LostWinds Stuck on One of the Gold Coins

[Azure777]

Firstly this game is fantastic, no doubt; beautifully made.

However, I've come to a point at which I think I know how to continue but am perplexed by why such a finnicky and fiddly sequence has been included in the game.

I need to get 3 fruits in a net - fair enough. Except 2 of them require some annoying use of vortex on fruit for a few reasons.

1. It's annoying to do this accurately without Toku getting flown up too and getting in the way.

2. The fruit will smash on contact on many surfaces - very annoying.

3. It's possible to accidently go onto a new area; resetting all fruit. This wouldn't be bad but the 'enter new area' event is placed in a non intiutive place, pratically halfway on the screen and right in a playing area - extremely annoying.


Now unless I'm missing something I'll have to endure an exceedingly annoying and fiddly sequence - one that seems entirely at odds with the chilled out nature of this game.

I normally have no problems with any wiimote controls; but I am left handed and this seems an excessive requirement for such a mundane task; I've tried a few times but to no avail. Unless there's a tried and tested technique this is a game breaker for me as I'm not prepared to get frustrated over a game who's main selling point for me is its peaceful and relaxing nature.

Help is appreciated.

Don't use vortex on the fruit, just use the wind to guide it along. I was able to do it fairly quickly by just guiding the fruit along then using the wind to first guide Toku up one level, then bringing the fruit up with him. Then I would guide Toku to the next level, then the fruit and so forth. As long as you don't use vortex and take your time guiding the fruit along, you should be fine.

Another suggestion is to use slipstream to move the fruit gently, rather than gust.
