Puddle

  7.0

  With its solid physics-based core and seemingly never-ending stream of new ideas, Puddle is a perfectly competent puzzler. There are certainly frustrations to be had, but the variety is often enough to gloss over these issues. A bit more visual and auditory polish might have elevated the experience, but as it stands, the title is a worthy addition to the ubiquitous genre.

  And while Puddle may have launched on nearly every platform this side of the generation first... it manages to finally land on iOS *still* leagues better than most of the competition. Don’t step-over this Puddle, jump in.

  If you’re a real enthusiast of tiny bodies of water and other types of liquid, then by all means, you should give this one a try. But if it’s a quality physics-based puzzle experience with an actual sense of purpose and riveting gameplay that you’re after, then Puddle is more likely to make a tiny PLOP! instead of a triumphant splash.

  8.0

  Puddle isn't for the faint-hearted, given its steadily increasing difficulty curve (even despite the presence of some skip power-ups). Underneath that simple structure, however, is a quite captivating experience, albeit one that will take a while for most average players to reach the conclusion of. Something that's no bad thing at all.

  6.8

  In the burgeoning sub-genre of physics-based, liquid platformers, Puddle is a game that only hits a little more than it misses. The game has some neat ideas, but it never fully realizes them, only offering a taste of what could have been something more expansive and interesting.

  8.0

  The entire game progresses in this contraption-like manner, adding a sprinkling of adventure to the proceedings. It all feels so aptly fluid, that the few instances where the levels don't gel together are jarring. It's over fast: aside from a laboratory mode that lets you tinker with liquids for as long as you please, Puddle is a flash-flood affair. Nevertheless, there are torrents of fun to be had while it lasts.
