Solid game. I did feel the need to fix those pipes ASAP, haha.

The "Press the Button To Try And Not Die"-button does not work. :/

Awesome graphics, the game idea was solid, loved the time mechanic

Awesome game! My highest score was 164 seconds, very intense towards the end of the game. I'll say the warning siren got a little grating by the end but still great fun to play. Nice work! :)

Great idea. Works well

Excellent job! Love the overall mood, graphics and sound. I drowned ;( but that's the most fun I've had drowning...

nice work

That was fun. Visuals and audio are great too

Love it, great work!

The audio clicks well with the character movements. The perspective reminds me a little of the old oddworld games. It's really hot in my apartment right now and this game is making me feel a whole lot cooler. Great ambiance.

I enjoyed the atmosphere, camera placement, and lighting/mood.

Very nice graphics (cool water effect). The lighting is also really well done. It became hectic really fast, which i enjoyed a lot!

Solid entry. I thought the graphics and sound where really good and I liked the take on the theme. It seemed like once it started flooding though it came too fast to stop.

Nice, you have a great aesthetic and it's a lot of fun, but you're missing an element to create flow. At the moment it feels frustrating because there is no way out, it's how long can you avoid your inevitable death. You need an element that eases that feeling, and my suggestion would be a 'drain water' option. Maybe a grate with a lever on either side of the level, which you can use to drain the water in quick spurts (but you need to hold it, thus more pipes burst).

Still fun though ^_^

@kara Jayde - Great idea. There is actually a draining mechanic in place (water is always draining at a constant rate) but is overtaken by the flow relatively quickly, so it really only drains when not much is flowing. I think having an active drain could work nicely.

Sadly there is no way not to drown. Nice visuals. Very polished game.

Good and Hard game, good graphics.
Is sad know you will die didn't matter what you do...

Beautiful graphics! Very straightforward and a great example of quality over quantity.
