Drip (2011)

The first game I ever made!

I made this puzzle game back in my second year of college using SDL and C++ with no game engine. At the time I didn't even know you had to regulate framerate based on time, so the drip goes really fast nowadays.

YOUR COMPUTER MAY QUARANTINE THIS FILE. The exe is unsigned and contains DLLs and stuff I probably won't bother to fix that. If you're worried, I assure you that you aren't missing much. Who knows, maybe one day I'll revisit and remake this one for old-time's sake.

There's also no tutorial. Here's the how-to-play:

The goal of the game is to get rid of all the drips on the screen.

On the right panel, you will see a box labeled 'Drips Left.' On the play grid you will see drips that almost make a group of 4 (2x2.) You can click to fill in the missing drips to form a larger drop of water that will clear out all drips beneath it.

There are two arrows in the bottom right of the screen. These arrows rotate the playing field so your drips can fall in different directions, collecting otherwise unreachable drips on the screen.

Green drips, when collected, add one to the 'Drips Left' total. You will need to collect the green drips to keep playing.

Gold drips add more to your score than Blue drips (not that that matters in version 1.)  The first few levels use blue drips to indicate good places to start, but after that, they may throw you off instead.
