In the higher difficulties, it's a bit hard to tell whats watery pseudopod and what's vulnerable water surface. Since you don't want to hit the chlorine with the central panel, this makes aiming a bit difficult. Having a stronger indication of safe zones would have been useful.

This game is challenging and entertaining! I have to admit, the game didn't run so smoothly on a dying laptop but, even with a lower than ideal frame-rate (which was no fault of the game's) I found it enjoyable! Also, the 'How to play' made me smile.

veverichka 2015-12-14 22:31

Made it to insane! Had a lot of fun playing it. Also the water looks amazing and Crazy-Hair Carl is just adorable. :D

alexlamarche 2015-12-15 00:04

Awesome! Very innovative. Cool little mini game

elit3dgaming 2015-12-15 00:18

The water is very cool. The game is incredibly fun and really innovative.

ryandali 2015-12-15 00:19

Unique mechanic, camera angle shows the water movement very well but makes it tough to tell where to click to knock the balls out.

anarbitrarymustache 2015-12-15 00:56

Love the idea. The backstory was also a wonderful touch. I felt like the difficulty jumped a lot from medium to hard. I didn't have the patience to finish hard, so I can only imagine Insane. Maybe have the shadow of the tablet adjust based on its distance from the water - would help aiming for the player maybe. Some sound would go a long way too. Great entry.

The water looks amazing! The game is fun to play and different. Update and allow us to unlock gloves for Carl, this is a game breaking bug!

thebrickanator 2015-12-15 02:17

I like the liquid interactivity and motion :) the game itself is quite simple and should have been polished with sounds and so on but was never the less still quite fun, and I love the interpretation of the theme :D

propter_ludus 2015-12-15 02:39

Very cool little game!

ingon 2015-12-15 02:42

Really nice and innovative.

rys0n 2015-12-15 02:44

I really, really liked this. Good job man :)

alvaromartin 2015-12-15 02:53

Nice! Very original execution of the theme.

mockthebear 2015-12-15 02:55

i cant beat the hard XD

threelivesgames 2015-12-15 03:09

Awesome entry. I couldn't get very far as the difficulty was pretty up there, but it was fun to play never the less. Really nice graphics too.

jofra 2015-12-15 03:17

I love pools! xD Nice game bro!

phobos001 2015-12-15 03:19

Very well designed game! The delay after clicking on a water tile stops spamming, and the harder difficulties required me to come up with new tactics to deal with multiple chlorine balls at once. I also enjoyed the tutorial for its sense of humor. Gr8 m8 8 outa 8

arcym 2015-12-15 03:44

Awesome!! And you built this all in your own programming language? Rad!

minism 2015-12-15 03:53

Unique concept, kind of feels like juggling multiballs in pinball. Love the isometric graphics. Nice job :)

teamkawaiiju 2015-12-15 03:56

Awesome idea! The gameplay is fast-paced and addictive. Graphics are pleasing to look at and dammit Carl will get his Foosball table if it's the last thing I am tangentially responsible for

makerart 2015-12-15 04:06

Good mechanic! Greate model! Thanks and good luck!

mattlevonian 2015-12-15 04:11

Seemed more like a tech demo than a full-fledged game

wolfkingw 2015-12-15 04:33

I can tell a lot of love was put into the water itself, but I wish that same love was reflected on to the worker himself. Other than that, I found the game really fun, and enjoyed the challenge. Good job!

oberynmartell 2015-12-15 04:35

Nice mini game you have there! =D

ariamk 2015-12-15 06:17

What a clever idea. I like it!

justinooncx 2015-12-15 06:44

Fun, innovative game, and nice graphics to boot! Well done!

ninjascript 2015-12-15 06:44

Neat concept!

flwns 2015-12-15 07:18

Intro made me chuckle, gameplay was neat. Good stuff overall.

middenkwaaii 2015-12-15 09:54

Nice! And I love the guys face ^^

gogo199432 2015-12-15 10:35

A really good game, loved it a lot :)

witchlake 2015-12-15 12:07

Very nice graphics. The gameplay is very original and I had a lot of fun to play it. A little bit difficult maybe. Good job!

littlethor 2015-12-15 12:13

I'm very curious : how did you get this strange idea? That's very fun and well made. Good job!

dreyan 2015-12-15 12:35

This is definitely a nice interpretation of the theme! Simple to understand, quite satisfying when you win.

tyrants-not-found-team 2015-12-15 12:48

Interesting idea.
I enjoyed watching the geometry of water :D
Good job.

