Puddle (2025)

Puddle isn't a game suitable for casual gamers. It's like those very hard Super Mario Maker levels where, if you make even the slightest mistake, you'll never beat those levels on time. I really hoped for an easier mode with checkpoints or no time limit, but Puddle is meant to be difficult. Recommended for those who enjoy precise and hard 2D platformers, or speedrunners.

A short, cute precision platformer, but with a very high level of polish for a small indie game. Sound design and level design are both really quite good. Contains no instructions, really, but you figure out the mechanics as you go along. Some things to note: this is a speedrun-based game (you need to complete the levels within a short time limit), so only try it if that's your thing. I think the timer is *fairly* forgiving, all things considered, though making a couple mistakes can ruin your run depending on how bad the mistakes are. Also, I occasionally had some lag in parts, and very much had lag when attempting to stream it on discord. Overall lag wasn't a problem that impacted my experience, but I do have a high-end laptop, so someone with a lower end PC may be surprised to discover that the pixel art platformer doesn't run very well. I'm not sure how much of an issue that might be. Overall, its a cute little game and I very much enjoyed it. Thank you for making it!

A challenging and fun playthrough. It reminds me classic vertical platformers with an ambient soundtrack unique to each level. The physics make perfect sense and each fall is just punishing enough. I liked it and you can beat it if you're a gamer.

So if you are not fast enough the level just disappears, you die and have to start over. Yeah, no thanks, I'm good.

Excellent little platformer. If you are at all on the fence about this, just unmute the store trailer. Well worth your time =)

This game feels like a work of art, unbelievable. This is through a measly 20 minute play.
