Description
"Windosill isn't like anything I've played on the iPad before, and it proved to be a delightful, playful surprise. Give it a shot, and you'll be glad you did." - Kotaku
Explore a dream-like world of eleven beautifully-constructed environments in this iPad adaptation of the classic desktop adventure. Equal parts puzzle game, playful toy, and living picture-book, Windosill rewards playful investigation with mysterious and beautiful surprises. Designed to be experienced in a single sitting (anywhere between 20 minutes and 2 hours), Windosill is suitable for clever kids and imaginative adults alike.

For fans of the original, this is no simple port. In order to create the best possible experience, we've rebuilt Windosill as a native iOS app and customized the behavior of every element to the iPad's touch interface. We believe this is the best version of Windosill yet.
We've also added some bonus features:
- A sketchbook gallery of concept and development artwork.
- The option to instantly skip to any room you've already completed (helpful if you want to re-visit a particular part).
- Complex Gravity, which allows you to manipulate objects by tipping your iPad.
- See-Thru Mode, which makes everything translucent -- giving you a sneak-peek into how Windosill is assembled.

Praise for the desktop version:
"A magically-alive hyper-reality..." - OffWorld (BoingBoing.net)
"Explore a surreal environment by touching things, watching their incredibly smooth animation as they respond, and unpeeling their internal logic... the focus is always, always on playfulness and discovery... it's a joy to play Windosill." - JayIsGames.com
"Windosill somehow manages to be calming without being boring, challenging without being frustrating, and surprising without being gimmicky." - Destructoid
What's New in Version 1.1.2
This fixes a glitch on retina iPads (the waves behind the brick wall were getting cut-off). If you have a non-retina iPad, this update isn't necessary.

Simply the finest game on the iPad
Please don't dismiss this as a kids game. I neglected it for too long due to its category.
Having just finished it, I hardly know what to say. There is certainly nothing comparable. Windosill is simply sublime.
My only regret is that it ends. More? Please?
Excellent
I could not stop smiling. A bit short, but truly worth every penny. Everything that is wonderful and wondrous about technology.
I love it put a heart on it
From my 4 year old Harlow:
I love a brand new game that's called darkness. I don't like the hand in that game. I just like the pages in it. I like you but I don't care about what you want me to do. I don't want you to boss me around and that's not fair.
Windowselled you gotta play this. There's like a big hand to fix the letters for us, it helps people and it tricks us. The car can go door to door. It never works until you know! I love it around here!
And I love it but I don't like when it tricks us because I was trying to pull it but it never works. I wanna try and pull that hand!
