So this was a bit of a pain to put together. At least more than I thought it would be.
You play Stubbs, who has to escape from a tower slowly filling with water. There... really isn't any backstory to this. JUST MAKE BELIEVE. Ride the water upwards and try to avoid the platforms. If you hit one, catch up with the water or make it to an exit before Stubbs' tiny little lungs run out of air!
Arrow keys to move above, on and below water.
It was put together in AS3 using Flashpunk (if I'd had more time and not been about to fall asleep on my keyboard, I'd have included the flashpunk splash page). I used GraphicsGale for pixel art, Ableton Live 8 for music, OgmoEditor for maps.
I don't really know how fun it is to play. I'm really just glad that I managed to get it finished!
NOTE: There is a bug where once you reach the top of the level, you can't swim below the top half of the screen. Because of that you won't be able to get to a couple of the exits (the map sections switch around when the map is loaded, so you might not come across this problem). There's a bugfix version that I've linked to where this is fixed, but the competition version comes with the bug.
