MONOWAVE Launches On Steam And Switch With Emotion-Switching Puzzle Action

Phoenixx released MONOWAVE, a 2D puzzle action game by South Korea's Studio BBB, for PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. Players control Mono, a guardian spirit, and switch between four emotions: happiness gives a high jump, sadness shrinks the body to pass narrow paths, anger enables wall kicks, and anxiety allows cautious movement to avoid traps. A 10 percent launch discount applies on each store, and the game is playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026.

The four emotions map to distinct movement options rather than combat abilities. Happiness lifts Mono into a high jump, sadness shrinks the body enough to pass narrow paths, anger drives wall kicks and aggressive movement, and anxiety supports cautious movement around traps. Mono's song spreads an emotion to nearby companions, who then act on their own traits, breathing fire to melt ice or tossing Mono into the air. The art mixes single-stroke linework with neon colors across worlds built around each emotion. A 10 percent launch discount runs on each store.
