Then I just blew the crap out of everything! :) That was pretty fun, but the frame rate seemed to lag pretty significantly. I imagine each of those blocks might have been doing a bit too much causing the game to run a bit slowly.

The water physics especially look like a tricky thing to implement, good work on that! The puzzle solving is fun.
