Mobile gaming's remarkable contribution to game design innovation is undeniable. The unique, buttonless nature of smartphones, coupled with their global reach, has propelled video games into uncharted territories. Roia perfectly exemplifies this evolution.
This innovative puzzle-adventure is the latest creation from Emoak, the acclaimed 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 a flowing stream to the sea by skillfully shaping the terrain with your finger.Emoak's press release reveals the deeply personal connection Roia holds for lead designer Tobias Sturn. His childhood memories of playing in a creek near his grandparents' house, building waterwheels and bridges with his grandfather, profoundly influenced the game's design. The game is dedicated to his grandfather, who passed away during its development.
Roia defies easy categorization. While challenges exist, the game's essence is about relaxation and mindful play. Your journey unfolds across beautifully crafted environments—forests, meadows, and charming villages—guided by a helpful white bird.
The screenshots showcase Roia's elegant, minimalist aesthetic, reminiscent of Monument Valley. Beyond the visuals, the game boasts a captivating, original 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.
