Mobile gaming's remarkable contribution to game design innovation is undeniable. Smartphones, with their unique buttonless interface and massive global reach, have propelled video games into uncharted territories. Roia, a prime example, showcases this evolution.
This innovative puzzle-adventure is Emoak's latest creation, the indie studio behind successful titles like Paper Climb, Machinaero, and the award-winning Lyxo.
Surprisingly, Roia's core objective is simple: create a river. Starting from a mountain peak, you guide the water's flow to the sea, shaping the landscape with your finger.Emoak's press release reveals the game's deep personal connection to chief designer Tobias Sturn. His childhood memories of playing in a creek behind his grandparents' house, building waterwheels and bridges with his grandfather, profoundly influenced the game's design. Roia is dedicated to his grandfather's memory.
Roia defies easy categorization. While challenges exist, the game's essence is relaxation. Your journey unfolds across meticulously crafted environments – forests, meadows, and charming villages – guided by a helpful white bird.
The screenshots reveal Roia's elegant, minimalist aesthetic, reminiscent of Monument Valley. Complementing the visuals is a captivating soundtrack composed by Johannes Johannson, who also worked on Emoak's Lyxo.
Roia is available now on the Google Play Store and App Store for $2.99.
