Rising Damp

The roof of your house is leaking, but if you move your bucket quickly, you can catch the raindrops before they rot the floor, causing your bucket to fall through to the basement.

Use the cursor key to control your bucket. For each drop of water you catch, you score one point; for each one you miss, your floor becomes five units weaker. If the floor has not rotted at the end of one minute, a carpenter will arrive to strengthen it for you but the game becomes more difficult after that.

Rising Damp was written for the BBC B by Simon Rear of Immingham, Humberside.
