About Vessel

✦ AI summary

Guide inventor Arkwright through a world of liquid-based puzzles by commanding shape-shifting creatures made of simulated fluids like water, lava, and glowing goo, each with unique properties that determine how they interact with the environment. Vessel stands out with its physics-driven gameplay where every puzzle is built entirely around realistic liquid simulation, combined with a haunting electronic soundtrack by Jon Hopkins and a striking 2D/3D hybrid art style.

Living liquid machines have overrun a world of unstoppable progress and their inventor must stop the chaos in this game about a man with the power to bring ordinary matter to life!

Cool indie 2D liquid puzzle game. Vessel 7/10 Heisen
6 found this helpful
Recommended Sep 17, 2026
The liquid physics is fun. The graphics and music are beautiful. The controls are simple, but the different liquid interactions feels abundant. You can mix different liquids on a single fluro to make them look different, like a green smoky-looking fluro. Many puzzles feel complex too, as if you're doing a scientific simulation.
Not recommended Aug 29, 2026
Bad controls and a weird bug where my character was permanently locked looking in one direction.
Recommended Jul 5, 2026
Game Control: 7/10 - It feels like some of the hit boxes are a bit off in a few places and control is a bit floaty so not as precise as other platformers. Graphics: 6/10 - Dark and moody in places. Lots of water to flow in places. Gameplay: 8/10 - Good puzzles that will take a bit of time to figure out. Enjoyable use of the floros.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
