I began designing the game from a fluid simulator that I had already started making for A Snoot’s Adventure. And in the evening, I played a little game on my Gameboy Advance named Eggo Mania. A Tetris-like game where you play as an egg and try to build towers to the top before your opponent, so as not to drown in rising water. So, I had the idea, what if this game was 3D, and instead of trying to escape the water, the player was trying to contain it? Thus, the concept for QuaQua was born. I began to simplify the physics controller I had made for A Snoot’s Adventure, into becoming the perfect controller for this little duck. Making them nimble, fluid and fun. From here, the game started to write itself.

During development, and after, many who played the game, likened it to Wetrix. A 3D puzzle video game developed by Zed Two. Past its initial concept, QuaQua became heavily inspired by Wetrix , and the focus of development became to innovate on that initial concept.

Though it was not initially intentional, you could call QuaQua an accidental spiritual successor to Wetrix, with a strong focus on coop and head-to-head game-play.

Other fans have also likened this concept to Tetris, only cuter, with soothing graphics and high addiction!
