Mobile gaming's innovative spirit shines brightly in Roia, a captivating puzzle-adventure from Emoak, the studio behind Paper Climb, Machinaero, and Lyxo. Roia's unique gameplay, born from the limitations and ubiquity of the smartphone, takes a surprisingly refreshing approach.
The core concept? Guiding a river from mountaintop to sea. Using intuitive finger controls, players sculpt the landscape, overcoming challenges to help the water flow.
Emoak shares that Roia holds deep personal meaning for designer Tobias Sturn, reflecting childhood memories of creekside play with his grandfather. The game, a tribute to his grandfather, beautifully captures the serene joy of observing water's natural flow.
Roia transcends simple categorization. While puzzles exist, the game's essence lies in its relaxing, meditative gameplay. Players journey through diverse, meticulously crafted environments—forests, meadows, villages—guided by a helpful white bird.
Visually, Roia echoes the elegant minimalism of Monument Valley. Complementing the stunning visuals is a moving original soundtrack by Johannes Johannson, who also scored Emoak's Lyxo.
Roia is available now on the Google Play Store and App Store for $2.99.
