Gameplay, animation, movement and feedback is top notch! A very well crafted experience!
There were some bugs if I may report; Mainly a noticeable dip in fps when going fullscreen (gave me sever input lag due to it so I had to remove it)
And on the 3rd Mission (the one with multiple beds going up and down) when I completed it I got transported into a room filled with water and I just endlessly float in it with no movement input.
One last thing is; I highly suggest considering a brightness meter for this game, for players to adjust according to their monitors, I got stuck in the first level mainly due to not being able to see the exit right next to me. Not a game issue and 100% a monitor thing.
All in all well done mate!

The animations and movement feel so smooth! Amazing work!
Cool game! I think the usage of bombs were a great idea to set up the rising water. You feel safe at first and then the tension kicks in when you learn that you're the one who sprung the leak
This is a fun platformer. I like the water rising mechanic and I think it's cool that it starts rising once you blow up one of the barrels and spring a leak. The art is great and the player controls well. I do think it's a bit too dark, it was kinda hard to see some of the platforms on my monitor. Great job on this it is fun!
I liked it, the idea of the water exploding on you and having to leave the area is really nice. Loved the overall atmosphere. The camera movement to certain areas when you get there is really well done. Having to avoid falling in the water is fun, and the controls are pretty good. Overall very nice job!
Great controlling. Remind me level from Ori where you should climb up when water fills level :)
But I an not sure, after level 3 should be something or it is end?
Great game! I just wish it was longer! this style has a ton of potential, I hope to see more levels in the future
Love the character control! I like it when they are fast. Also, great look! :)
cool water and light effects, beautiful lores pixelart that stands out, a bit dark but the contrast allows us to see the important stuff
Good game!, you could have added more levels because it felt very short. The graphics are a 10/10, it's a shame I can't rate them. Adding some more sounds would have also improved the score. Even though it's short, it's entertaining.
