One more day comes the confirmation of a new title for the Nintendo hybrid console. Is about Happy style , a very peculiar game that is labeled a «application to improve mood«,«relaxing and energetic game" and "something special related to hacking«.
Happy Style Announcement: A game in a new genre called "Werewolf." Happy Style will improve mood, relieve stress and … needs to be hacked.
Happy Style is an application to improve daily mood, a relaxing and energetic game, as well as something special related to the hacking of a program. These three elements are closely connected and all together form an entirely new genre called "Werewolf" (more on this below).
This project is the first piece in the World of Unique Views universe. I worked hard on this game for about 4 years, trying to create a unique and useful program, immersing myself in Development Hell.
I hope you like it! Enjoy reading and playing! 🙂
★ On the one hand, Happy Style is a daily application, ready to please with a warm word, inspire with a wise quote and remind the user of their dreams and achievements.
★ But Happy Style is also a relaxing and energetic game that uses the player's warm words, dreams, achievements, wisdom and even… complete nonsense. This part includes a story campaign, an arcade mode with great repeatability and additional challenge levels.
★ Another layer is not less important, perhaps it is the most interesting … the way to it is through the _HACKING_ Happy Style in search of the Administrator Room of Eternity lost in time.
The essence of the new genre "Werewolf" is the total transformation of an apparently ordinary game into something completely unexpected with a different meaning and gameplay compared to the original concept.
It is not a simple twist of the plot at the end or the appearance of unpredictable mechanics (like the RTS in the Brutal Legend or two different types of Sonic Unleashed game), but rather a large-scale transformation, both in terms of story like gameplay.
The game and the program are still complete without the "Werewolf", you can easily skip it and enjoy what you see initially, but it is even more interesting to discover something new and surprising.
However, the "Werewolf" is as important as the base in front of him. It combines with other layers and at the same time it looks completely alien.
In Happy Style, the secret part goes hand in hand with piracy and sheds light on … … other details that will undoubtedly become a very healthy kick-off, since, by the way, even the description of the genre has already become .
Without the "Werewolf", Happy Style remains a full-blown joyous game as well as a daily app to improve your mood!
This is a multi-layer program, where you can always, hopefully, find something of your own, close to your heart!
The game (its non-hacking part) is based on relaxing finger movements on the touch screen.
Half of the levels are designed to relieve stress and improve mood. Just move your finger across the screen and you will get warm words, inspiring quotes and reminders of your dreams and achievements! The goal is to relax and enjoy the process.
The action is packed with visuals, your finger pointer takes the shape of one of the many types of fruit available, and it's all accompanied by beautiful music. Several slightly transparent messages appear on the screen in their entirety, and the main message, located at the top, is filled letter by letter in time with the user's movements. Each word seems to be spoken by one of the Happy Style characters – cute animals defending the Yummy Federation.
The idea of such levels arose from a small observation: in moments of nervousness, people often try to distract themselves with something, to find a job aimlessly for their hands. For example, simply flip the pages of the phone screen. I thought it would be interesting to do something with this, to add a little joy to the process.
Other levels – Severe arcade challenges. The path to victory in them is through skill and ingenuity in the fight against the mysterious FoodMemes who decided to take over the Yummy Federation.
Here the correct use of the combination system and skills is given an important place, as well as the reaction speed.
Throughout the campaign, you will discover an amazing story, completely alien and at the same time Your Story.
The gameplay and Happy Style atmosphere are inspired by Geometry Wars, the 3D games of Ninja Gaiden, Forza Horizon, The Stanley Parable and Fruit Ninja. Authors like Isaac Asimov and Greg Egan influenced the story.
Happy Style is the first piece in the new universe, World of Unique Views, which will eventually include many games, books, and projects in other formats. I plan to expand this universe for decades.
A key feature of World of Unique Views is the originality of its pieces: each project must bring something new to its genre or even create new ones. There are no direct sequels.
At the moment its release date has not been confirmed, but we will stay tuned to inform you of it as soon as it is shared.
