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.

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

Awesome! Very innovative. Cool little mini game

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

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

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!

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

Nice! Very original execution of the theme.

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.

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

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

Unique concept, kind of feels like juggling multiballs in pinball. Love the isometric graphics. Nice job :)
TeamKawaiiju15 Dec 2015, 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

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!

Nice mini game you have there! =D

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!

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

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

Good job.

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

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.

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!

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

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

Funny Intro, great idea..some audio would be cool :)
argowen15 Dec 2015, 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.
MisterMortal15 Dec 2015, 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)

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

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

An interesting game! Nice graphics but a bit hard to understand the mechanics of the game. Overall very pleased =)
Headmade15 Dec 2015, 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 :(

Super cool idea! I loved the water physics!
GoodwolfStudio15 Dec 2015, 18:51
The water behaviour is amazing, great work!!
The art of the throwing guy could use some work.
Simplest15 Dec 2015, 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

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

endel15 Dec 2015, 21:15
Really liked the water effect. It can be really hard to guess where the balls are going to fall on hard level.
greeboCherry15 Dec 2015, 21:42
Lack of sound is disturbing, but I'm very impressed by your idea.

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!
Garris15 Dec 2015, 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 :)

INNOVATIVE :D
Zeezgames15 Dec 2015, 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!!

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

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.

Nice concept! Really challenging. The effect of the water is really fun.
lkpridgeon16 Dec 2015, 02:06
Needs a little balancing of the overall difficulty curve however nice concept.

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

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

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_demo17 Dec 2015, 19:59
a little bit difficult, but wow, really nice water effect:)

Pretty nice little game. Good job.
bitdecaygames21 Dec 2015, 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!
sP0CkEr221 Dec 2015, 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

Nice entry. I like the different challenge levels. I does get noticeably harder. :)
adrian09_0125 Dec 2015, 13:36
Tough, but fun. Played the web version, the Hard difficulty should be Insane. Only that isometric camera :(

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