Very cute. I like the graphics and the music! This game seems fantastic for a younger audience!

sience 2013-12-17 10:01

Thanks. Yes, it's indeed meant for younger players :).

The sun beam on the background graphic was a nice touch. Also btw I go to the next level regardless of whether or not I catch the tear.

sience 2013-12-17 14:43

@TaleLore: Yes. If you don't catch the raindrops, the water is rises every day a bit more. If there is enough water to push Fred under water the also game ends.

Such a happy game with cute characters. :) Really liked the music. And the sun beams look fantastic!
Got a little bit repetetive after some levels, but as other commenters said, it fits well for a younger audience.

This kept me playing longer then I expected.

I think my version was bugged? The water level didn't rise, it just .. if I didn't catch one tear it would go way over my head almost instantly and game over. I played the Windows version. It's a cute little game with fantastic music and atmosphere, I imagine young kids would love it - but I have to admit I played longer than I thought I would as well.

I like the dark clouds very much, they look very cute and funny :)

This is such a nice game. It was a lot of fun and a good use of the theme.

sweet. error occurred on chrome after playing for some time:

Ok :-/. Please try another version. I will disable the WebGL version for now, until i fixed it.

sience 2013-12-19 16:05

The WebGL Version works with Firefox & Safari. Chrome has a bug in repeating the music.

nelien 2013-12-19 23:21

Very contemplative. Very cute :). A little bit dull and easy on the gameplay side, but at least there was a nice track of music to listen to!

stmatn 2013-12-19 23:26

Cute idea and nice turn on the theme!
I like the graphics!

simianlogic 2013-12-21 02:53

Cute. Wish I had a 4-5 year old around to watch them play, as I found it pretty easy. What is Fred? a cup? Seemed like left/right would've been enough input, moving up and down didn't seem to add anything.

ovenchips 2013-12-21 11:01

Good solid effort in pretty much all categories. One suggestion I have is to add some cute sound effects. e.g. When a raindrop falls on the rock, you hear a hiss and an 'aaaahhhhhhh' sound. Things like that show kids that the rock is hot. Well done.

van-noctar 2013-12-21 15:00

It's a good idea to create a game with no violence :D

ittlebit 2013-12-21 16:45

Seems like a perfect match for the audience you shot for. More sounds and maybe more interactive effects would take this a long way!

ithildin 2013-12-23 17:58

Cute little game, with sweet graphics and nice, melancholic music. I can imagine it working wonders for kids on a tablet.

Good job! :)

fullmontis 2013-12-23 21:47

Lovely music. Gameplay is a little basic and the controls are a little slippery.

badlydrawnrod 2013-12-24 11:56

Controls are a bit fiddly - at least on the WebGL version. I'd be surprised if a younger player would be able to master it, at least in that format.

greytram 2013-12-26 13:29

Nice graphics, kids should love them!
Music is nice but a bit too short. Sound FX could be smoother.
You should add a few more animations (like when Fred gets the water drop or when a dark cloud is stopped).

Lovely and cute !
