Remember the handheld game with the little metal ball that you tilt through a maze of obstacles to the finish line? Enter Mercury - a surprisingly original, challenging, and stylish game that replaces the ball with a digital blob of mercury. I really liked the way the game starts you off with simple, instinctive baby steps and gradually works players up to increasingly complex puzzles and obstacles.
