Author's Description: There's a terrible storm and your mom's roof has begun to leak. You must try to save her house from flooding ... good luck!

This game was written for the 2002 Allegro Speedhack competition. You can either play it yourself, or watch the computer. It also stores your latest game so you can replay it.

Includes IT music support via the DUMB library and also supports force feedback joysticks.

The game itself is a remake of a C64 game I have, so it has huge retro feel to it.

Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 7.5
  • 9Your ability to emulate good classics amazes me.
  • 6Works fine under Linux. Should add a CRLF on end of 'leverton.cc' string. What about a help screen/menu for keys, playback, credits, etc. Also, the drops shouldn't be so far apart that the guy can't get them, otherwise, increase the speed at which he can move.
