“All his games are really atmospheric, with really clever and tight puzzles. “In contrast, Nifflas works to perfection,” she says. But we were missing the craftsmanship because we kept on doing a lot of experiments.” “We’re really like jam artists, we really do it quick, to test and see if the gameplay works. KnapNok is more into innovative social game experiences,” says Dimovska. “We have two different approaches that worked really well for this title. KnapNok partnered with fellow Copenhagen-based developer Nifflas’ Games (Nicklas Nygren) – creator of Kyntt Underground – and they worked together to design a game that would use the Wii U Gamepad in new and inventive ways. “After four years of existence we decided that we knew a lot and we’d experimented with a lot of social and gesture recognition gameplay, but we had never really had a big success, and couldn’t publish a really good game by ourselves,” says Dimovska. KnapNok previously released the bizarre – and often hilarious – Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party to Nintendo’s home console in 2013 and a collaborative painting app to the Wii in 2011. The studio is well-known for its use of novel interfaces in games that often eschew traditional controllers. “So we did a little puzzle simulation spaceship game where you are controlling it with the Gamepad and thumbsticks but – since it’s like a simulation – we wanted to simulate a spaceship computer on the screen so it’s part of the fiction.” We were impressed by the platform and we thought it was not used by developers to the potential it had.” “We intentionally wanted to make something different. “One of the main reasons it’s an award-winning and well-received game is that it really fits the Wii U and it was designed for the Wii U,” says Dimovska.

Affordable Space Adventures is notable for being one of the few Wii U games that puts the console’s unique controller right at the core of its design.
