Gameplay
Gameplay
In Weaving Tides, players take control of a character who rides a dragon. The dragon's tail allows the player to do things like pulling an object, or connecting different parts of the world together. The focus of the game is using these weaving mechanics to interact with the world and solve puzzles. Combat is focused around using the dragons tail and diving beneath the world to stun and defeat enemies. There also are dungeons where the player makes their way through, completing puzzles and fighting enemies and eventually fighting a boss.
Development
Development
The game started development in 2017, after the developers' previous game NIVA, was completed in 2016. The project was funded with 150.000€ by the Vienna Business Agency in 2018. The developers say the game is inspired by games like Bastion, Tearaway and The Legend of Zelda series. On April 30, 2020 a Kickstarter campaign was created, which gathered 301% of its funding goal, resulting in 54.182 €, and a temporarily available free demo was released alongside it. The game was featured in the 2020 Wholesome Direct indie game showcase. The game was originally set to launch in Q4 2020, but was delayed into 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Weaving Tides was featured in Nintendo's Indie World Showcase in April 2021.

Reception
Weaving Tides was released on Steam (PC, Mac) and on Nintendo Switch on May 27, 2021. It received a "Strong" rating on Opencritic. Nintendo World Report enjoyed how the gameplay focused around weaving, and wrote that they were "surprised by just how varied the enemy types were". While enjoying the game's puzzles, TechRaptor felt that the game's pacing was dragged down later "There's also a forced stealth segment in one of the later chapters that, while not difficult, is really slow and not much fun to play".