Cheers,
Morco (tyrants.not.found team)

mard 2015-12-15 13:24

Great game! Amazing looking water, the gameplay is simple but fun. Kinda sad there's no sound, but you can't do everything in 48h

deltanegative 2015-12-15 13:29

Love the look of the water :D

deadpixl 2015-12-15 13:33

Great entry! I really like the art style of the pool. I didn't feel the character matched the pool style. Overall a very fun game.

leafthief 2015-12-15 13:42

Good game. The intro was very well structured and funny but it wasn't until I played the game until I understood how it worked. The mechanics work super good!

dianouille 2015-12-15 14:18

I had a lot of fun playing your game ! Good job !

rhysd 2015-12-15 14:19

The water effect is awesome! The game is also pretty fun. Damn that Carl guy though, I just want to SLUDGE EVERYWHERE >:(

publicidadeba 2015-12-15 14:38

Funny Intro, great idea..some audio would be cool :)

argowen 2015-12-15 14:55

little confusing at first as I didn't read the instructions, still one easy mode without it. Anyway read instruction which was funny. Overall I found the concept and play quite fun.

mistermortal 2015-12-15 15:10

Interesting mechanics, took me a bit to understand what I was doing, but when I did it was quite fun. Awesome! (Sometimes it's quite hard to predict where the ball is going)

david-cookie 2015-12-15 15:20

Well, I think other people already say it all. Really great idea and beautiful water!

renegadeninjanl 2015-12-15 16:39

Nice little game. It was hard to judge the chlorine sometimes though.

nirabazgames 2015-12-15 16:47

An interesting game! Nice graphics but a bit hard to understand the mechanics of the game. Overall very pleased =)

headmade 2015-12-15 16:57

Great water effects and a novel idea. I love the writing, it's hilarious.
My only complaint is the difficulty spike from medium to hard. While I had no problems on medium I failed at hard :(

nuggetteam 2015-12-15 17:04

Original theme! Very innovative too. Good job!

local306 2015-12-15 17:26

Super cool idea! I loved the water physics!

retraffic 2015-12-15 18:51

The water behaviour is amazing, great work!!
The art of the throwing guy could use some work.

ginnko 2015-12-15 19:07

The idea is really good, the water growing. It hasn't really any sense but is really funny to play. God job team!! Loved playing it :-D

ludum34 2015-12-15 19:16

Nice implementation and idea! A little bit easy but you can improve balance

h-attila 2015-12-15 19:45

Woah, really creative, awesome little game! Loved the intro, very surreal and fun idea.

blobo 2015-12-15 19:52

Really well done! the game is very nicely made, and it was fun to play!

endel 2015-12-15 21:15

Really liked the water effect. It can be really hard to guess where the balls are going to fall on hard level.

greebocherry 2015-12-15 21:42

Lack of sound is disturbing, but I'm very impressed by your idea.

xodene 2015-12-15 22:36

Wow, really great job on the mechanics and design. It's very original. I also liked low poly water for once because of the great animation!

dustoutgames 2015-12-15 23:03

I like the innovation showed here. I don't think I've ever played as sewer water before, and it was fun to reject those chlorine pellets. Nice game :)

spirit-2 2015-12-15 23:40

INNOVATIVE :D

zeezgames 2015-12-15 23:42

Well done with this game i like how its done and makes me wonder on some things how you implemented them :)

Well Done!!

markusfisch 2015-12-15 23:49

Very nice gameplay and definitely something different. Never played water before :) And I like the humor! Very good!

adamyounis 2015-12-16 00:00

This game has such an interesting mechanic. It's really fun to "reject" the chlorine bricks but not with the central panel. I developed a pretty viable technique of aiming just in front of where it will land so it continues in the direction it's already going. What was really cool is that it became easier to gauge as I played.

I enjoyed this, though the production values were a bit simple, still a fun experience.

pjimmy 2015-12-16 01:14

cool use of physics, very fun to play, good job :)

noradzero 2015-12-16 01:24

Nice concept! Really challenging. The effect of the water is really fun.

lkpridgeon 2015-12-16 02:06

Needs a little balancing of the overall difficulty curve however nice concept.

gamepopper 2015-12-16 13:28

The water effects and the physics looked cool, plus I liked how it got challenging nearer the end. Quite enjoyed it. :)

lereveur 2015-12-17 00:10

Interesting concept, however, huge difference between medium and high difficulties... But, still a good entry. :)

recursor 2015-12-17 13:56

It is an original idea for a game, and pretty humorous too. I really like the look/feel of the water. Add a few more game-play mechanics, and you may have something really cool here.

domo_demo 2015-12-17 19:59

a little bit difficult, but wow, really nice water effect:)

wevel 2015-12-19 00:08

Seemed like you needed to click quite a bit and could do with some more mechanics, but a cool idea

split82 2015-12-20 16:01

Pretty nice little game. Good job.

bitdecaygames 2015-12-21 01:14

Easy I found to be a little boring, but once I got into medium and hard it became much more engaging. Sometimes the physics are a little strange for how the pellets bounce off of you, but it doesn't take away from the experience. Cool game!

phocker 2015-12-21 04:59

this was neat - i really was not expecting that to be fun - i like the effect for the sludge and it was a unique mechanic - well done

drauthius 2015-12-22 00:35

Nice entry. I like the different challenge levels. I does get noticeably harder. :)

adrian09_01 2015-12-25 13:36

Tough, but fun. Played the web version, the Hard difficulty should be Insane. Only that isometric camera :(

dreamlogician 2016-01-03 02:27

Impressive implementation of a unique concept, with some hilarious writing thrown in as a bonus. One of my favorite entries so far!
