This paper motivates the theme only. The game's salt relocation and discrete water rules are fictional; they do not simulate the paper's reverse electrodialysis device.
GitHub scientific reference ONLY: https://github.com/watertap-org/watertap — 120 observed stars, permissive three-clause BSD-style License Agreement with an optional-contributions clause; latest commit November 5, 2026. No code or assets from that project are included. WaterTAP is a Python research platform, not a browser game. Original-game fallback follows duplicate and unsuitable browser-game candidates.
Rejected catalog duplicate: https://github.com/maxwellito/breaklock — 331 stars, MIT, latest commit October 21, 2026.
Other rejected candidates: sandspiel, jungle-trail, seriesoftubes (catalog duplicates); WorldGuessr (custom license and external maps); Rogule (daily dungeon crawler overlaps catalog dungeon games and adds AGPL packaging obligations).
Source kind: original. Full readable source in game.mjs, engine.mjs, levels.mjs, style.css and index.html.
