Andrew N from Negative World writes: "The original Fluidity, from British developer Curve Studios, came out in North America as an exclusive on the WiiWare service at the end of 2010, making it the perfect little game to knock out quickly over my holiday break; or so I thought at the time. The game ended up surprising me in many ways, taking the basic concept of controlling a water in its various forms and churning out a long, deep, and fully engaging physics-based adventure / platformer that had a lot in common with Super Metroid. It took me well over 20 hours to finish the game to my satisfaction. I would have reviewed Fluidity myself, but Guillaume beat me to it, and I find it difficult to disagree with anything that he said.
But this isn’t a review of Fluidity, this is a review of its sequel, Fluidity: Spin Cycle (also from Curve Studios), which takes the basic concept of the console game and modifies it to create a brand new handheld sequel on the 3DS. Does it live up to the brilliant original?"
Gi - Fluidity: Spin Cycle developed by Cycle Studios and published by Nintendo came out on Dec 27, 2012 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS eShop, and serves as the sequel to Fluidity (originally for the Wii via WiiWare). Taking up where Fluidity left off, Fluidity: Spin Cycle has the player in control of a blob of water that is in actuality a “water spirit”, and once again accomplishes the amazing task of getting gamers to actually care about water. The game is one of the puzzle genre and continues the unique approach of its predecessor by taking advantage of the motion sensing capabilities of its chosen console to control the water spirit as it attempts to free the captured rainbow sprites of the game.
Mini Fortress is late to the party with their Fluidity: Spin Cycle review. However, the game impressed so much, a review had to be published.
"Back in 2010, Curve Studios developed a game under the supervision of Nintendo known as Fluidity (or Hydroventure for our PAL pals). The game released on WiiWare, and it involved tilting the Wii Remote to guide a pool of water through a multitude of cleverly designed areas. Two years later and Curve Studios returned to the franchise, this time with a release on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Fluidity: Spin Cycle is the sequel, and I couldn't be happier to see the little droplet of water that could return to create a new franchise for Nintendo. Is Fluidity's sequel for Nintendo 3DS one that you'll want to take out for a spin?"
