Hi Hao! Awesome news! I feel like if I talk to you, you'll challenge me to a puzzle battle, must be a side effect of W&W.

I downloaded the PC version on my Mac and it ran flawlessly via the application CrossOver. I was very glad to see Mister VMU.

Best of luck on your current and future projects and thanks for the reply!

Ladies and Gentleman please welcome Hao Yuan, creator of W&W:PB.

Damn, I haven't played Fast Striker, gotta get that one! Last Hope was hard but we managed to beat it, nice list!

Barry, thanks for the love, we put so much love into making W&W so that players could remember the gamer era of the 80's and 90's, good old days Reviews like yours really make the difference and are the fuel that keep us going on with our projects however hard they are.

On other news, just a couple of days after this post W&W was released FREE for PC, and depending on the feedback that we get, we'll go into making W&W Online with netplay (currently on development with very good results). More info: http://www.wind-water.net

Thanks again!

Fun fact: Rush Rush Rally Racing actually does *not* run on KallistiOS.

True, W&W did have the occasional difficulty spikes. Thankfully they had that "cheese" item in the shop that you could buy and use to "complete" any stage with no score to progress.So if stuck, try playing previous stages to build up in-game cash to buy the cheese. Also, practice in the free play mode. I found myself able to beat tough bosses thanks to practice.

I truly enjoyed the story, the graphics and the music in W&W. However i found it really to difficult. I found myself getting stuck really early in the campaign. I don't know, maybe i'm just stupid?

Sometimes I find my self wishing it looked prettier, that's all.

Regardless the game is a gem, an absolute gem.

I just hope this isn't their first and last game their blog hasn't had any activity in a while.

W&W definitely does not look like a Master System title, not sure what 8-bit games you're playing but I have never heard music like this on an 8-bit machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6ZCU1FfseI I do agree though that it has Mega Drive quality graphics, not that that's a bad thing at all.

Fun Fact Cryptic Allusions of Feet of Fury fame are responsible for coding KallistiOS, the OS all indie games run on and the direct rival to Sega's very own Kitana SDK.

While W&W:PB looks like a game for the Master System or early MD title, it even sounds like it is from the 8bit era.

But once your in to the game, you'll be into the game and it also has a lot of fun stuff.
