For players that may not know how to play Mercury Meltdown, the concept is easy to grasp but tricky to master. Players will start in one Laboratory, and will unlock others as they progress through the various levels that comprise that stage of the game. Taking control of a blob of mercury, you’ll be forced to navigate levels with an assortment of traps, pitfalls and other hazards, which can strip sections of mercury away from the main blob. A gauge on the left side of the screen indicates how much mercury remains on a level at any point in time, and there’s a line indicator that lets you know how much mercury you have to keep so you can activate pressure plates, switches and other objects in the world. There’s a time crunch on completing the puzzles within each level as well: A countdown timer lets you know what the average time is to finish a stage. If you manage to reach the finishing zone in time, you receive a happy face within the timer; if you take too long, an angry face takes its place.
