Lessons
It was an interesting challenge to work with a resolution of just 64x64, and the project was also a leaning experience both in learning game development in general, as well as in scaling ideas back as I had to change my initial idea into something far more manageable pretty early into the jam. Making sprites for the target resolution was also an interesting experience which led to focusing more on the overall form of the sprites than on details.

Fun game, but I have no idea what was going on especially why I didn't know why i couldn't move on the other half of the screen. Nice job!
Nice little game and the music is very good. I especially like the way the music is synchronized with the game over screen. :)
Graphically, it slightly feels like Atari. :)
Not sure why the horizontal direction movement is limited, but other than that, the whole thing is really nicely put together. :)
Great little game! The music does match and works well. great job!
This game is more than meets the eye, pretty good gameplay for such a simple premise (rising water level annoyed and inspired me to bang those buckets, while movement options require tactics) and music matches the frantic atmosphere. There is even a little animation at the end for a treat, good job.
