Pocket Gamer: It's not uncommon to find a Nintendo eShop title that has a great concept let down by shoddy aesthetics and a general lack of style.
Hydroventure: Spin Cycle is not one of these games. This latest release from Curve Studios is not only a hugely enjoyable experience, but it looks utterly gorgeous as well.

Having already made a splash on the rather underappreciated WiiWare service, Curve Studios look to skim their success across the pond to the Nintendo eShop.
Hydroventure: Spin Cycle replaces the Wii Remote for the gyroscopic capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS, players tilting the handheld left, right and upside down as they cascade pure-hearted Water Spirit Eddy across colourful locales.
ENE3: "This game would earn even more points if he had the possibility of 3D gameplay."
One development studio that has made a valiant contribution to Nintendo’s digital download services is undoubtedly Curve Studios. Having first released Hydroventure for WiiWare to much critical acclaim back in 2010, the development team has recently returned to its original idea and expanded upon it for Hydroventure: Spin Cycle, a new instalment in the series that has been built from the ground up for the Nintendo 3DS.
Recently, Nintendo Life was invited along to Curve Studios’ headquarters in London, UK to take a tour of the studio, meet some of the team and speak with the creative genius behind it all: Jonathan “Bidds” Biddle.
