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.

Labs

As in Mercury Meltdown, this game is divided into ten worlds, or "labs", each containing 16 stages. This time, however, the labs are different, with the removal of Chemical and Micro labs and the inclusion of Chrono and Cryo Labs from Mercury Meltdown Remix.
The only 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. 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!

Reception

Reviews of the game have been generally positive. Eurogamer praised the controls saying the motion sensing capabilities were used more fully than other games and also praised how the game was accessible for both skilled and unskilled players, giving the game 9/10.IGN UK gave the game 7.9 out of 10 and an editor's choice award, although they said that the sound could be better and a lack of multiplayer is disappointing, especially on the Wii.It has an overall average rating of 78% at Game Rankings
