The developer, Dark Energy Digital, has taken those criticisms to heart and will release a massive update to the game that will dramatically change how it plays.

Dark Energy’s new game Hydrophobia has evolved from tech demo to flagship title of Microsoft’s end-of-year push of Xbox Live Arcade games. It’s not just because of the water. It’s because of what you can do with it.

Kotaku previewed new Xbox Live Arcade exclusive Hydrophobia this weekend. The game has some rough spots, but to help you understand this game’s potential check out its water effects in this official trailer.
It’s been quite awhile since we’ve seen much of anything on Blade Interactive’s water-physics showcase Hydrophobia. In fact, things have been pretty quiet on the subject since we posted screenshots of the title back in May of last year, so we’re happy to hear that not only is the project still in existence, it’s also nearing completion. Blade is now aiming at a March 2009 release for the title on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
