Puddle - PC Game Review
Puddle is a physics-based puzzle game. It mostly revolves about rotating your world so that as much liquid as possible reaches the exit.
Water-based physics games are nothing new. I remember seeing my first in the early 90s. It was clearly a reflection of Lemmings, and you had a bunch of pieces that you could use to make the water reach the exit (obviously the water physics was quite simplistic - the drops mostly behaved as spheres). That was fun.
Puddle isn't. The simplistic puzzle scheme mostly involves rotating to get past heat traps (that evaporate your water), jumping past obstacles and pushing switches. The graphics, physics, sound and music are adequate, but I find the gameplay to be no fun.
Not recommended.
