Droplitz (XBLA)

Droplitz is a puzzle game revolving around a set of mis-matched pipes, which you use to create paths from the top of the screen to the bottom. While you’re working, little bits of liquid - the titular "Droplitz" - will be falling, and you use these paths to make sure the Droplitz don’t hit a dead end. Losing a few is okay, but if too many fail to reach their destination, it’s game over. The game is easy to learn, since you only use the d-pad or one analog stick plus four buttons; one to fast-forward the water flow, two to rotate, and one to use power-ups in certain modes. But the game gets increasingly hard as you go along, to the point where later stages and modes really can’t qualify as a ’casual game.’ Whether that’s good or bad is subjective, I admit. |
| Our Rating for Droplitz (XBLA) | |
| 7.5 | Replay Classic mode is well paced and will definitely keep you coming back for more, and there are four modes you can potentially play. |
| 7.5 | Graphics Very simple in layout, but the color themes are well done and it’s easy to understand the game. |
| 7.5 | Sound Subtle but effective, it’s pretty relaxing and will draw you into the experience. |
| 6.0 | Gameplay The basic idea of arranging pipes is well designed and easy to learn. Classic mode is fun, but it’s frustrating having a game where I can’t access half its content because unlocking it is so difficult. |
| 0.1 | Multiplayer/Online Content Not applicable; there are Leaderboards, but no true multiplayer. |

Overall A decent puzzle game, but it’s definitely very hard. |
