It’s pretty hard to get excited for any kind of match-3 game anymore, but after checking out the trailer for the upcoming Liqua Pop I walked away pretty impressed. The gameplay in Liqua Pop revolves around organizing the flow of the drops that fall from the top of the screen. You can use their fluidity to create shapes and combine drops, and clearing drops from the pile will slowly help Toadie the frog inch his way up the leaf on the side of the screen.
This trailer hints at even more nuances to the gameplay, but at this time nothing more is known besides what is described above. What I do know, however, is that I’m really digging the bright, colorful look of Liqua Pop and the convincing liquid effects of the drops. Have a look yourself:
As you can see from the video, Liqua Pop has a really vibrant look. It will be optimized for Retina Display as well, so it should be extra crisp on those devices. The gameplay sounds interesting due to the liquid nature of the drops that are used for play, but we’ll have to wait and see if Liqua Pop really offers anything more than your average color matching game when we actually get our hands on it. The game is being developed by iChromo and published by EA Mobile, and they expect to have Liqua Pop out by the end of February. There’s currently a discussion thread in our forums for the game and we’ll take a closer look at Liqua Pop upon release.
