Pixel-based water simulation, gorgeous palettes, a seemingly surf-rock and power-pop punk inspired soundtrack, this game immediately hits all the right buttons for me. And the slightly choppy framerate, intentional or not, only helped sell the Gameboy feeling. Keep a hold on this concept, there's a lot of potential in it for a full release of some kind.
Is the soundtrack available to listen to on its own anywhere?

Snack SluggerA really nice look. My favourite pieces of art were the level selection graphics.

Sludge & SorceryVery nice, I liked the use of the physics and the aesthetic :)
That water effect is amazing, how did you do that?

Help SlimeVery well polished and well rounded game! only found one bug that really didn't allow me to continue properly. If you land upsidown at the finish, the game will lock up and not allow you to progress.
My only big complaint about the game was the text used for the tutorial. It was almost unreadable. Not sure how the text style got so different from the top of the Hud but consider using the same fonts throughout the game.

Ice Cream 4everSuper fun game! I was very impressed. Water and colors are on point! Just like in real life, I found it difficult to make my water jet do any front flips successfully.

Finger HoleMan... that's a terrific job! That physical you used in the water is such amazing.
Love the artwork and animation!
Great entry!!

Shadow of the TitansGorgeous colors, wild water physics, great music and sound. I disappointed trixie so many times, lol. I got a bug (web version) on the second level where the bottom 2/3 of the screen were just solid orange, never could get it to fix itself (tried exiting, restarting, no luck). Still super fun though. Thanks!! -Luke

4AM FOREVERThe best games have fun physics- which this has in spades! I used to play this game called Motocross Maniacs on Game Boy obsessively and this reminded me of it.
It's so fun when you jump at the top of a wave and get a ton of air. I hate hitting corners, though!! Feels like in Sonic when you hit a wall accidentally. But, I suppose, like Sonic, you'll grow to really appreciate each level's paths and can truly go fast.
Please add high scores for time elapsed!
Really awesome! Love the aesthetic, and a super neat concept. Best I've played yet.

Slime TacticsThis looks like a demake of Wave race for the Gameboy, and that's a plus in my book. Amazing job done here! And the graphics are incredible
