Reason

I evaluated the game’s overall high level of perfection such as its ease of understanding that requires no explanation, its stress-free operability, its careful stage structure with a combination of geysers and gimmicks, and its user-friendly design including retry points and a hint mode.
On the other hand, there were a few concerns: the lack of thematic focus on this award’s theme of “sound,” the unclear purpose of the game as a whole, the lack of explanation of the main character, the lack of exhilaration, and the lack of mechanisms to make me want to play a second round.
Improvement means that the team has potential for growth. I hope that they will continue to hone their skills to become good creators who can look at the whole game from a bird's eye view, not just its one aspect, and create works that captivate game fans around the world.
Thank you for letting me play your fun game.

Work Introdution

In this game, the sound of the theme is the “sound of water bursting.”
An action game where a hero with a mysterious pickel in his hand overcomes obstacles in a stage by handling a geyser.
A player uses natural geysers and those digged out by himself/herself with his/her own pickel to ride the current, climb over walls and move sideways for the finish line.
The entrant takes the sound of the theme as the “sound of water bursting” and associated it with a geyser.
Depending on various obstacles, the different momentum of the geyser caused by the charge time and the combination of vertical and horizontal blowing directions are key to win the stage.
The game presents 75 stages in total with different worldviews and gimmicks.
This voluminous game is full of originality.
