Mercury Meltdown Revolution is a puzzle video game developed and published by Ignition Entertainment for the Nintendo Wii. The game is part of a series of puzzle games including Mercury Meltdown and Archer Maclean's Mercury. In the game, players use the motion sensing Wii Remote to manipulate the environment in order to move a blob of mercury to its goal and As in Mercury Meltdown, this game is divided into ten worlds, or "melting labs", each containing 16 stages. This time, however, the melting labs are different, with the replacement of Chem and Micro labs with the Chrono and Cryo Labs from Mercury Meltdown Remix.
The only melting lab available at the beginning of the game is the Astro Lab. By filling up a bar to the right (by completing stages with 100% mercury and getting high scores), new labs are progressively unlocked.
Playing the Game
Each level is represented by a test tube. Select a tube to start. In every level you must get the mercury to the finish while avoiding the numerous hazards. However, sometimes there might be multiple finishes or it might be a certain color. With multiple finishes you need to cut your blob into several smaller blobs and get one on each pad. If the pad is colored you need to be the same color to win. Sometimes there might be a pressure switch that needs a certain amount of mercury to activate. If you don't have enough mercury to turn it on, you can't reach the finish at all! Be wary!
