Vessel is a physics based {{Puzzle Platformer}} by Stange Loop Games. You are M. Arkwright, the mind behind the Fluro, a device that gives shape, life, and a very simple intelligence to water. Use of these watery automatons has revolutionized industry in Arkwright's SteamPunk world. Of course, if you have such ambitious projects you require a massive laboratory. Fluros are subservient to whoever plants their 'seed' and Arkwright's inventions are all he needs to keep his equipment in peak condition. However, as his research into his next project continues to evolve, so do his inventions. The so-thought docile Fluros have taken to their work a little too well and multiple forms have been sighted [[RecursiveCreators making more fluros]] and wreaking havoc in the lab's machinery, as well as the nearby factory, orchard, and mines. Problem is, Arkwright only created one kind of fluro...

* FridgeHorror: What happens when you make a dark fluro out of glow goo? It lives out its short, tortured existence in unbearable pain before disintegrating.



* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Depending on the type of fluro, there are lots of different ways they can be destroyed. They can be crushed, evaporated (lava + water), exploded (red goo + blue goo), corroded (glow goo + lava), disintegrated (dark fluros in light), and essentially starved to death (depriving light fluros of light). [[BoringButPractical Or you can just walk through them.]]

* MadScientist: Arkwright. He's not as malevolent or flamboyant as other examples of the trope, but his obsession with the Fluros becomes more and more obvious as the game progresses. [[spoiler: He's awfully quick to decide they're more advanced than humanity and [[ProfessorGuineaPig try to become one]]]].



* RecursiveCreators: All it takes to make a fluro is a seed (or a machine) and any kind of liquid. Cue multiple puzzles and some boss battles that consist of wading through an endless number of fluros that endlessly replenish their numbers.

Vessel is a physics based {{Puzzle Platformer}} by Stange Loop Games. You are M. Arkwright, the mind behind the Fluro, a device that gives life to any fluid. Of course, if you have such ambitious projects you require a massive laboratory. Fluro are subservient to whoever plants their 'seed' and Arkwright's inventions are all he needs to keep his equipment in peak condition. However, as his research into his next project continues to evolve, so does his inventions. The so-thought docile Fluro have taken to their work a little too well and multiple forms have been sighted wreaking havoc to the lab's machinery, orchard and mines. Problem is, Arkwright only created one.

As Arkwright, perhaps you wanted to take responsibility or maybe your curiosity got the better of you as he goes to investigate the disturbances.
