| Aquaria. Bit Blot, 2006 |
Storytelling meets games in this action oriented, 2D side-scrolling game.
As Naija, an isolated mer-creature, you must uncover your story through magical combat and exploration of the world around you.
Using a fluid mouse control system, you swim through game areas of vibrant hand-drawn 'storybook-style' graphics.
