WaveTiles is a Greek couch co-op puzzle platformer game, developed and published by WhoCares Games, exclusively designed for two players. The game was released on Steam at August 13 2021.[1] for Windows. The level-based game revolves around the puzzle-platformer genre. As a core mechanic, players utilize colored energy waves to activate corresponding tiles, creating paths to navigate through each level.

Gameplay

edit

There are two unique characters in the game: the Explorer and the Spirit. The goal of each level is for the Explorer to reach the end of the platforms without falling into the void. The Spirit has a supportive/enabling role, trying to make sure that the Explorer is able to step on the necessary tiles in order to finish the level[2]. As the levels progress, features such as traps, power-ups, special or moving tiles and more start appearing, testing the players' individual skill and communication[3]

Development

Background

edit

The game's initial concept was developed during the Global Game Jam in 2017. Christos "Xrs" Karpousis, Stratos Giannatsis, Yiannis Tzavaras, and Spyros Ntokas, formed a small team to participate in the event which led to the creation of the WaveTiles prototype[4]

Funding

edit

The project was funded through a Kickstarter campaign. Running from April 17 2021, to May 17 2021, the campaign successfully garnered the targeted funding over the 30-day period[5]
