The system is pretty simple: Theres a water plane with a trigger - when an object enters it, it caches the water plane's Y position ( from trigger transform)

Each object has a set of stability points -just one for small objects, or multiple for larger platforms. A force is applied at each point to keep them floating at the cached water height + a per-object offset you can tweak manually

And obviously, if the object is already grounded within the target height range - no forces are applied at all

Yes, the game has a native Linux build on Steam 😁 It also runs smoothly on the SteamDeck!

Barely Breathing is a 3D Physics-based Puzzle/Platformer, where you play as a cute cozy goldfish jumping around pots, knocking over water glasses, to try and get out of the house.
