  • Summary: Experience a brilliantly designed physics-based puzzle/platform game where you must guide a puddle of fluid to its target destination, not by moving the fluid, but by tilting the game world. The player must work with friction, momentum, and the unique properties of each type of fluid and environment to send as much of each puddle past fires, rifts, potential spills and more. But watch out: the fluid motion is realistic! Tilt too quickly and some droplets are left behind; tilt too slowly you may not be able to make certain jumps� or may simply evaporate away.… Expand

    This is a very nice game for the Vita. I won't lie, it's not the most amazing puzzle game I've played, but it is definitely worth looking into. Featuring some rather nice and smooth looking visuals, this physics & water based puzzle game is enjoyable for someone looking to play something more on the mellow side for the Vita.… Expand

    Puddle will satisfy with its visuals and gameplay but occasionally will frustrate you with its gameplay. Its nowhere near as fun or as satisfying as other PSVita titles.… Expand

    game play is far too simple, with the only controls being to tilt the game area left or right, which strangely uses touches on the rear touch pad, where tilting the vita, or even using the triggers would have made more sense.

    the camera movement is annoying as parts of your 'puddle' will get separated and the camera simply moves on making it impossible to recover from.

    the use of the word 'whine' for skipping a level is a little insulting, when it's the game's faults (camera/level design) which makes some levels infuriating to play and near impossible to finish.

    Very little fun to be had! same your and go for mutant space blobs attack if you want a great downloadable vita game    … Expand
