A crate-pushing puzzle with a clock made of water, solve each room before the rising tide floats your crates off and drowns your path.

How to play
Push crates onto their target tiles, one shove at a time, with no pulling, the classic crate-sorting puzzle. But the water level keeps rising in real time: flooded crates float and drift, and deep water is deadly to you, so you have to solve the layout under genuine time pressure rather than at your leisure.
Walk into a crate to push it; you can only push, never pull.
Land every crate on its goal tile to clear the room.
Beat the rising tide, water floats crates and drowns you if it gets too deep.

Hand-built and seeded levels with verified solutions.

Tips & strategy
Plan the whole solution before you start, pushing a crate into a corner with no escape is a dead end.
Move the crates the water will reach first; rescue the threatened ones before they drift.
Use higher dry ground as a staging area while the lower tiles flood.
