One of my most anticipated platformers, Vessel, has finally been given a release date of March 1st. For those of you who have been with us for a while, we first covered Vessel way back in 2010 when former Managing Editor Peter Eykemans took it for a spin in a lengthy preview at GDC. Since then, however, the game has gone through a lot more development. In fact, I’m wondering just how much has changed.

Regardless, the game today looks just as great as always and, even better, we now know when we’ll get to play it. Feel free to check out the trailer:

I dare you to not be impressed!

In any case, one of the reasons we are writing about it today, aside from the release date, is that developers Strange Loop Games has released a new tech video showing some impressive water physics for a 2D platformer. The developer promises that later in the game you’ll be able to mix and combine different liquids for different affects.

Check out the full video below for those interested in one of the more unique and impressive features of the game.
