More On: Droplitz
Atlus is branching out from its usually hectic assembly line of JRPGs and is collecting Droplitz.  (The "z" helps with search engine optimization, I hear.)  In Droplitz you'll be turning dials, opening paths, and trying to keep the drops from going to waste.  It's like a lesson in water conservation for the Lemmings set that enjoyed BioShock's unlocking puzzles.  Or something to that effect.

These screenshots have you churning watery paths with peach-colored backgrounds, DNA strand backgrounds, heart-filled backgrounds, leafy green backgrounds -- the possibilities are obviously endless.
