For players with the dedication to succeed and the incomprehensible desire for perfection, Droplitz is one of the most refined puzzle games available.

Droplitz is the most addictive, challenging and fun puzzle game I have seen in years. It's simple to play, challenging to try and master and completely absorbing.
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
Droplitz is one of those under-the-radar games that, in spite of how good it is, has gotten lost in the commotion and hoopla of the summer games season.
Read Full Review >Gamer 2.0
For $10 on PSN and XBLA, there’s a good amount of content here and replayability that makes it a worthy purchase for fans of the puzzle genre.
Read Full Review >NZGamer
Droplitz doesn't have any multiplayer modes, which is a slight shame. Luckily, then, the single player is fantastic.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
In any case, the immensely satisfying micro-level gameplay far outweighs the minor difficulty problems in the game -- if you're looking for a new timewaster on the PC, 360 or PS3, definitely give Droplitz a spin.

Despite its flaws, the addictive gameplay and enjoyable game modes make this a must for puzzle fans.
Read Full Review >Gamer.nl
Droplitz offers more depth and challenge than you would guess from its simple and abstract presentation, which makes it on the best puzzle games on XBLA.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
Some sort of multiplayer effort would've been appreciated, but even without it, Droplitz strikes us as one of the better original puzzlers of this generation, and is well worth the effort for genre aficionados seeking a definite challenge.

A quality title which has enough about it to stand out from a crowded genre.
Read Full Review >Gamervision
Droplitz may not be perfect, but the promise of an addictive puzzle game experience has definitely been fulfilled.
Read Full Review >ZTGameDomain
Droplitz is a simple and addictive puzzle game that will keep even the most avid puzzle gamer occupied for some time. The online leaderboards are a welcome addition, but a lack of head-to-head challenges really hurts some of the replay value.
Read Full Review >GamingTrend
All in all, Droplitz is an incredibly addicting puzzle game, that will require a time and effort investment that most casual gamers are not typically willing to give.
Read Full Review >MS Xbox World
For 800 Microsoft Points ($10 / £6.80) this is a must have for puzzle game fanatics, and a worthwhile purchase for those looking for a fun, relaxing, and addictive way to spend their leisure time.

Even the mechanisms built in to help keep you going do little to relieve the difficulty.
Read Full Review >Gaming Nexus
With Droplitz always on the verge of running out, the steady-drip pacing escalates to full-on waterboarding in short order. It’s smooth, polished, and well-conceived puzzler, but is often more threatening than rewarding.
Read Full Review >IGN
The art style and music don't show a lot of personality, but the gameplay is simple and addicting. It'll claim several hours of your life before you even notice they're gone.
Read Full Review >Play Magazine
Straightforward, addictive, surprisingly complex. Don’t approach if you’re unwilling to part with many, many hours of your life, probably without your consent.

Though the difficulty can be hard to swallow at times, the puzzle gameplay quickly grows on you.

Droplitz put us to sleep. We mean that in the best way possible. [Sept 2009, p.87]
X360 Magazine UK
Suitably frantic. [Issue#49, p.103]
GameZone
What Droplitz lacks in personality and originality, it makes up for in fun, addictive gameplay. Unfortunately, bit of repetition and a lack of multiplayer keep this one from dropping into must-have territory.

A clever game, then, but not a particularly fulfilling one. [Sept 2009, p.99]
