I got 3mins 28s before drowning and then it said "you tire faster than you think at sea. Always wear a life jacket." I'm gonna go with it being an interesting PSA.

How do you even try to stay afloat? I get 0.

EDIT: Ok, you scroll up. For some reason, it didn't work for me last time I've seen this.

5m02s. But you cannot win in this (not)game. Splendidly done.

If you've got a mouse with a scroll wheel, scroll "down" constantly to stay afloat
I'll bet I could cheat it with WebDriver or something, but I'm not that industrious.
I simply did:

    sleep 5; while true; do xdotool click 4; sleep 0.01; done
(The sleep 5 at the beginning is to have time to switch to a different window and put it fullscreen.)
Did it work? Does he get rescued? Is bash better than a life jacket?
