Splashback game
Fill blobs of goo from your tank until they explode. The then will cause others around them to explode. Clear as many levels as you can before your tank is empty.
Click on a blob to put another drop on it. When a blob is overfilled it will explode and throw out drops up, down, left and right. Get a big enough chain reaction and you begin to refill your tank! It’s a great game, I love it!
