Game: Puddle

After mopping up on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network last year, the water-based physics platformer Puddle is now looking to cause a big splash on iOS: or at least just make everything slightly damp. In the game, players are put in control of a number of different puddles of liquid, from water to Nitroglycerin, where they have to tilt the world around them to guide each puddle through a challenging platform environment. But while the game earns points for variety and creativity in design, the overwhelming mundaneness of the whole thing begs the question: is it really that much fun to be a puddle?
