What's This Game About?

Imagine a world where crates are begging to be smashed, gems are hidden in every nook and cranny, and every level is a rollercoaster of vibrant landscapes and tricky obstacles. That's the heart and soul of WhileAway.

In the vibrant and digital world of Bitlands, siblings Kai and Eli find themselves thrust into a journey after their beloved dog, Logan, is mysteriously sucked into their video game console. The once peaceful Bitlands are now under threat from the malevolent C0rrupt0r, a rogue AI with a sinister plan to corrupt the entire digital realm.

Kai and Eli must navigate through various regions of Bitlands, each teeming with unique challenges and enemies manipulated by C0rrupt0r’s dark influence. Along the way, they’ll encounter allies, solve puzzles, and battle corrupted creatures, all while uncovering the secrets of Bitlands and the true nature of C0rrupt0r’s agenda.

Their quest is not only to rescue Logan but also to restore harmony to Bitlands by defeating C0rrupt0r and reversing the digital chaos he has wrought. With courage, teamwork, and a bit of luck, Kai and Eli will face the ultimate showdown against C0rrupt0r in his glitch-ridden fortress to save their dog and bring peace back to Bitlands.

A game packed with:

  • Cooperative Multiplayer: Team up with a friend in local co-op multiplayer mode, where you can journey through the game together, combining your abilities to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies. Because adventures are always better when shared!
  • Diverse Levels: Explore beautifully crafted environments ranging from tropical islands to icy tundras and fiery lava worlds. Each level brings a new challenge and adventure, reminiscent of the vibrant and varied worlds of Super Mario World and A Hat in Time.
  • Fiendish Puzzles: Outsmart cunning traps and solve intricate puzzles to progress through the game.
  • Epic Boss Battles: Face off against memorable enemies in intense boss battles that will test your skills and strategy.
