Wetrix

Traditional Game from Infogrames, by Zed Two

Puzzle game. The game involves managing land and water on a square 3D isometric landscape. Variously shaped blocks of land (uppers) and amounts of water drop down and you must position them onto the landscape to contain the water, preventing it from flowing off the edge of the landscape. There are also blocks that remove land (downers), fireballs that evaporate water and bombs that destroy land. Too much land causes an earthquake and a water meter monitors the amount of water that has been lost, when it is full the game is over.

The game employs a point system that offers hefty bonuses for creating multiple lakes, deep lakes and for containing large amounts of water for prolonged periods of time. The game offers several options, including a set of tutorials, challenges as well as the open-ended single player game. There is also a two-player mode where success forces your opponent to deal with extra water.
