Drop everything and watch this Droplitz video

by Jem Alexander { May 28th 2009 at 5:30PM }

The video above is a rather amazing tutorial, explaining the basics of the upcoming iPhone, PSN and XBLA game Droplitz. As you watch, a very British woman will guide you through the game which, apparently, involves maneuvering your droplitz -- or "dinky little balls of indeterminate stuff" as the tutorial lady so wonderfully puts it -- from one end of the grid to the other, by rotating the pipe pieces.

While the narration is the real star of the video, the game does actually look like quite good fun. There's no word on a release date yet, but we'll be sure to let you know as soon as Atlus announces one. Make sure you watch the full video to find out exactly why these droplitz aren't adorable little fluffy creatures with cute googly eyes and little button noses.

That trailer is very funny.

Now that can't you play droplitz for free in Bioshock? Thinking about it that minigame was out of place in Bioshock.

I know this sort of games have a name already and can be played on numerous internet websites for nothing but I just don't remember the name,was it plumbing or pipes?

Pipemania? An ancient relic from a time when dragons roamed the sky.

looks neat! I'll get it for xbox, as long as they don't charge $15 bucks for it.

Oh man, that accent is pretty nice.

That woman is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much like the narrator from Little Big Planet.

Stephan Fry? In that they both have posh Hamstead accents?

Try coming to London, and you'll get to know how the majority of that kind of people are...

Well, not even the accent (though it is very close) but in the way they talk... Talk about overly adorably cutsey things, and her saying "and then where would we be?" is so totally exactly what he would say! To be honest, that entire bit about the button nose things, that's all very LBP-esque.

It kind of reminds me of the narration in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie.

anticipating a peggle-ish crack out with this one...

yeah Droplitz would prob do better were it not for Bioshock. I love the bioshock minigame...and if I want to play some more, ill just hack some more things on bioshock or maybe even in bioshock 2. Maybe Droplitz should have been sold and been inserted into b2...
