Was it Ichor[1][2]? A bit later than the "early Windows" days I think (I remember hearing about it around 2007), but it also matches your description and it was the first thing I thought of after playing the game in the post

I love Ichor!

Back in 2013 I e-mailed the original developers with some WebGL fluid dynamics demos, and asked if they'd be interested in porting Ichor to WebGL, and they were, but it died down soon after.

The Ichor source is on GitHub as well, although it doesn't have a license.

It would be so awesome to have this game ported to WebGL, or even just to GPU in general.

Thanks for posting. I added it to my list. Will try it later if still runs.
Yes! Thank you.
