Save the Fish

Help the little Fish to escape from its boring life by using all states of matter in favor of its escape. Open the way for the Fish! Navigate through the pipes with liquid, freeze water so you can pass over it, avoid getting close to any plasma around the level, use vapor and condense it back and transport water to other areas, and cool down the lava so it doesn't fry the Fish. Play with interactive elements and understand states of matter in a practical way!
