🏆 Indie Studio Emoak Releases Serene Mobile Game: Roia

Mobile gaming's innovative spirit is truly inspiring, and Roia is a prime example. This unique puzzle-adventure, from the indie studio Emoak (creators of Paper Climb, Machinaero, and Lyxo), takes an unexpected approach to game design.

The core concept? Guiding a river to the sea. Using intuitive fingertip controls, players shape the landscape, gently directing the water's flow.

Emoak shares that the game holds deep personal meaning for designer Tobias Sturn, reflecting childhood memories of creekside play with his grandfather. The game is a touching tribute to him.

Roia transcends simple categorization. While challenges exist, the game's essence is relaxation. Players traverse diverse, hand-crafted environments – forests, meadows, villages – guided by a helpful white bird.

Visually, Roia echoes the elegant minimalism of Monument Valley. The experience is further enhanced by a captivating soundtrack composed by Johannes Johannson (also behind Lyxo's score).

Roia is available now on the Google Play Store and App Store for $2.99.
