Help Bob escape the sinking ship. Drag him to the nearest stairs. You only have ten seconds to complete each level. However, time only runs out while you are actually moving Bob. So let go of him to stop the time.

Very awesome work! I like how it's kind of "turn-based" in that time only passes when you're dragging. :)
Solid game, but frantic! When I move the cursor around on a desktop computer it will slip off, but that's a slight issue nevertheless.
It took me something like 10 seconds :D .. to find out how to play this. Great idea!
To run in on Windows, you need to have Java installed. Then you should be able to just double click the .jar file to run it.
The character would sometimes glitch through walls. Apart from that, nice little game. :)
I like the game, very simple and well done; good use of the theme. I included it in part 2 of my LD27 compilation, if you would like to check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxp6zWGaGM
Simple and fun! I ended up exploring the entire floor before achieving the impossible.
Yes, thank your wife for letting you make this really good game for us =)
Great idea for controlling! Ideally, the water should rise only when I move the character, not by holding my mouse button down. Just a suggestion though, the game's good none-of-the-less!
The clicking was a bit tedious, but it was a neat idea. Just so you know, you can drag him far beyond the window and it doesn't seem to complain, which can let you drop him behind walls. I may have cheated a bit on Level 6 >_>
The graphics are very nice. A bit glitchy but very solid entry!
@thegrimace Thanks for pointing out the problem. I really didn't test for that during development. I assumed that players would be on a phone and couldn't drag outside the play area. Guess I should limit the drag area to the visible space to make it work on the desktop :)
A little glitchy but a nice design and a smart concept. Good work!
Managed to beat it without wall-glitching ^_^
It took me a while to find out to know where to go in lv6. (Thanks soooo much for not letting me restart at level 1 upon drowning - and purposefully walking into the electrical machine)

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Impossible Achieved, very clean graphics
