Knotmania

2 THINK

With Knotmania we would like to explore an alien life form: the “Strings”, living entities in a structure of endless rooms. Strings energy runs the structure and to continue the journey one needs to unravel them thus cutting off the energy.

The core mechanic centers around a unique gameplay with an inventive approach to puzzle gaming, where the puzzle itself is a living creature. Each level begins with a twisted knot to tackle – it may be a single String or multiple Strings – and it sleeps awaiting your first touch. At the first gesture made, the strings wake up and begin to twist, embrace, and explore moving in slow graceful movements in zero gravity. They oppose change in order to remain twisted together.
The setting is made by abstract geometry rooms and the 3D soundscape by Fractures Audio immerges the idea of an alien environment

The graphics and music are not simply ornamental. We deliberately chose the minimal black&white theme to match the soothing melody in the background. The music running in the background is perfectly integrated with musical notes played every time you hit a semicircle, making this game both a visual and audio gaming experience.

With nothing but his work clothes on he is left with only his bare hands to tear through the hordes, brutally ripping off their limbs and body parts to utilize them as weapons whilst unlocking new moves which in turn unlock new areas to progress. Ultimately Mr.Rhino has to save a loved one and discover the origin of this madness, annihilating anything that gets in his way…that’s if he can preserve a shred of sanity before getting there!!

The team is passionately producing a game that gives you a dose of nostalgia with good old classic arcade fighting but with tons of creative elaboration, strong art direction with beautifully hand drawn character puppets and textures, wacky bosses, unique level design, a memorable world setting to explore and underneath all the brutality and wackiness; a profound story to tell. The Soundtrack of the game also deserves a special mention as members of the team are avid and experienced musicians, composers and sound engineers. Expect a fabulously remixed album of the soundtrack release with the game!!

SIHEYU4N

We Are Müesli

“SIHEYU4N” is a cooperative action-puzzle game for 1-4 players of all ages and types, conceived as a local multiplayer variation on classic falling-block mechanics.

Inspired by the architectural tradition of “siheyuan” (historical courtyards of Beijing, China), goal of the game is to place the blocks in the correspondent colored slots of the central grid but – as each player controls one area of the game and each area spawns blocks of one color – players have to pass and receive blocks to/from the other ones, talking, sharing a strategy and cooperating together in order to complete the full grid, in a short, abstract, playful reproduction of traditional Chinese sociality.

Developed by We Are Müesli in collaboration with Aran Koning for an upcoming release on PC, Mac, iOS and Android, “SIHEYU4N” has been exhibited in the past few months at Beijing Design Week 2015, Now Play This festival in London and IndieCade Showcase @ E3 2016 in LA.
