"Art so beautiful it could have been lifted from a Miyazaki movie." –WIRED

Autumn is coming. Leaves fall, and spirits rise from the fallen leaves to begin their journey home. You must guide them, without direct control, by changing how the wind blows or by rebuilding the ground. Each spirit can be sacrificed to perform one of four actions - build a bridge of leaves, create a blowing cloud, dig tunnels, or block wind currents in an area. Use your actions wisely or you will run out of spirits. In each level its up to you to find your own creative solution on how to get the spirits to the goal.

–TouchArcade

"Gorgeous visuals; ambient music; solid level design"
–Slide To Play

"Where Spirits really innovates is in its look and feel. When the wind physics start to do their thing, the experience is pretty magical"
–TUAW, Mike Schramm

"Spirits is more than just a pretty face, as youll utilize little creatures to build ladders, dig tunnels, or blow gusts of wind to get their counterparts to an exit. Its similar to what weve seen in Lemmings or Downstream Panic, but the use of wind and the diverse puzzles keep things fresh and interesting"
–GamesRadar

"Relaxing, stunning, and simple will keep players coming back for more"
–148Apps

"Visually, the game is gorgeous. Everything has a soft, ethereal vibe to it, particularly the soothing ambient music and the challenging (but not frustrating) level design"
–The Mac Gamer

"There is so much attention to detail in this game that once you have finished it you will want to play it all over again"

Pros and cons of Spirits app for iPhone and iPad

Spirits app good for

It is a very rare thing, to find such an amazingly beautiful game. I would even pay for such a game- soooo dl dl DL

With a visual style that feels like a perfect blend of Limbo, The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, and the work of anime legend Hayao Miyazaki, Spirits for iPad immediately enraptured us with its impressive minimalist aesthetic. Luckily, the gameplay holds up its end of the deal, as well, as youll utilize the abilities of the titular creatures to reach an exit in each stage. Wind plays a big part in the experience, and youll use the creatures abilities to burrow tunnels, build ladders, and generate focused sources of wind to tackle each puzzle. Were reminded of games like Lemmings and Downstream Panic, but Spirits for iPad maintains a unique sensation all its own.

Really good game and unique feel. Hope it continues to be developed to feel a bit more visually refined.

A bit of oddworld, a bit of rayman and a bit of ookami. A must play

Creative use of space, and great replay! New concept it seems like, and great music and sounds! Glad I got this free, and if its still there, grab it. If you gotta pay, grab it regardless!!!

This game is awesome, graphics are great, and sound too! 5 stars!!!!

Some bad moments

When you tap the Spirits, it doesnt register. Therefore the five abilities dont show up. You cant even get passed level one, as the controls are unresponsive.

I also got it a few months ago when it was free. My cousin wanted to do something and she accidently deleted it. Im just wondering when it will be free for a limited time again. But, 5 stars.

This game is so dream-like and eerie, its just gorgeous! But there are some things I would fix or add. Retina display is needed for the menu buttons, and it would be nice to have music in the main menu. Add Game Center leaderboards, and thatll make this game near perfect!

This game is so enjoyable. The concept is genius. My four year old likes to watch me play, but she isnt able to just yet. Im hoping for a part two or something more from the creators asap.

Game is fun - very much like lemmings with a more spiritual being kind of spirit. Couple requests: Music is very tiring after a short while. Long sustain notes with keyboard orchestral sounds is not very spiritual. Need more levels. For the price you ask this should have 3 times the levels. Pleas make this HD so that it looks better on My iPad2. Thank you.

The art style is wonderful and the puzzling gameplay is very good also. For 99 cents, I think its a must buy.
