This question isn't very specific, is it side scrolling 2D or top down 2D? Are you using some kind of physics model? There are numerous methods for creating spreading liquid. Please edit with more details and what you've tried already.

I haven't seen the game you mentioned, but in a similar method to my answer to this question (about 3D liquid), you could use a 2D particle-like "metaballs" system and render their combined surface using the 2D Marching Squares algorithm.
