Aquaria: Day of the Aquarius
The goal of the game is to guide Aquaria from day to day, to gather water from jars placed along the East and Westward directions. You change direction of movement by bumping into the jars.
It is a tap-to-jump game, but is in no way simplistic. It plays as a spontaneous type of puzzle – finding a way to get to all the jars strategically without running out of water, and finding a way to optimize the jars to go where you intend to.
The game gives you that familiar I-almost-had-it-let-me-try-just-one-last-time sensation, but not too much to be stressful. There is just enough level of challenge to keep it entertaining.
One extra note, the music and sound effects are great – not at all overwhelming, no need to mute it if you are playing in a public place.
