Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles* (simplified Chinese: 时空五行-风水大战; traditional Chinese: 時空五行-風水大戰; pinyin: Shíkōng Wǔxíng - Fēngshuǐ Dàzhàn, lit. "Wu Xing Space-Time - Great Feng Shui War") is a 2007 block-matching puzzle game developed by Yuan Works, a company based in Costa Rica. It was originally released for the portable GP2X and got a 2008 port for the Dreamcast and a 2011 port for PC.The general rule in the game is to swap the element-themed blocks around and match a minimum of 4 of the same color in a diamond shape, clearing any gems of the same color next to them and opening the way for chains to rack up more points. The game can be played in three modes with different ways of scoring large combinations and chains.The game has a robust story mode involving a girl named Amy on a quest to recover the five elements and recruit people for a puzzle tournament, while the developers' avatars try to keep her from finding the game isn't quite feature-complete yet. It also has a puzzle mode in which the player must clear the board in a limited amount of moves.The freeware PC version of the game can be downloaded here.It had a successful Greenlight campaign for a 2017 re-release on Steam with an online versus mode. |

Fake Longevity: The game imposes several limits on the player's Yuan Points wallet, so you have to spend all your points several times just to expand it instead of unlocking stuff. All the minigames are mandatory in Story Mode, but beating their hellish Hard modes there for whatever reason doesn't mark it as done in the minigame menu proper. |

| Wind And Water: Puzzle Battles (Video Game) / int_273b4c2a |
comment |
Some Dexterity Required: The game is easy enough to pick and play, but figuring out how to properly score points for those seemingly impossible secret goals and levels takes more than a little bit of training, planning and lightning-fast reflexes. And then there's the hard mode for each minigame, which can be a larger hurdle than the main game missions following them. |

comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Full screen clears require you to obtain and keep both the wind and void blocks and then set them on a 7-block hexagon containing one block of each color. It's quite the difficult thing to set up, but if done on the Time Chain SP mode, it starts a special mode where the combo timer barely ticks down when you're not making a move. |

Hao plays the role of "Dr. Left" the scientist at certain points, referencing Dr. Light's appearance in holograms during the Mega Man X series. A Dreamcast VMU working for "SOGA" appears during story mode. He displays Pong and a close-up of Sonic's face while introducing himself to Amy. Yuan, er, "Genji" quotes the "all your base are belong to us" line from Zero Wing at one point. |

Obvious Beta: Parodied. Amy heckles the developers about the cheapo feel of the story mode and the brothers themselves admit to not testing things throughly and consider just making post-release patches as they go along. |

Big Creepy-Crawlies: When Hao tells Amy to bring (programming) bugs to him, she instead brings a large beetle and freaks him out. Yuan is rather grossed out as well and tells Amy to let "Timmy" go back home. |

Mercy Mode: You can buy Cheese items to skip levels if you('re) s(t)uck on them. And although the game claims nobody but you will know whether you've chessed any levels, the game does keep track of that on your status card. |

Sequence Breaking: Some levels have secret objectives that open alternate routes that sometimes skip large chunks of the game. The requiriments are generally high enough that novice players would only clear them out of sheer dumb luck. |
