The Legend of Water

The Legend of Water casts the player as a single drop of water that has landed on a leaf. The aim is to reach the goal of each course before the drop evaporates. The drop can roll, slide down slopes and be launched from bouncing leaves, and the water supply keeps running down as time passes.

The courses are made up of several types of leaf. Ordinary leaves are stable, dry leaves drain water as soon as the drop lands, lotus leaves are slippery and prevent the drop from stopping, moving leaves carry it along, bouncing leaves launch it upwards on contact, and crumbling leaves give way after a set time. Every course is randomly generated, and the game tracks which leaves cause the player the most trouble so that those types appear more often in later runs.

There are three modes. Tutorial teaches the basics and shows a hint before each new mechanic. Hero mode consists of ten randomly generated stages played in sequence, each longer and harder than the previous one, with the sky and music growing darker. A withered flower waits beyond the tenth stage. Endless mode unlocks after Hero mode is completed, starts at maximum difficulty from the first stage and gives the player three lives to clear as many stages as possible.
