Water Festa features a unique wet/dry mechanic that requires players to manage a "wetness" meter, which serves as both ammunition and health. While the concept is creative and adds depth to the gameplay, it can lead to confusion regarding whether to evade or engage enemies, impacting the overall experience.
- “The gameplay mechanic is quite interesting; you have to manage a water gauge that serves as both your ammo and health, while you can't run out of water and can't have your gauge full at the same time.”
- “In my experience, this made for some pretty confusing gameplay, as I wasn’t sure if I should dodge as usual, or run headfirst into an enemy.”
- “Water Festa differentiates itself by using a wet/dry mechanic, where certain attacks empty or fill a 'wetness' meter.”
