Okay, so in this little game you shoot balls from a slingshot at floating squares. When the balls hit the squares they bounce about in what seems to me like a physically correct way. After playing a while the game seems to freeze, at least on my computer.

Not much to say about the game gameplay wise, since it isn\'t finished. The slingshot works well however, it looks smooth and aming with the mouse works well.

In this game you control some sort of a water being fighting earth for world domination by drowning everything in your way.

At first the game is a bit tricky to understand, it\'s not obvious how the game play works, but after a while you realize you have to kill each earth being to advance to the next level. Killing is done by simply colliding with a being.

As the player strives for world domination the world domination rule has been covered, although I find the battle between water and earth a bit lame as a world domination theme. By killing earth beings, and covering earth with water, the destruction rule is covered, but you never really get the feeling of destroying stuff, more a feeling of painting a window with a blue palette. Between each level a text message is displayed insulting you as a water being which I guess covers the dialogue rule, although a simple text message isn\'t really a dialogue, it\'s a monologue as there is no reply from the player (automatic or by the actual player). The art and gfxs of the game are not very impressive but serves it\'s purpose.

One thing that bugs me with this game is that it doesn\'t seem to have a decent timer implemented, as it sometimes changes running speed from running very slow to running very fast for a short time, but most of the time it runs terribly slow. The game would have been much nicer with a faster pace.

The good thing about this game is that it\'s actually a finished game! There are a set of levels (I think it\'s four, I\'ve always died on the fourth level so I\'m not sure), there is a high score list so you can beat your records and the flow of the game works nicely. A complete game in TINS is always impressive!
