Sprinkle (4/5 stars, all ages) is today’s Amazon Free App of the Day. The premise is simple: you man a firehose to put out fires on Saturn’s moon Titan, saving the tiny, cute aliens who live there. But the complexity increases with each level as obstacles and extra challenges are introduced, and unlike most similar games, this one really requires the use of both hands: one to adjust the height and angle of the hose, and another to control the water flow.
From Amazon:
On a Planetary Moon, far, far Away
The inhabitants of Titan, one of Saturn’s moons, lived out their days happily and peacefully in straw hut homes, without the need for fire protection or defense for as long as anyone could remember. Then one day, space tourists from Earth inadvertently crashed through Saturn’s rings, bringing a storm of flaming asteroids crashing down on the Titans. To combat the widespread fires threatening their homes, the Titans built a massive water cannon. And they’ve asked YOU to man it!
The Details
Using a water cannon mounted on a crane, players must adjust the height and angle of the cannon to fight fires, move obstacles, spin wheels and activate traps in this challenging water physics-based puzzler! Squirt carefully, as you will run out of water, and the less water you use, the more drops you earn.
Using some of the most realistic water physics seen on a mobile device yet, Sprinkle is a brain-teasing game that will have players straining to figure out each puzzle and obstacle.
Sprinkle Features
Amazing water physics: some of the most realistic water physics ever seen on a mobile device make Sprinkle an exciting and addictive puzzler.
Brain-teasing puzzles: what starts as simply pointing and spraying to quench each fire becomes much more challenging through the 72 levels, as players must overcome the intricacies of each puzzle before time and water run out.
Blocks, boulders, and cogs (oh my!): Use the power of your water cannon to move blocks of ice and boulders, spin giant cogs, and depress traps in order to reach and extinguish every last fire.
