[/list] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3743394630 [b]General thoughts[/b] I think Puddle is a good, interesting game. I wouldn't say it's fun, certainly not on its highest punishing difficulty, but nevertheless it delivered a unique gaming experience with various mechanics. The core play is about moving through obstacles, balancing drops and avoiding hazards, while maintaining your mass as high as possible. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3745878684 [b]You've Come a Long Way, Water[/b] It's not just water you get to navigate. There's a slow, sticky goo (sewers level). A floating jelly nugget (space level). Fast ink (paper level) and white stuff causing burps (I hope it was milk...). And more variants to play as! [u]Each liquid has different properties[/u]. Each level, then, has different hazards you must consider. I think my favourite is moving lava and dodging freeze outbursts. Keep lava idle too long and it assumes a hardened form, which you then u…

LOVEEEE THIS GAMEEEEE NNGGHHHHHHUHHHH BUYYYY ITTTTTTTTT IT ISS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Puddle is an inventive and quietly captivating physics-based puzzle game that transforms a simple concept into an experience filled with tension, experimentation, and surprising elegance. Developed and published by Neko Entertainment, it shifts away from character-driven platforming and instead places the player in control of something much more fluid and unpredictable: a puddle of liquid. The game’s core idea is deceptively minimalist — tilt the environment left or right to guide your chosen liquid safely to the exit — yet this simplicity becomes the foundation for a continually evolving set of challenges that demand careful timing, observation, and adaptability. Rather than directly manipulating droplets or issuing complex commands, the player influences the world itself. Each level becomes a physics playground where gravity, momentum, viscosity, temperature, and environmental hazards interact in ways that feel both intuitive and chaotic. The liquid you guide is subject to the properties of its material: water flows with familiar curves, oil glides with slippery speed, molten metal moves heavily and cools into solid clumps, and volatile substances like nitroglycerin turn the gen…

i was the water the entire time

This game is in essence a momentum-based platformer akin to the classic Sonic games while using real-world concepts and physics to innovate on the formula. The amount of liquid you have being a sort of health meter is simple yet ingenious -- the best kind of design. This core gameplay manages to remain engaging throughout the game's forty-eight levels, and to emphasize how fluid (pun intended) the movement of the liquid is, the game greatly encourages you to go fast in these levels. While some of the more gimmicky parts can be a bit frustrating at first, they also support speedy play in their own ways. Great little game overall, and while I feel it doesn't get enough recognition, I am glad people continue to review it on Steam to this day.

A fun physics puzzle game to do with tilting and speed. Got this in a bundle years ago so well worth it. Nice little twists every time the rules change (or your liquid should i say) I haven't given up yet....I don't think.
