Don't read about it. Poke it.

Six things Kaplya can do. Each one is a button because a paragraph would get soggy anyway.

Amorphous Anatomy

Punches, blades and bullets just splash through. Go ahead.

State Shifting

Liquid, rock-hard ice, scalding steam. This controls the real Kaplya on your screen.
LIQUID
wobbly. follows you. judgmental.

Osmotic Drain

Kaplya pulls the water out of things. The flower agreed to this. Probably.

Hydrokinetic Mimicry

Any spilled cup, puddle or leak becomes more Kaplya. Tip the glass. You know you want to.

Deep Sea Pressure

Small drop. Ocean-grade impact. Brace your scroll position.

Contamination Assimilation

Pollution doesn't hurt Kaplya. It becomes Kaplya. Feed the real one:
SPRING WATER
factory settings. smug.
the weaknesses

Kaplya asks you not to press these.

Every legend has counters. Kaplya's are listed here as buttons, which in hindsight was a design mistake.

Dehydration

Dry heat, salt, desert air. Shrinks the legend.

Temperature Extremes

Stuck frozen = brittle. Kaplya prefers choosing.

Electricity

Very conductive. Very opposed to this button.

Needs Mass

A sealed dry room makes a small, slow, furious drop.
Grumpiness: ░░░░░ (fine)
the résumé

Games Kaplya has already invaded.

the lore

We printed Kaplya's full origin on nice dry paper. Kaplya has opinions about dry things.

THE ORIGIN OF KAPLYA — OFFICIAL RECORD

Long before the first mod, there was a glass left on a windowsill, and at the bottom of it, one drop that refused to evaporate. The storm that made it had moved on. The cave it dripped through had gone quiet. Everything else dried politely, on schedule — and this one drop simply declined. It learned patience from stone, pressure from the deep, and mischief from nowhere anyone can explain. It grew a face because faces get underestimated, and it chose a cat's face because cats are never blamed first.
