Time is displayed as seconds on the bottom of the screen in the right corner (Fig 4.) and number of puzzle is displayed on the top of the screen in the right corner (Fig 1.).

If you fall into the water your time reduces by 5 seconds and you'll get back to place where you just falled.

Be carefull when you push the crates, because you can only move one crate at the time. You can also push a crate into the water and when you have pushed two crates into the same place you can walk over them. It's forms like a bridge.
