About
Use your color changing staff to solve challenging puzzles. Carry the lessons you learn from each puzzle throughout the game.
Unlock new areas of the hub world and gain access to new puzzle mechanics! You'll learn to use the color changers, teleporters, circuits and more.
Some inhabitants want to help you solve the puzzles! Some would rather you left the puzzles alone.
You can undo any mistake with the press of a button, and you can rewind, pause, or fast-forward time to suit your needs. Way of Rhea has hard puzzles, but forgiving mechanics--no combat or platforming challenges here.
The difficulty builds over time. Use everything you've learned to beat the challenging end game!

I test every build on Steam Deck!
The game is currently letter-boxed on non 16:9 aspect ratio monitors. It's tricky to get this right for a 2D game--if we just allow arbitrary aspect ratios, then the camera will point outside the level bounds, or reveal secrets or puzzle elements you're not supposed to see yet.
I'm not super happy about that. If the game does well enough I may be able to create a patch down the line where I do a pass over each puzzle and make custom camera frames for a few more common aspect ratios, but I can't make any promises right now!

I loved this puzzle game. All the characters like shrew and Rhea are so adorable. The animation and noises they make are very cute. The worlds are also challenging making the game worth while. I also love the music and the controls are easy to learn. I definitely recommend giving this game a try.
I'm really enjoying Way of Rhea so far! I've almost made it through all the single mechanic puzzles and I'm looking forward to the dual and triple mechanic ones. The game reminds me quite a bit of Braid: high level of polish, simple but challenging puzzle mechanics, easy rewinding to retry/correct mistakes, and a cute story that's drawing me in (though remains to be seen if it will play with my emotions at the end). Definitely worth giving a try if you like puzzle games!

Interesting puzzle platformer with some timing elements. Unique graphics and I personally like the idea of getting stuck in a puzzle when you do something wrong - the undo button helps! Difficulty is challenging - feels like you dont have a too long drawn out introduction of new mechanics. I definitely prefer it this way. A thing i wouldve liked to know in the beginning that speed 1 is a pause and on input you move again with speed 2- in the beginning you don't really need it only when you are at the snow crab levels it is nice sometimes take an overlook over a puzzle at the start and undo button pauses for like 2 seconds and then resumes at normal speed. Finding the secrets took me some time since one was not where I expected it to be and I tried to get it from other levels and didn't look at the right place - since I did that one before I knew what I was looking for. Overall you get around 3-4 hours of puzzle gameplay. Enjoyed my time and definitely recommend it.
I loved the puzzles, really challenging but possible to work out.
The characters are pretty cute but the puzzles get really old really fast.
A puzzle game about using colored staves/orbs to open matching colored gates. Best puzzles have to be any with the crab! Figuring out how to guide the crab through a level always felt satisfying. The option to fast forward is great, as I did not have to spend time waiting for characters to get to their destination. Music is good too.
Great game with challenging and innovative puzzles. I still have a fair bit more to do, but I'm enjoying it a lot so far.
I appreciate the commitment to academic integrity.
I recently finished playing Way of Rhea, and have to say that I really liked the game. The puzzles initially start off being pretty straightforward, but then they really start to increase in difficulty, requiring clever solutions to complete. I would definitely recommend Way of Rhea to other people especially those that are looking for a puzzle game that does skip out on challenging puzzles.
Way of Rhea is a delightful puzzle game with gorgeous art and creative puzzles that grow increasingly difficult as you progress through the game. It takes a few levels to get used to the fast forward and undo buttons, and they become an important part of gameplay to help quickly reason through trickier levels. I think the color-changing game mechanic is quite unique and led to some challenging puzzles near the end of the game. Way of Rhea also has a few secrets hidden in some of the levels that were super fun to find! As a fan of puzzle games, this game is an excellent addition to the genre and I would highly recommend the game to others.
