A fantastic collect-a-thon platformer
Windswept is a good ol' 2D platformer with great level design, a varied moveset and a whole load of things to collect. The gameplay is snappy and tight, and the levels are fantastic with so many things to find in them, which require you to figure out what string of moves you need to do in order to reach them. The game has fully rebindable controls, and also features modifiers to make the game as easy (infinite jump, invincibility) or hard (one-hit is game over, no checkpoints) as you want. You can even play the game co-op (locally) if you really wanted to similarly to the Sonic & Tails setup in the old Sonic games. There's no backtracking in this game as you don't gain moves as you progress, unlike Metroidvanias, you have everything straight away so if you can't figure out how to reach something, it's a knowledge gap rather than "I haven't progressed far enough" issue. Definitely recommended to any fans of 2D platformers and/or collect-a-thons!
