Hello, first time poster. I hope I've posted this in the right forum. I have an idea for an interesting mechanic but I'm not sure what type of game I should make for it. I recently learned about Rumble, which is essentially fighting game with Avatar-style earthbending. Players fight in an arena and raise rocks from the ground to both attack and defend. I wondered if it was viable to do something similar but with water. Then I found a video that shows a demo of someone manipulating water in VR through Unreal Engine, so now I know it's mechanically possible.
However, I don't want to make a fighting game, so what other genre would be good for this idea? My initial thought is a puzzle/adventure game. Perhaps the player has to navigate a sunken temple and solve puzzles in each room? What do you think?
