Liquid Kids is an arcade videogame released by Taito in 1990.
[edit] Plot
Liquid Kids is a single player platform game that features "Hipopo the Hippo", a hippopotamus who must fight his way through a large number of enemy-packed levels in search of his missing girlfriend - rescuing other hippo-like creatures along the way. Hipopo is armed with magical water globes which can be thrown at enemies to freeze and damage them. Once frozen, the enemies can then be kicked and destroyed completely.
The level design presents moving platforms, collapsible floors, boats and water-wheels all making an appearance. Small plants also appear on certain levels which can be "watered", causing them to grow and creating new platforms.
[edit] Trivia
- This game is known in Japan as Mizubaku Daibouken.
- Hipopo, the main character, appears in Bubble Symphony as a special character and in Bubble Memories as a giant bonus item. One of the secret rooms is built in the image of Tiki, the kiwi bird from The New Zealand Story.
