Goal

Play as Lily and try to destroy Finn's sandcastle by drawing paths in the sand to guide the ocean water to wreck the sand castle. The faster the water hits the castle, the more damage and more points you get. You have until the day is over indicated by the sun timer in the top left. Destroy all parts of the castle to win!

There are various power-ups. They are all activated by hitting them with water.

• Crab: launches at the castle and does damage
• Clam: creates an explosion of water from it
• Conch: harnesses the power of the sea - makes the ocean waves more frequent and more powerful for a brief time (timer in bottom right)
• Starfish: creates a path in the sand to the castle (new addition since game jam)
• Poison: NEGATIVE - erases all your paths in the sand

Controls

This game supports touchscreen. Simply draw a path in the sand with your finger. You can also use a mouse to draw.
