Master of Swiss Apps 2013: Liquidsketch Named App of the Year

The audience voted Liquidsketch as this year’s Master of Swiss Apps—and thus the best app of the year. Liquidsketch is an amazing puzzle game for the iPad. Water that looks almost unbelievably realistic can be set in motion with a finger or by tilting the iPad. The game features nearly a hundred mostly original challenges that must be solved by moving and mixing colored water. The various puzzles are based on an understanding of the physical properties of water. An extremely successful and innovative concept that has been executed brilliantly. In addition to its excellent usability, the game also impresses with its superb level design and clear objectives. A «dry» topic (fluid dynamics) is brought to life in an extremely «splashy» way.
