    I like this game because:
    1. It's the best 3rd person platformer i've ever played.(including mario and sonic)
    2. It makes me smile in that same improbable way as World of Goo.
    3. Super-Duper sound design.

    Though occasionally thoroughly frustrating and confusing, i-Fluid's truly ingenious concept and sound gameplay mechanics prevent it from becoming dead in the water.

    This game is a perfect example of how important skilled level designers are. The concept is great: you have to guide a drop of water through realistic household environments. The problems start right after the tutorial though with abysmal level design, grating French rap, trial-and-error gameplay, and eventually mindboggling puzzles (why do I need a calculator + pen & paper for aThis game is a perfect example of how important skilled level designers are. The concept is great: you have to guide a drop of water through realistic household environments. The problems start right after the tutorial though with abysmal level design, grating French rap, trial-and-error gameplay, and eventually mindboggling puzzles (why do I need a calculator + pen & paper for a physics-based platformer?).

    There are plenty of other indie platformers, physics-based puzzle games, and eye candy generators that are 10x better on steam. Don't bother with this.    … Expand

    This game is a very unique puzzle game where you control a droplet of water and must move around this giant world. With a decent physics engine and some innovative puzzles, I would recommend this game to fans of the genre.

    Neat graphics and physics. I appreciate that game makers are experimenting more with gaming concepts. However, I find this game to be pretty dry (no pun intended) and unexciting. There's just not alot of 'character' to your water droplet; and saltine crackers and notebook paper and potato chips just don't really make good antagonists / hazards.

    The game is quite old now, 1 decade.
    Still, I remember every moment from it.It looked amazing, and the gameplay was cool as hell.
    The level design could be better.
    Even tho, it was revolutionary. There never was anything quite like it.
    Giving it a 10, even tho I'd give it a 9, cuz some guy gave it a 2 only down there.

    An ingenious concept and fun to play but not without its faults.
