Go With the Flow: An Engaging Water-Puzzle Adventure

Shape the course of a rambling river in this cozy and captivating water-themed adventure game.

Don’t go chasing waterfalls—just create your own in the serene puzzle game Roia. This innovative gaming experience invites players to guide a stream of water down a towering mountain, utilizing taps and swipes to carve out gullies and craft stunning cascading falls. Channel the flowing water through a vibrant town at the base of the mountain until it reaches the vast sea—then sit back and bask in the sense of accomplishment.

What we love: Making the earth move in Roia. Whether you’re skillfully diverting the flow around scenic campsites or flooding picturesque fields to make colorful flowers bloom, it's an exhilarating experience reshaping a massive mountain at will. Are you able to navigate the water around a bustling highway without washing away any hapless motorists?

Quick tip: Keep an eye on your bird companion for valuable clues on where to guide the flow of water. If your feathered friend is flying downward, you’re on the right track. Once it lands, direct the stream past the bird’s perch until it chirps and takes off again, helping you progress in the game.

Meet the creators: Austria-based game designers Anna Mitterer and Tobias Sturn are a couple passionate about creating engaging games together; their latest project, Roia, was inspired by their children's love of building canals in a sandbox and filling them with water. Sturn's childhood memories of playing with wooden waterwheels crafted by his grandfather deeply influenced this game. The dedication of Roia is a heartfelt tribute to his grandfather, who passed away during the game's development.
