User Experience

Here’s the back story: your game takes place on Titan, which is a moon of Saturn. The inhabitants are living peacefully until one day, space tourists from the nearby planet Earth came to visit. Unfortunately, these visitors also brought a bunch of burning asteroids to crash in to set the Titan’s straw homes on fire. The natives have built a water cannon on top of a crane in order to fight the fires.

Sprinkle is a physics-based game that requires you to put out fires using the water cannon and a crane. You can move the crane up and down and you can also adjust the angle of spray. You’ll have to move objects to get at the fires, activate traps, and spin wheels to earn the most points. You will get more drops (and therefore more points) the less water you use.

You will have to solve each puzzle to earn the most drops.
