Ocean Wetventure is an interesting needle game that focuses on water-based gimmicks with a good variety of such. There are a lot of neat ideas here, though some of them I can't say were entirely enjoyable.
There are like a dozen of new water gimmicks in this game and they range from various things but mostly affect your movement in it. A lot of them are pretty interesting, most in fact, though I found a lot of the usage to be pretty awkward since it makes them work against the player in difficult ways. The downwards pressure water was a big example of this, it was pretty unenjoyable to use, another comes from ice water. A bigger offense though comes from how many times it felt the hardest stuff was at the end of the save, it's like having everything conclude with a choke jump except with actual difficult execution. When stuff like this isn't present though the game is still really fun, and the gimmicks themselves never feel that bad inherently (though the smaller jump you get from standing on platform water still doesn't make sense to me).
Overall, it's certainly an interesting game, but the actual design of saves leaves a lot to be desired. It's still worth checking out if you want to experience water gimmicks.
