Waterdown

Waterdown puts you in control of a kitchen faucet with a physics engine underneath: swipe to aim the water stream, hold to blast, and push every piece of trash into the sink hole before the timer empties. Release stops the flow, and learning to feather the stream — short bursts instead of a constant jet — is the difference between herding trash and scattering it. The trash pieces have real weight and shape, so a bottle rolls differently from a crumpled wrapper, and later levels arrange them so a careless blast wedges something into a corner the stream can barely reach. That physics honesty is the game's actual challenge; the faucet is easy, the geometry is not. Levels run under a minute each, which makes it a natural queue-timer game. It plays equally well with a mouse or on a touchscreen, and there is no fail state beyond replaying a 40-second level.
