Drop Alive is a cute little platformer with fantastic art and sound design, but with levels that can be a bit aggravating. You play as a drop of water escaping through a house towards the outside. Throughout the levels you'll transform at set points between the water drop, a small ice cube, and a cloud, each behaving a bit differently. By collecting tokens you can unlock different appearances for the character. The charming handdrawn art style alone makes the game worth playing, and the music is pretty good too. The annoying aspect of the levels is mainly that they don't have any kind of checkpoints, and you'll frequently die near the end of a level and be forced to restart from the beginning. Moving around causes the water drop to shrink, and when you don't know where the water sources are on a given level you have to be careful not to fade away, requiring a decent amount of trial and error to complete any given level. In order to place the optional collectable tokens in the levels, there are often branching paths, but in some levels this just makes it difficult to tell where you have to go. As the game is free, it is certainly worth checking out.
