    Control quibbles aside, Fluidity is a wonderful game. With its clever, Metroid-like level design and novel premise, it is one of the top WiiWare games in recent memory. If you can tolerate some persnickety controls, then you should hop on the Wii Shop Channel and buy Fluidity right now.

    A cracking idea done almost flawlessly. Tied with World Of Goo as WiiWare's best.

    The water physics are top-notch and, in combination with the various creative puzzles and obstacles, provide a healthy dose of challenge, though some players may feel put off by late-game difficulty spike. It's clever, at times calming then nerve-wracking, and all around fun.

    Sublime level design, a charming art style, and heaps of hidden content make this an amazing puzzle platformer.

    Fluidity is interesting and fun, though it will tax you in its later areas.

    Fluidity is a game that's just plain fun. The puzzles aren't too difficult and absolutely gratifying to solve.

    Recently, Nintendo released a handful of free WiiWare demos of various games, so I gave a few of them a try. Wow, this game has me smilingRecently, Nintendo released a handful of free WiiWare demos of various games, so I gave a few of them a try. Wow, this game has me smiling from ear-to-ear the entire time. It's one of those puzzle games that takes good advantage of the WiiMote's motion sensing ability. In the game, you act as a puddle/pool of water that must navigate perils such as sand and hot lava and goop "fire" slugs. But as you progress thru the levels you obtain special abilities that allow you to pool yourself, or turn into a brick of ice to get thru tricky areas. The physics of the game is really fun, if only slightly un-realistic. But it's a game, not a physics simulation, right? Anyway, it costs 1200 wii credits and is a veritable bargain considering how fun it is.… Expand

    This game is outstanding! The controls are great, and once you learn how to flick the remote, you get such precision its fantastic! ZoomingThis game is outstanding! The controls are great, and once you learn how to flick the remote, you get such precision its fantastic! Zooming about as Ice and smashing through walls! Exploding water over obstacles, Zapping evil goop with lightning! I love it!
    There's some amazing mini games built into the levels too! Pinball, helping a little action hero, even controlling a fire engine and a monorail!

    Truly a superb game! I'll be playing this all over Christmas!

    Totally under priced at 1200 WiiWare points too! This should have been a Disc game!!    … Expand

    Who would have thought to create a game where water is the protagonist? Well someone did and created one of the shining diamonds to be foundWho would have thought to create a game where water is the protagonist? Well someone did and created one of the shining diamonds to be found in Nintendo's Wii Ware service on Wii. The main character is versatile and depends on your control to maneuver through enjoyable puzzles within every room you visit. It may start of simple but the challenge picks on rather quickly.… Expand

Once you start getting more and more powers, the game opens up so much more. Some of the controls later on get a little irritating at times (the only reason I didn't give a perfect score), but for the most part they're great. A fun game for kids, and enough of a challenge for the kids at heart, especially if trying to get all the rainbow bits, puzzle pieces, and flowers! A must-have for puzzle fans. Eagerly awaiting a sequel!… Expand
