About MONOWAVE

MONOWAVE is the complete standalone puzzle adventure about Mono, a newborn Guardian spirit charged with bringing Happiness, Sorrow, Anger and Anxiety back into balance. The four Emotions have scattered after their shards vanished from the Prism Tree, leaving its world in disorder.

Each Emotion changes movement. Happiness provides a higher jump, Sorrow lets Mono melt through narrow gaps, Anger enables wall-jumps, and Anxiety heightens the ability to avoid threats and cross difficult ground. Sharing these states with nearby spirits also changes their behaviour, turning empathy into a tool for environmental puzzles.

The journey crosses four realms shaped by their ruling Emotion, from fog-covered jungle paths to fiery caverns. Eccentric inhabitants react to Mono’s powers, while a scratch-art-inspired visual style and an original soundtrack give the world its fairytale character.

Play is built around reading a colourful 2D scene, choosing the useful emotional power and combining platform movement with puzzle solving. The entire journey works for one player, while a second person can join the local co-op mode or connect through Remote Play Together.

Key Features

  • Four emotional powers: Jump with Happiness, melt through tight passages with Sorrow, wall-jump through Anger and use Anxiety to navigate danger.
  • Empathy-driven puzzles: Pass emotions to spirits so their changed behaviour opens another way through an obstacle.
  • Four altered realms: Travel across distinct ecosystems transformed by Happiness, Sorrow, Anger and Anxiety.
  • Solo and two-player play: Complete the adventure alone or use local two-player co-op; Remote Play Together permits a friend to join online.
  • Shared-screen controller rule: Two-player mode requires at least one controller.
  • Hand-drawn identity: Explore a dark backdrop filled with bright, scratch-like characters, platforms and emotion effects.

Why Buy This Game?

MONOWAVE suits puzzle-platform players who want movement and problem solving to share one central idea. The four emotional states affect both Mono and surrounding spirits, so a route may depend on changing behaviour as much as making the next jump. Its solo journey also accommodates a second player without making co-op mandatory.
