About Wattam
Wattam is a whimsical adventure game developed by Funomena and published by Annapurna Interactive. Released on December 17, 2019, it blends playful physics and colorful chaos across PlayStation 4 and PC. The game follows the Mayor, who guides a cast of quirky characters, like Sushi, Flower, and Poop, to rebuild their fractured world by stacking and linking them into creative structures. Explosions aren’t just destructive here; they’re tools to propel the world’s fragments back together. The game leans into its absurd charm, offering a lighthearted alternative to heavier narratives. Think of it as Katamari Damacy for the modern era: messy, inventive, and packed with character.
Gameplay
Wattam revolves around manipulating a roster of 140+ characters, each with distinct movement and interaction styles. You’ll string together Sushi to cling to surfaces, use Cloud to float, or link Poop for heavy impacts. Sessions involve trial-and-error experimentation: building precarious towers to reach distant islands or crafting chains to create shockwaves that launch objects. The physics engine is forgiving yet precise, rewarding curiosity over skill. Multiplayer modes let up to four players collaborate or compete, adding chaotic fun. Controls are simple, think drag-and-drop, prioritizing accessibility. The pace is relaxed, with no timers or combat. Success means finding joy in the game’s tactile, ever-shifting world.
What Players Think
Wattam holds an IGDB score of 77.3/100 based on 14 ratings. Community feedback highlights its creativity and family-friendly vibe but notes it may feel too slow for some. Average playtime clocks in at 8, 10 hours, with 23% of players reporting 100% completion. Moods are overwhelmingly cheerful, with players praising the “nonsensical charm” and “stress-free gameplay.” Critics on Destructoid called it “a playground for imagination,” while PC Gamer found it “quaint but underwhelming.” The game’s lack of traditional goals divides opinions, some see it as meditative, others as aimless. Achievement completion rates are high (82% average), though none are particularly challenging.
PlayPile's Take
Wattam is a niche pick for fans of experimental, low-pressure creativity. Its strength lies in its goofy, tactile design, making it ideal for casual co-op sessions or solo tinkering. At its peak price of $29.99, it’s affordable but doesn’t justify a purchase for players seeking structured challenges. The 28 achievements add minor replayability but rarely feel essential. This is a game best experienced without expectations, perfect for short bursts of whimsy, but not a must-play for everyone. If you loved the chaotic joy of games like Osmo, Wattam will scratch a similar itch.
