Game: PushPush Cartoon

PushPush Cartoon 1.1 (1 MB), A wonderful game with a refreshing idea of using cartoons as characters. Highly recommended (educational). Screenshots one and two. Homepage.

Since the game comes with minimal instructions, i hope this helps: In this game, you move the cartoon around puzzles, and try to gather all the water into a jug. Move the cartoon character behind the jug, and use the command key to push the jug towards the water droplet (collecting water). The longer you push the command key, the more strength in your push. You can get more instructions here.
