One Hundred Ways – это головоломка-стратегия, где игроку предстоит провести шарик от точки А до точки Б, используя доступные инструменты и манипулируя окружающим миром. Задача усложняется ограниченным набором предметов, таких как балки, платформы, переключатели, вентиляторы и другие механизмы, которые необходимо расставить в правильной последовательности и под нужным углом. Геймплей строится на физике: необходимо учитывать гравитацию, инерцию и взаимодействие объектов. Каждый уровень представляет собой уникальную головоломку с множеством возможных решений. Игрок должен экспериментировать, комбинировать различные инструменты и находить оптимальный способ достижения цели. Успех зависит от логического мышления, пространственного воображения и способности адаптироваться к меняющимся условиям.

Secret Mode busted out of the Tencent-owned Sumo Group last year. Ed Blincoe and James Schall elaborate on the funding help that got the publisher Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and why they're betting big on niche titles Back in February 2025, the UK-based Sumo Group – which has been owned by Tencent since 2021 – announced it would be focusing "exclusively on development services for partners." In other words, it would be doubling down on things like co-development, and would no longer be making its own games (the group's previous titles include Crackdown 3 and Sackboy: A Big Adventure). Naturally, when this news was delivered internally in late 2024, staff at the Sumo-owned indie publisher Secret Mode turned to look at each other with raised eyebrows and concerned expressions. "We were in this tricky situation where we didn't fit that, and we didn't really fit what Tencent were looking to do in the West either at that time," recalls Secret Mode CEO Ed Blincoe.
