This is so crazy.. I actually found this addictive.. I mean not that addictive because I stopped within 10 minutes, but it is the only one I ever bookmarked.

Play it.
 
Lol, the plant started growing up the water stream and made a tree shape.
Edit: until i burn't the fvcker down.
OMFG ??? is 1337

Oil + Plant as a fuse + Fire = FTW
I wish I knew that plant burns faster than cera a minute ago.
 
yay! Recreating oil rig fires ftw!
 
You can make some crazy water destructive eco systems, some real interesting patterns emerge.
 
Holy. ****ing. Shit.

This is outrageously awesome. I'm already hooked.

But how do I get rid of that annoying spinning thing?

Edit: Oh. Duh. Nevermind.

Btw this goes to show you that games really don't need good graphics or top of the line technology to be great. Even though this is more of a simulator, it's still awesome :D
 
The ??? pwnz all.


This is quite interesting, nice little toy.
 
wtf is going on??

edit: Nevermind. Addictive is right.
 
Who knew battling the elements in a java game would be so addictive?

Screenies of interesting creations/scenarios plz!

Too...Damn...Addictive... >_<

Cool little game though.
 
ADDICTED! Awsome game, someone make a Source version of this. Now.

EDIT: DO NOT USE THE PINK "???" THING !!! I found out the hard way. :(
 
How? *Confused*

Sand & salt don't explode, I feel dumb because I know there is such an obvious answer to this.

The sand is there for just a neutral flowing substance that doesn't have special properties. The salt makes the slug shrink. (Water makes it grow)

Behold the awesome sand machine.....thing...
I love making stuff like that :D

I designed a mixing machine that mixed oil and water (1:1 ratio), it collected in a vat, and then I ignited it to see how well it would burn. It burned fairly well as the water evaporated nicely, but the heat was too much for the thin walls of the chamber and we had some severe leakage on to my other experiments, causing more havoc :D

Here's a challenge: You know how water comes from the left, and oil on the right... Well, using only walls, and those natural spouts, try to get the water to collect in a tank on the right, and oil in a tank on the left. I think it's impossible, but there might be a way... All the ways I think of end up mixing the two...

Hehe, perhaps I should have explained a bit more... You see the oil still remains the right-furthest substance. I was pondering if it would be possible to criss-cross the flows of oil and water them mixing together or what-not.
 
The neverending cycle:
my.php


Put in layers of spouts, fill in some plant material and let it grow through the whole thing, then light a fire. The plants grow in water, the fire consumes the plants, which opens up space for the water to start flowing again, which feeds the plant, which provides more fuel for the fire. Leaving the edges open gives the plant room to grow back in and connect all the levels together so the fire can keep spreading back and forth across the screen. I've left this thing running by itself for literally hours, and it's still going.

So cool! :D
 
I think Cera is Wax...

Put a line of cera across the "level" and light the bottom of it on fire, and you've got snow!

P.S. How do You take screenshots of the game?
