This is basically a game with just 4 falling streams, one of water, one of salt, one of oil, and one of sand, and theres no real point to it (its like a zen garden),yet its really addicting.

You can build walls, cera (like the walls, but burns slowly, note: I just found out that cera means wax in latin (found out on the fark thread where the low-res originally was posted)), create fire, plants, any of the 4 main "ingredients" whereever you want, and spouts (water falls from them).

*Fire burns oil very quickly, plants at medium speed, and cera slowly
*The namekuji (that tan blob thing, namekuji means slug in Japanese (also found in the fark thread)) grows as you put water on it and shrinks as you put salt on it
*the ??? tool is like a wave of destruction
*make sure your browser can use Java, beacuse the game is a java applet that runs in the window

I'm loving this, who else is addicted?

I remember the original to this game, it was just called sand, and you could build it up with only walls and direct where you wanted the sand to go. I got everyone in the computer lab hooked on it. This is certainly a lot more customizeable game.

Pretty interesting. Too bad music isnt included in it though. Some new age hippy stuff would seem to work or some light Japanese music with the flute (dont know its official name) would fit nicely.

Try some Blue Man Group. Strangely soothing.

Holy Christ. That is the coolest java game evar. I'm adicted. And I don't know if it's really appropriate, but I've got Blondie playing. :lol:
