About the Game
The Ark shudders. Warning bells cry out across the sky. For generations, your floating home has orbited the mighty Vortex in peace—but that calm was a lie. Now, the storm awakens, its maelstrom tearing your world apart island by island.
You are a Leaper. A warrior with the impossible speed needed to dash between the fragments of your world and fight back. You must absorb the memories of fallen heroes, rebuild their weapons, and strike at the heart of the storm.
This is Windblown, a lightning-fast action roguelite from Motion Twin, the crafters of Dead Cells. Fail, and everything you know will be scattered to the winds. No pressure…
LEAP INTO CHAOS
Like a bolt of lightning, freely dash through vast, ever-changing islands in the sky where each run is teeming with secrets to uncover. Find your rhythm in relentless battles against the Vortex's Sentinels, and face oppressive bosses who just can't wait to chew you up and spit you out.
DISCOVER YOUR PERFECT BUILD
Leapers can absorb the memories of the fallen warriors who came before, unlocking special powers and allowing you to reforge their equipment. This unlocks countless combinations, letting you create unique and crazy synergies. Equip up to two weapons and use their bespoke playstyles to unleash super-powerful and hidden Alterattacks. Combine this with Gifts, handy Trinkets and droppable Magifishes to adapt to every situation by shifting your build on the fly.
DEATH IS A LESSON
Combat in the Vortex is intense and demanding; your success is forged by both skill and strategy. Each defeat sends you back to the Ark not with failure, but with progress: the knowledge of a boss's devastating attack, and the ability to unlock powerful new weapons, Gifts, and more. Death is not an end, but a chance to regroup, re-arm, and return with a vengeance.
FORGE YOUR OWN PATH, SOLO OR TOGETHER
Test your mastery of the storm alone, or rally with fellow Leapers in online co-op. Bring your friends to unleash chaos, combining your builds to execute spectacular combos that reward perfect teamwork.
YOUR VOICE SHAPES THE VORTEX
Our development is forged by community feedback. Just as the community was essential in shaping Dead Cells, you, our players, are the key to Windblown's future. We are actively listening and building this game with you. If you want your voice to be heard, join our official Discord and be part of the conversation.
Now, go and prove yourselves, Leapers. Dash into a lightning-fast adventure through the sky and get ready for a colorful death... Dismissed!

Hey Leapers!
Thanks for all the feedback and support since last week’s update. (And a quick shout-out to those leaving personal messages in the in-game reports—yes, we definitely see those!)
We’ve spent the last few weeks digging through your new expedition data and comments to figure out what needed immediate fixing and what just needed to feel better.
Here is what’s changing in 0.9.3:
Lost Archipelago & World Balance
The layout of the Lost Archipelago wasn't quite where we wanted it to be. We’ve rewritten the generation algorithm:
- The Centerpiece: Islands now generate around the Broken Town Hall. This should make it feel more like… home?!
- Global Balancing: We’ve tuned the placement and balancing of encounters across all biomes, not just the Archipelago, to make the overall difficulty and loot curve feel more consistent.
Community Fixes
We saw these requested a lot, so we’ve pulled them into this patch (thanks for the suggestions!):
- Trial Chests: Now contain Gift Amplifiers.
- Accelerated Payments: These should feel much snappier now.
- Map Pause: Opening the map now actually pauses the game. No more getting hit while checking your location.
- Steam Deck: We’ve enabled Volumetric Clouds by default. It looks better and the Deck handles it well.
What’s Next?
We’re currently reworking the generation layouts for the Sanctuary, Rat Village, and Incubator. Expect those in upcoming regular patches. We’re also working on some bigger stuff in the background that we aren't quite ready to show yet.
