Just this morning, I told you guys about an insane-looking 3D WiiWare puzzler by Nintendo. Now I hear about Fluidity, another Nintendo-published puzzler. Nintendo be stepping up its WiiWare game!
You tilt the world to pool together water droplets, and you transform the water into its three states -- solid, liquid, and gas -- to solve numerous puzzles. From the video, levels can get pretty hairy with ramps, magnets, lava pits, pressure switches, and springs strewn about. Also, unless I'm mistaken, I think I spotted a Jiggy.
There doesn't seem to be a release date pinned down, but PAX attendees can sample the game for themselves on the show floor.

I think Nintendo has me wanting WiiWare points with this and that crazy 3D puzzle thing game. I keep forgetting to set up my internet to my Wii (or there was never enough interest) but maybe, these games will help me accomplish my goal. I think the real reason I've never set it up though is because I know I will buy every Virtual Console game that I already own... Must. Buy. Mario. RPG... Again.
That looks really great, actually.
And it seemed like there is a jump button- that ice block was hopping, so it's like a platformer in which you are water. That is crazy sweet. Nice, pleasant art style too.

There are lots of ripoffs on the iThings, I guess someone will imitate this awesome concept.
