How it feels

A gentle but tricky physics-based puzzle platformer where you guide a cute water drop through hand-drawn rooms, shifting between liquid, solid, and gas forms.

What players say

Players describe Drop Alive as a cute but punishing platformer where you switch between water, steam and ice. It is short (about 90 minutes) but collecting every token can be frustrating, especially in the wind, acid and lightning levels. Players are split: some find the checkpoint-free design rage-inducing, while others call it a rewarding time-killer.
