Game Zero
Splash Lake is a great puzzle game. It doesn't use any extraordinary graphics or sounds, however, the challenge is very high. This game will keep any player busy for a very long time. I only recommend this game for puzzle lovers. Because this is a puzzle game the game control is nothing special. Definitely a very solid puzzle game.

The Video Game Critic
I'm normally good at puzzle games, but I couldn't make much progress in Splash Lake. Even the first screen requires a great deal of effort, and the difficulty ramps up steeply from there. While the game supports four players, it's alternating turns only, which is disappointing. Another issue is the bizarre scoring system. After scoring only a few hundred points for painstakingly executing several difficult moves, I would then inexplicably earn 50K for accidentally sinking myself! It had some potential, but Splash Lake is too difficult and unintuitive to recommend.
