Using a Wii remote only control scheme, you'll tilt the game's levels to move Dewy, a tiny droplet of water, around each zone. He'll slide and jump over brightly colored environments while charming the pants off anyone who plays the game. As a water droplet, Dewy doesn't pose much of a threat, but the water-boy has the ability to turn quickly change the climate, affecting his liquid state and altering the game world.

Press up on the D-pad and the world will become hot and hazy, turning Dewy into a cloud. His movement is restricted, but he'll have the ability to let loose a powerful lightning strike, taking out clusters of bad guys.

Press down on the D-pad and the world will freeze with a snap. Dewy himself will turn into a diamond shaped ice block, a razor sharp whirlwind of solid danger. While less effective than the lightning strike—and harder to control— Ice Dewy will take out bigger enemies who are only stunned by the electric shock of his other form.

The game is fairly simple in concept, but requires a steady hand to control. Like Super Monkey Ball, it's no easy task to keep Dewy on a tilting platform. I found myself falling off ledges fairly often, frustratingly so, but in no way a game-killing experience. It just takes a measure Wii-mote tilting hand to guide and slide Dewy through each level.

Like Elebits, Dewy's Adventure looks to be a creative, colorful experience one won't find on other platforms. It's definitely not a mini-game cash-in and should provide platforming fans a find alternative to some of the third-party fare coming this year for the Wii.

The designer who is being interviewed in this clip is the most awkwardly charming person I've never met. Dewy's Adventure is a 3D marble madness-esque game where you play a water droplet who is out to save the forest. Who am I kidding? It doesn't matter what you save, it's cute as hell. And, since some of the designers came over from Elebits, it's radiating in the usual combo-color of unsaturated pallettes with neon highlights that equals visual trippiness. This is the same way I choose what box of tampons to buy.

Dewy's Adventure, according to this interview, is coming out Fall 2007. It will also have some kind of WiiConnect24 utilitization, different levels, characters, a plot, you know the same things all games have. Kim Phu

Dewy's Adventure [Game Trailers]

Konami is teaming up once again with the producer of Elebits to bring you a new "action adventure" game tentatively titled Dewy's Adventure. The best I can tell, Dewy's adventure uses a Loco Roco-esque style of gameplay where the player manipulates the surroundings to get the rogue little dewdrop to bend to their will. Not being a huge fan of Elebits, I won't be picking this particular title up, but I know a lot of people loved it so I figured I'd put my personal feelings aside and present this video for your consideration.

KONAMI ANNOUNCES DEWY S ADVENTURE FOR THE WII ?

New Action Adventure Game Puts the Power of the Elements in Players Hands
with Intuitive Wii Remote ? Controls

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. February 2, 2007 Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
today announced Dewy's Adventure (working title), an original action title
exclusively for the Wii ? from the producer that created the critically
acclaimed Elebits. Dewy's Adventure lets players use the Wii Remote ? to
control the elements and manipulate the terrain of the game world as they
help a small droplet of water save its home world from a mysterious dark
force.

Dewy's Adventure introduces players to a world where pure green forests
flourished under the careful watch of the towering Elder Tree. However, a
mysterious dark force known as the evil Don Hedron has taken hold of the
Elder Tree and transformed the land into a gloomy world shrouded in shadows
and fog. Using the last of its remaining power, the Elder Tree created a
small droplet of water named Dewy and granted him the power of the elements
with hope that he could overcome the evil Don Hedron and restore tranquility
to the land.

Taking advantage of the unique Wii Remote, Dewy s Adventure grants players
full control over the game world and the elements as they take control of
Dewy and seek to overcome the evil Don Hedron. Players can tilt the Wii
Remote to create inclines in the landscape, moving the droplet to precisely
the right spot while rotating the environment to solve puzzles. Most often
found as a small ball of water, Dewy can alter the temperature of his
immediate area to transform into ice and mist. These transformations are
useful in freezing or heating different parts of the world to solve puzzles
and also to defeat the game s fearsome enemies.

Players can also take control of the elements by using motion-specific
gestures with the Wii Remote, such as shaking it to cause an earthquake,
waving it to create gusts of wind or summoning blots of lightning while in
mist form. Combined with Dewy's three different forms and landscape tilting
abilities, these skills provide players with extensive control over the
environment and a great degree of freedom in approaching each of the game's
six stages.

In addition to a single player story mode, Dewy's Adventure also features an
edit mode that allows for full customization of complete stages with unique
puzzles, different types of landscape and a wide variety of enemies. These
stages can be played alone or enjoyed cooperatively with a friend.

"Dewy's Adventure emphasizes Konami's commitment to creating innovative
software for the Wii with one of a kind gameplay, unique motion sensitive
controls, and a colorful game world packed with memorable characters," said
Wilson Cheng, Product Manager with Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
"Building upon the success of Elebits, Dewy's Adventure is poised to deliver
another exciting and accessible gaming experience that is only possible
through the immersive Wii hardware."

Dewy s Adventure will launch for the Wii in 2007. For more information,
