Windosill

Patrick Smith is a brilliant Flash artist who has been producing works of wonder for the past several years at VectorPark

His latest game is his most whimsical and technically sophisticated work to date, a downloadable game called Windosill.

There is nothing like Smith's stuff anywhere. He's managed to come up with a pseudo-3D engine for Flash that no one else has replicated.

In terms of game commerce, this is an interesting experiment because the download is only $3. The price point for most casual games has been $15, but now with GameLab going out of business, it looks like that wasn't enough to pay their bills, but at the same time was too expensive for many people to want to pay.

The download is free and you can play the first half without paying anything. I got about $20 worth of enjoyment out of it, so it was worth it.

Play Windosill.
