Gameplay
Gameplay
The player must guide a puddle of fluid to its target destination by tilting the scene, not by moving the fluid itself. They must work with physics: friction, momentum, and the unique properties of each type of fluid and environment to send as much of each puddle past such obstacles as fires, rifts, spills and others, through environments like pipes, plants, laboratories, a human body, a sewer, a rocket, a foundry and a power station. The experience is physics based, making the fluid motion realistic. The game allows the players to be a liquid like Nitroglycerin, and they need to guide it to a certain point. Nitroglycerin tends to explode, so the players must learn to carefully guide it. The game has 49 levels, 2 difficulties (extreme and normal), leaderboards and medals.
