Our take on Ruya
Its defining detail is the combination of matching puzzles with flower decoration: Ruya can be adorned during each level, then the flowers are shaken off when the level ends.
What is Ruya?
Ruya is a minimalist matching game set within dreamlike realms.
It offers 64 handcrafted challenges spread across 8 surreal landscapes. Players manipulate charming figures by moving and releasing them to solve puzzles and reveal fragments of Ruya’s memories. Flowers may adorn Ruya during a stage before being shaken away when it ends. Illustrated scenes follow her spiritual journey alongside the puzzles. The soundscape features rain, snow descending, and wind whistles, with binaural beats that can be adjusted. Matching, decoration, audio, colour pairings, and dreamlike settings form the game’s tranquil structure.
