Splish splash!
Puddle, a challenging puzzler based around the physics of fluids and featuring nearly 50 cleverly designed levels, is available 60% off on GOG.com for Windows and Mac OS X. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours!
Physics-based puzzle games are aplenty these days. Some of them require you to sling objects at other objects. Some want you to cut things to drop other things on top of yet another thing. Yup, there's plenty of stuff to toy around with. But those are mostly solid objects. What's up with that? Wouldn't things be much more interesting if the object you try to control wasn't solid at all? Over 70% Earth is covered in fluid. Even we are composed of fluid in over 60%! Water is life! Water is fun! So, why is it so neglected in puzzle game design? Luckily, we have games like Puddle to correct that mistake.
Puddle challenges you with a nice selection of clever stages (including the GOG-exclusive, PC-only pixel level), with many different themes, types of fluids and goals. The early version of the game won the Independent Games Festival 2010 design award and since then evolved into a fully-fledged brain-twister with appealing, colorful graphics and innovative gameplay. If you're a puzzle fan in search of a new, original challenge, you simply cannot afford to miss this one!
Are you ready to get wet? Step into the Puddle, for only $3.99 until Thursday, January 31, at 10:59AM GMT.
