles are available to download from Apple’s App Store now.
