iFluid is a totally original and engaging adventure game for PC due for release on 13th March 2009 by Nobilis and Ascaron Entertainment. In a unique twist, players find themselves exploring the world from the perspective of a drop of water, guiding a lost droplet on its journey through the plumbing system. Players must battle evaporation and absorption whilst also avoiding thirsty insects looking for a drink.

Direct2Drive has discounted The Best of Indie Bundle Volume 2 to the tune of 75% off the standard price. Typically going at a shade under $100, the game bundle that packs seven solid to great titles is currently being offered up for just $25, coming out to around $3.50 a game.
The wildly original concept of controlling a drop of a water belies any real substance to the game beyond the soaking-up mechanic, and much like the game's protagonist the experience comes across a mite shallow. That said, it's a charming indie outing that's kind on the wallet – you'll feel you've had your 10 bucks worth after the first few levels.
BCGaming writes: "At only $10, I-Fluid isn't perhaps expected to be very long or some totally enthralling experience. It isn't, but it is a passable little experience that offers a good amount of challenge for both casual and hardcore players alike. A few more levels with some unique designs and maybe a fourth game mode would have helped this game out immensely, as would have removing some of the game's glitches. Thankfully, being a PC game, there's always hope of a magic patch to take care of those things. You might be able to do better on Steam with your $10, but you can also do a hell of a lot worse".
