I honestly can't find anything wrong with it"

Here it is finally,
the review from Swedish TV morning show with english subs.
There's a button to turn them on in youtube if you don't have that enabled already.
The review is obviously aimed at the morning show audience, hence a great deal of time is
spent explaining "indie games", but never the less it's a great review and Emberwind
scores an impressive 4/5.

Thomas Arnroth, probably the best known games reviewer in Sweden who has his own segment in
one of the morning shows on national TV, did a review of Emberwind (link to video will
be posted shortly). After the review he did a
follow-up interview with me for it24.se.
Unfortunately it's in Swedish and google translate is doing a pretty poor job with it.

Catastrophe at ZTGameDomain or Cathlin Sentz as her RL name is made a really nice
review of Emberwind scoring an 8/10.
You can tell she's spent a good deal of time in the game and done a thorough analysis pointing out the goods and the bads... water death pits! Ah, yeah what a blunder!
Good thing they're few and far apart. The pits aside she seems to have really enjoyed it and writes:
"This 2D platformer is cartoon pretty and intensely cute. If you want a fun platformer, Emberwind is an excellent option and a treat for the $12 price."

Manfred Beck at GamingXP.com has made a
review of Emberwind. It really stretched my high-school German to the limit,
but what a great review! Emberwind scores a very solid 77% and had it not been for the missing
multiplayer it would've scored well into the 80 mark.
German readers, please don't beat me up if I misquote this :)
"Ideal for casual gaming, Emberwind also provides enough depth for [serious] long term gaming,
and as was mentioned before, it's suitable to anyone."

Paul at GamerLimit has made a
review of Emberwind scoring yet another 7/10.
In his summary Paul writes:
"If you fondly recall time spent playing old platformers, then Emberwind is most certainly a game
for you. Regardless of any niggling flaws, the game is an almost illegal amount of fun to play."

Daniel at ApertureGames has made a review of Emberwind
scoring a pretty decent 7/10.
"Emberwind is a great game for younger players, with very little that would offend, and ultimately how much
you enjoy Emberwind is fully dependant on the challenge you’ll get for it.
I highly recommend you give the demo a try."
