I played your game on my stream Check out https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission!
I loved it! Music, gameplay, graphics were all great! I kept missing one coin but on my third try I managed to get all 9 coins! Great job!
This would have been a perfect game, if it had fit the theme of the jam. The art is clear, crisp, and composed. The music is great, along with the sound effects. Your level design is awesome, with a great difficulty curve. You typeset the game well, and there are no bugs or grammatical errors to be seen.
You did amazingly well!!
Short and simple but fun, and very polished! Nice work
Hey there!
Great entry. The controls were tight and precise and the game is cute and short.
The colours especially work really well for me.
I just didn't quite see how the game fit the theme, but other than that it's one of the top entries for me, nice work!
Oh boy! I love playing games!
This game's really good! To give an example of how much I liked the game, I actually reset the game because I forgot to pick up one of the coins and wanted a perfect score!
Your protagonist reminds of the old ZX Spectrum mascot "Horace", not sure if that was the inspiration but I certainly got that vibe from him! So there's a SMALL bit of bias involved in this since I like the concept of him.
However just because I have a love for a now forgotten mascot doesn't mean the game is perfect, your biggest error in my eyes is that I don't really even see an attempt at a twist. It can't be the water, because that's in the title, it can't be the coins either, because it's being a point of the game for extra points. Shame too, aside from that. This would be a frontrunner!

Thank you for the feedback! The water rising "mechanic" is what I considered to be my twist while making the game, however I do agree that it is not much of a twist. I'm glad you enjoyed it though!
Fun game! The visuals are pleasing, & the controls are tight & responsive. My only gripe might be that I don't really see where the twist is, I assume it's the water rising up, but would that be considered a twist? Still, nice job!
Fun game, I really liked the particle effect on the water as it came up.
Impressive! The gameplay is fluid, great levels, super cool audio! I collected all the coins! I just don't understand where is the twist is, but maybe I'm just dumb.
Super fun! Handles really well and level design had a nice ramp up in difficulty.
This is a five star game for sure, quite impressive and well thought out. the music was fun, the sounds were good, and the rising water was a nice touch to really get the blood flowing.
