Test how much water you can hold in a tiny island when erosion is continuously trying to wash the land away.
Goal is to build a walls for a pool where water is continuously rising...

Controls:
Click on ground and drag mouse to modify the map
Right click to control camera with mouse
WASD moves camera
Q/E rotates camera

This is a bit weird game, more like a toy than game :)
I had different game planned, but water mechanics took wayyy too long to implement and had to change plans drastically

Ah, a game after my own heart! I think I got to 70 height and ran out of water or something, but very cool, nice and smooth framerate, and cool jiggle water physics, A++!

Nice physics and idea. The gameplay together with the music created a very relaxing atmosphere.

Fun simulator! Could be expanded in a lot of cool directions. Respect at getting the mechanics and physics working so well.

It would be cool if the neighbouring points were raised a bit as well when you created a mountain - though it would probably need faster erosion to balance it out.

Funny idea! Really tedious to play but it was fun anyway :D

Try to make smaller pools to get better highscores ;)

Interesting idea. Plays well once you work out how it works.

I must've been playing for almost half an hour, I don't know why, but it was fun!

Highscore of 148. I don't even know why I enjoyed it so immensely. But I have to say, this really was surprisingly good.

Great game, very innovative idea! Managed to get over 200.
