Konami Unveils North America Release Dates for Puddle
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today unveiled new
screenshots and North American launch dates for Puddle, coming
to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft on January 25th and
PlayStation®Network for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment
system on January 31st. The new screenshots feature peeks at the
variety of courses available for play. Players must dodge heat
beams and rays of electric current, handle a blob of radioactive
fluid with care, guide a virtual puddle of rocket fuel through a
hand drawn blueprint, follow a sip of water as it makes its way
through a human body, and much more! Click

What began as a student project that won a Student Showcase
prize at Independent Gaming Festival at the Game Developer's
Conference 2010, is now a full-fledged downloadable game like
nothing players have experienced before. In Puddle, gamers guide
puddles of fluid through a variety of novel, themed environments
(the human body, a garden, a foundry, and more). But to do so,
they must tilt the environment, balancing each fluid's unique
properties with the environmental factors of gravity, friction,
and each course's obstacles. With players never being able to
see the entire level from the start, Puddle will offer plenty of
unexpected twists, keeping players alert and ready for the next
challenge waiting for them around the corner. 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.
