So many great Web games are founded on the simplest of design concepts, and Fluid is one of them. Within a gently floating and bubbling environment, the goal is to simply click and hold the mouse to create a circular fluid that gets bigger the longer you hold the mouse down in order to fill the container to at least 50% of its capacity.

Complicating matters are enemies that roam the container and will burst the fluid if they come in contact with it while it's still expanding.With some deft mouse maneuvering you can dodge the enemies while still growing the fluid for as long as possible before letting it drop, adding another dimension to the gameplay.

There are some neat physics at work here as the formed fluids all jostle against each other, and certain containers even rotate to ratchet up the challenge. Even so, Fluid is never a frantic game – the tranquil tone sees to that.
