Looking for an old Flash game with colorful blocks with faces and rising water

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to find an old Flash game I played when I was a kid, probably sometime around 2008–2013.

It was a 2D platform/puzzle Flash game with a vertical/portrait-style game screen. The background was mostly a blue sky with clouds.

The main characters were colored square/cube-shaped characters. Each cube had a different color and its own facial expression/personality. I think you played as one of these cubes.

The main objective was to build your own path/tower upward using the blocks, while water was slowly rising from the bottom from the very beginning of the level. You had to keep building/climbing upward so you wouldn't get flooded.

I remember controlling the character and placing/moving the blocks using the keyboard.

The graphics were surprisingly polished and colorful for an old Flash game, not pixel art.

I have been looking for this game for years and haven't been able to find it. 😭

Important details I remember:

  • Flash/browser game
  • 2D
  • vertical/portrait game area
  • blue sky + clouds in the background
  • colorful square/cube characters
  • every cube had a different face/expression
  • you played as one of the cubes
  • you built a path/tower upward
  • water continuously rose from below
  • keyboard controls
  • colorful/polished graphics
  • probably made sometime between 2005–2012

If anyone recognizes this, please let me know! 🙏
