Dear reader,

Is there any computer game that uses ebb and flood as a game-play mechanism?
Please let us know. We'd love to know about tidal forces in games.

This looks a bit like what we are looking for:

However this ocean tide doesn't rises, floods or ebbs. (That's only one step ahead of this.) But the video shows an example of the concept of tide on a smaller scale, and as a potential game-play mechanism.

This is another example, showing a possible effect of tide:

(This can also mean liquids flowing from one reservoir into another reservoir.)

And the third aspect of tide would be the pressure or weight; As in: the force being transfered to or that pushes against, for example, a water lock, a barrier, or a floodgate. Or simply the mass of the volume itself being weighed.

Rejoice! We've finally found something:

This seems to have tidal waves, and it also seems to form part of the game-play.
