Fix leaks before your ship sinks in this simple game combining match-3 like mechanics and packing. Your ship is sinking, that's inevitable. But, do you know what else is inevitable? Those giant blobs of one color that never fit anywhere useful.

I had a working prototype in about 45 minutes that surprisingly looks very similar to my end result! I tried some different visual styles along the way, but decided the simple elegance of my solid color boxes in the prototype actually felt better for this particle game, so decided to stick with simplicity =). Lots of time on polish on this one, and even got to add some music and musical sound effects, but I don't really like how they turned out - feel free to mute them!
