Sorry about that! I tested it on chrome and edge but only on PC.

Nice twist on the platformer with having to fill the water to kill the enemies and it's one shot only. I found the game really difficult though. I'm not sure the jump can clear the bigger hand.

You need to ease the player in by making it easier at the start.

You definitely have something to work on with that refill mechanic though. The graphics are beautiful also although Iris' size does add to the difficulty.

Nice little game - obviously the art style is great, I guess reminiscent of a wall painting from the time. My highscore was 136, which is a B (is this a B like school grades? What was the highest I could have gotten?) The procedural death hand generation works although, sometimes it feels unfair, like there is 2 in a row - you can dash into one, but before you can jump the other has already hit you. I think it could be improved if there was less wait time as you lean down to collect the water - maybe up the pace of the enemies so it was more frantic. Animations in generation were also well done.

Great job!

Thanks for playing! I didn't have much time to flesh out the scoring since I spent most of my time trying to figure out the attacking the enemies, the grading was S, A, B, C, D, F in order of best to worst, which I should've explained in the text! The water collecting definitely could be more faster. Thanks for the feedback!

I got -11 in my first attempt and it gave me a A :). Must have been my stylistic running away in panic!
