Push Back

By Erik Sombroek and Lomateron · 2019

Play:

Touch: Drag across the water to create a current · Keyboard: Mouse drag (no keyboard required)

About:

A js13k 2019 competition entry (ranked 4th of 200, winner of that year's Mobile category) whose entire puzzle mechanic is a real-time fluid dynamics simulation. Reviewed on leetdom — touch drag and mouse drag were tested independently and produced identical current-creation behaviour. Installed from the competition's own frozen build since the developer's GitHub repository ships an incomplete dist/ folder with a missing script file.
