A game in the same vein as Lemmings, Spirits notably has far fewer powers to give your spirits. This is because, unlike Lemmings, Spirits relies upon a sort of physics engine where windspeed is the most important factor, capable of replacing most of those mobility-boosting skills in Lemmings. In theory, by using the capacity to shape windspeed by adding new currents to the mix, you can achieve subtle solutions to a wider range of problems with a smaller number of tools. ... Too bad it doesn't work out. The main problem is that the game focuses heavily upon "perfection" in getting your spirits out, and that means you can't miss. Unfortunately, the power you have to block wind flows through some areas are a total roll of the dice as to what they will actually do - sometimes, they block a passage you need blocked, other times, they bounce off some miniscule glitch in the geometry, and go flying into some random spot that winds up ruining your whole map, forcing you to reset. Again. ...

I wish there was a "meh" option because I'm kind of in the middle with this one. On the one hand it's a beautiful game, both in the art and music... very easy to play, quite simple all around, I've seen other people use words like relaxing and calming to describe it and sure, I can see that. On the other hand if you're like me and you're trying to do things perfectly you really have to complete each level in such a painfully specific way it's somewhat ridiculous. I mean kudos to the developers (if this was what they were trying to achieve) because this game seriously grinds your brain and will really test your patience and make you pay some serious attention to detail. I honestly can't tell if it's creative or if it just got lucky with how nit-picky the spirits are on the ground and how randomly they seem to move in the air. If you just want a puzzle game to relax with and casually play and aren't super concerned with perfect completion then sure, I'll recommend this game (do aim fo...
Spirits is very reminiscent of Lemmings. The little spirits can be inconsistent in their movement; sometimes one may land in a place that the others weren't able to, or they will walk through a blowing spirit - off a ledge - ruining the perfect score for that level. It's odd. I have to play in windowed mode as the game does not support my common multi-monitor setup; one corner of the game screen is blocking my mouse from accessing it, and one corner is stretched onto my second monitor. There are no graphic options. I just don't have the patience for games like this any more, especially with the little irritating issues that persist throughout the game.
This game has very little predictability, little visual interest, and repetitive music. I wanted to like it, but it was too unpredictable. I couldn't enjoy constantly restarting and constantly being told "not enough spirits to complete level" when the little guys would get stuck or act weird near a ledge or any other sharp angle. Not a game for completionists. Not a game for anyone.
A lovely little platformer in many ways. If you prefer a more relaxed style of play, this would be right up your alley. Peaceful colors, peaceful music, cheerful little leaves waking up and walking in a most determined fashion towards certain doom, or possibly just a dead end that will make them knock into each other like they're in a zen mosh pit. Each of the spirits can be used in different ways to assist their fellows in escaping each level, a relatively stressless sacrifice unless you use too many of them and lose. I LIKE.
Nice reincarnation of "Lemmings"! Easy, but beautiful 9/10
very relexing, it's so calming that is you loss to many spirits, you don't mind starting over.
The excitement of the game truly unfolds in its later stages. Initially, it was rather unremarkable, but as you progress, it becomes increasingly captivating. I connected to my dead grandma through this game. She is chillin up there and doesn't remember me who I am.
This game pretty darn boring to be honest with you. Looks and feels like something you would find for free on a site with flash games. Definately don't buy unless it is on sale. And even then think twice about weather you want to spend a lot of time trying to get these boring versions of lemming from point a to point b.
If you like Lemmings, You'll like this game. I don't like Lemmings, so this game got boring within 5 minutes.
