This is a really fun idea. And nice simple artstyle. Still it's a littly click-intensive :D

Real good idea! The hard mode is really out of control right from the start :)

Plague OverflowGreat game. The art and design is really nice. And the gameplay loop is fun. I wish there was a win or lose condition. If you could get to another level that had more holes in different locations that would be great. But otherwise I really enjoyed it.

Ignite BikePretty fun game with some pretty sweet looking graphics and banging music!
In the comments below you said that you planned to put timer that records your longest run, but what if I told you that you can go for infinity like that by just sitting in one place and mashing right click. I don't know how would you go with solving that problem, think bailing water by holding to put it in the bucket and holding to throw it out would fix it.

Robbie the RoombaThanks for the feedback, we are glad you enjoyed it!
With the added timer, we would change the game rule from all 6 puddles needing to be max size, to just 3 out of 6. This would ensure a fail state if a player were to favor any particular hole. We'd probably tinker with timing of board burst, and puddle growth as well. Hold to fill & empty are both great ideas. Again, thanks for the feedback.
This feels really fun and satisfying! I love the music! I had no idea how well I was doing and I wish there was some sort of points system or something...

Lazy RiverI really liked the art style, and the mechanic fitted the theme great. I just wish there was more thing going out of control. I got into a loop pretty quick of patching the holes, but there wasn't any challenges past that.

Riotous Railway - GMTKJam 2020Sweet game! And the music really adds to the feeling of helplessness ;)

Aurora and the Twin PlanetsI really felt out of control with this one. The absolute chaos was amazing.

Drowsy DragonNice concept! It was challenging but not ridiculous, it felt good to patch the boards and bail out the water! My only issue was I wish there was some kind of score tracker so I could compete with people! Great game! :)
