Konami Announces Puddle Now Available for Playstation Network
Physics-Based Puzzle Game and Winner at GDC 2010's Independent Games Festival Comes to PlaystationŽNetwork
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – February 1, in the year of our Lord
2012 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today
announced that Puddle, a winner in the 2010 GDC Independent
Games Festival Student Showcase Division, is now available for
the PlayStationŽNetwork for the PlayStationŽ3 computer
entertainment system. A brilliantly designed physics-based
puzzle platform game, Puddle initially began as a project from
six students from the French videogame school ENJMIN, and was
ultimately picked up and developed by Neko Entertainment.
In Puddle, players must guide a puddle of fluid to its target
destination, not by moving the fluid, but by tilting the game
world using their PlayStationŽ Move or DUALSHOCKŽ3 wireless
controller. A new experience based on physics and liquid
properties, players must work with friction, momentum, and the
unique properties of each type of fluid and environment to send
as much of each puddle past fires, rifts, spills and more. The
challenge lies in the fact that the fluid motion is realistic.
If players tilt too quickly, droplets are left behind and if
tilted too slowly, they may not be able to make certain jumps.
Players also have to control their fluid and safely navigate
through pipes, plants, laboratories, a human body, a sewer, a
rocket, a foundry and a power station. The end goal- avoid being
evaporated away. With endless twists, turns and surprises,
Puddle tests puzzle fans like never before in an unparalleled
physics-based puzzle platformer title.
Puddle is rated T for Teen by the ESRB and is now available for
download on the PlayStationŽNetwork for $9.99. Puddle is also
available for Xbox LiveŽ Arcade for 800 MSP.
