Cwind is an elegantly simple experience that focuses on the physics of flight and wind currents. As an expert in atmospheric puzzlers, I found the mechanics to be surprisingly deep despite the minimal aesthetic. You control a small paper airplane-like entity, navigating through breezy corridors by manipulating gusts of wind. The challenge lies in understanding momentum; you can't just power through obstacles, you have to 'read' the environment and let the air carry you.
The sound design is the standout feature hereβa serene, ambient soundscape that perfectly matches the visuals. While it may feel a bit short for seasoned gamers, the polish and 'zen' factor make it a perfect decompression tool. Itβs a game that demands patience and light touches rather than rapid reflexes, which is a refreshing change of pace in the mobile market.

*** A highly realistic sailing simulator for the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. ***
*** A MUST HAVE for sailing fans. ***
*** The best sailing game. ***
Have fun sailing fantastic boats in 3D in-shore regattas, right from the comfort of your phone and without even getting wet.
In this game, you will use the wind to move your boat fast and win regattas against other boats. You will be the skipper, the helm-man and will also trim the sails.
The main features of this realistic sailing game are:
- Online sailing: sail against real people!
- Or play in 'solo' mode: you'll compete against the computer, with different difficulty levels.
- A perfect way to refine your sailing techniques and tactics, or to learn how to sail in life-like situations.
- For beginners, cWind can coach you from marker to marker, by means of steering helps and progressive tutorials.
- A very complete instruments panel will give you all the data you'll need to brew a winning tactic and arrive first on the finishing line. But if you find that's too much, you can switch back to the 'basics'.
- Several boat types, from a 19th century cutter to the latest Imoca 60 footer. And now a new beach catamaran. The boats have their own characteristics and need to be sailed accordingly.
- Several regatta courses, some easy to start with, others very difficult to complete. Some of the regattas are even more challenging than what you'll ever encounter on real water! So make sure you choose the right boat for those... and keep her well trimmed at all times!
- The game implements the ISAF 2013-2016 racing rules of sailing. Respect them or you'll be penalised, like in real regattas!
- An on-screen radar will show you a tactical view of the course and will guide you from marker to marker.
- Two game modes: pure regattas, or regattas "with a twist", where you will hunt for "magic things" on the course to capsize the other boats, steal their wind, give you a turbo boost, and more...
You will have to use the wind and tidal currents to your advantage. You will steer the boat by tilting your phone, and you will trim your sails yourself for maximum speed.

Fair Winds and Following Seas!










Cwind is an atmospheric physics game that challenges you to guide a light craft through a series of increasingly complex levels. By interacting with the air and environment, you create wind currents to propel and steer your way past obstacles. With a focus on flow and tranquility, Cwind offers a unique puzzle experience that rewards gentle experimentation and rhythmic movement.
Dynamic wind physics
Ambient electronic soundtrack
Minimalist art style
Over 40 hand-crafted levels
To navigate tight corners, don't tap continuously. Instead, use short, rhythmic bursts to nudge your craft. Watching the particle effects in the air will help you identify which way the natural current is already pulling you.
The core gameplay involves tapping or swiping to generate air pressure. Your craft reacts to these changes realistically, allowing for graceful arcs and loops when timed correctly.
No, Cwind encourages a relaxed pace so you can explore the physics without pressure.
