Catch falling drips from a row of taps in this Lithuanian title that wouldn't be out of place on a handheld electronic game. No instructions are provided and indeed none are needed. Just use keys 1-5 to position your bucket under the corresponding tap in order to catch the dripping water.

If you miss a drip, then it will drain away into a container on the left of the screen, filling it a bit further. When that container eventually overflows, the game is lost. To start off with there are just two taps turned on and game is easily manageable at the slow "level 0". However, the level increases after every ten drips succesfully collected, speeding the game up a little more each time. By the time you get to level 9, it's running pretty fast.

After completing all 10 levels, another tap opens, and so on. It gets quite difficult just with four taps open, so I'd imagine with all five eventually open it must be a real challenge. It's an enjoyable if simple fast-action arcade game to keep you on your toes for a few minutes. It is written in complied BASIC.
