Is Puddle worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Puzzle players who enjoy manipulating physics rather than controlling a conventional character
- Players who like managing different liquid behaviors while navigating hazards
- Score-focused players who want leaderboards and medals to compare results
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a character-driven story or a campaign centered on narrative progression
- Players who prefer varied combat or broad action systems over physics-based obstacle puzzles
- Players looking for a multiplayer campaign or cooperative play
Our take on Puddle
Instead of moving a character through a conventional platforming course, play tilts the environment to direct a puddle. The challenge centers on fluid behavior and conserving liquid while navigating obstacles, with normal and extreme modes providing two difficulty settings.
What is Puddle?
Guide a moving puddle through 49 levels by tilting the environment left or right.
Movement depends on gravity, friction, and temperature, and different liquids—including water, oil, nitroglycerin, and molten lava—have distinct properties. The route crosses obstacles such as burning passages, carnivorous plants, and electric currents, while play rewards conserving fluid. Normal and extreme difficulty modes are available. A leaderboard displays player scores, and medals can be compared with friends. Laboratory mode offers objects, backgrounds, and liquids to unlock. The game supports Bluetooth and USB controllers.
