WaterMaze is a relaxing physics puzzle where water genuinely flows — it pools, spills, finds its own level and slips through any gap you leave open. Nothing is on a grid. Study the channels, choose which sluice gates to open, and carve a route that reaches every dry field before your well runs empty. Only a few sluices can stand open at once, so you can't simply open everything and watch. Close one to open another, and shepherd the water down the maze wave by wave. Leave it standing too long and the sun takes it. 240 LEVELS ACROSS 10 WORLDS Follow the water from Green Forest through the Frozen Reach and the Ancient Aqueduct, into Golden Dunes, Red Canyon and stranger places still — where what flows through the channels is honey, chocolate, fuel or slime. FEATURES • Real-time fluid physics — every drop is simulated, not scripted • 240 hand-tuned levels across 10 distinct worlds • A different liquid in every world, each with its own weight and colour • Sluice gates you open and close to steer the flow • A finite well — plan the route, don't flood the board • Gardens that visibly bloom as the water reaches them • Hints when you need another perspective • One-thumb controls, no timers on the tutorial levels • Play offline, anywhere Can you find the right path and make every drop count?
