The premise, in the publisher's words
Dive into Puddle, a game unlike any other where you have to guide a puddle of fluid by tilting the environment to the left or right! Play carefully taking friction, gravity and temperature into account, and by using the unique properties of each type of fluid (water, oil, nitroglycerin, molten lava...) in a range of original environments. Conserve as much fluid as possible when crossing a variety of obstacles such as burning passageways, carnivorous plants and electric currents!

It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 23 achievements to unlock.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2 Ghz Dual Core, 1024 MB RAM and Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT, ATI Radeon 4650, Intel HD Graphics, 512 MB Shader Model 3.
