Reason

My first impression of this game was its “overall perfection.”
Many other games take the theme sound as “water sounds," but this game goes beyond that. The sounds are divided into three categories: the “sound of rain,” the “sound of acid,” and the “sound of a river,” each of which has its own gimmick included in the action puzzle.
Furthermore, the concept was carefully and clearly explained in a tutorial.
Most importantly, I was amazed at how the graphics, UI, and actions came together in one direction to build its own unique worldview.
Particularly in the graphics and UI, the game is not only pretty but also easy to understand. The main character “Redio” is naturally cute, and the currently selected sound is visually displayed at the top of the screen (more like a radio).
On the other hand, it was a little too “organized” as an action puzzler, and I wish the game had a little more originality and novelty, but there is no doubt that this is a fun and exciting game to play. Congratulation for the award.

Work Introdution

The sounds of the theme are captured as "the sound of rain falling," "the sound of acid dissolution” and "the sound of a river flowing" in this game.
A puzzle action game where a player aims at escaping from a factory by controlling the radio-cassette-type hero “Redio,” who emits mysterious sounds.
Redio emits three sounds: “the sound of rain,” “the sound of acid dissolution,” and “the sound of a river flowing.”
“The sound of rain” was applied to an obstacle block to fall to use as a foothold. At one moment, “the sound of acid” was applied to a block to melt down, and at the next moment, “the sound of river” was applied to a block to move from side to side. The point is that each sound has its own unique gimmick.
This is an attractive game that beautifully expresses the original worldview of Redio by setting “Redio’s” charming character, and incorporating a radio-cassette style into a currently selected sound.
