Flash Flood

Water drips from the ceiling of your basement. Walk left and right with the bucket held over your head and catch the drops, up to four falling at once. A full bucket holds 23 drops and catches no more, so empty it into the drain at the right edge. Every drop that reaches the floor raises the pool under the catwalk; when 26 have been missed and the water rises past the catwalk, the game is over. Each drop caught scores 10 times the level, and every 10,000 points the basement drains. A level brings 24 to 31 drops, and they fall faster on each of the 20 levels.

Controls: The stick left and right walks (either controller). A button starts.
