A game of risk vs reward as balance yourself above water. Keeping blocks rewards with score multipliers. Pushing them overboard rewards with not risking the platform. The longer you last, the more you score.
Presented in stunning 4-color CGA at a whopping 320x240!

While I made everything else from scratch, I had made the music long before but never published so I re-arranged them then plugged them in here. I was going to make real AdLib music, but DOSBox was being a pain in the butt to work with, so faux-retro is the closest I could do.

Honestly the game is fantastic. Controls feels nice, physics look good, feels like an actual retro game, music is fantastic. Good job!

Woo, managed to get over 2M!

Really cute game. Music, art, color scheme, all go well together. Gameplay is simple, but well tuned and responsive---always felt like the beam was tilting how I meant it to go.

I don't like seeing the rabbit drown though :( :( :(

I like the screen swipes in the options menu.

Cool mix of old school graphics and modern physics.

Very strong presentation, the gameplay is minimal but polished well and feels good.
