Java Rising Water Game

[lilHatch]

Alright, so I was thinking of a new game idea called "Rising Water" or "Rising Lava" or something like that. Anyways the basic idea of the game is that there are 4 - 8 players on a map. Each map is just a tube or square that is around maybe 40 blocks through the center, up and across. The in the map there are floating bits of land with chests on them, or maybe even mobs to make things more interesting.
GAMEPLAY
Then players start joining the game and a timer starts and player are released into the map which is mainly flat at the bottom, with maybe a few chests containing building blocks and weapons.
So all the players get items and start building up towards the top and try to hit people off, maybe 15 seconds after the start, water starts coming in layer by layer at the bottom, slowly coming up. If any player falls down and hits the water, they instantly die and are eliminated. If any players reach the top there will be barrier blocks or something keeping them inside so they have to PVP till there is a winner.
KITS
So before the game starts and players are waiting, they can choose kits like how Eggwars, Skywars, etc. do it.
-Farmer
Has 16 eggs in inventory to knock people off, a bucket of milk to fight off potions, and a stone sword
-Mod Spawner
3 skeleton eggs, 3 zombie eggs, and a wooden sword (mobs only target other players
-Potion Brewer
1 potion of poison, 1 potion of instant healing, and a golden apple
-Snowman
2 blocks of snow, a pumpkin, 16 snowballs, a diamond shovel
-BucketMan
1 bucket of water which instantly kills like normal water, maybe it should be lava so it's not too OP

Some of the kits might be a little unbalanced but it's hard to tell without gameplay

Yeah pretty much, except less spread out, no islands or anything, just one big area where you can knock people off and PVP

It's not really just to build to a safe spot but prevent other people from getting there as well, you can start killing players right away before anyone even has a chance to get that high

This could be a MinerWare boss game, I don't see it becoming a separate minigame.

nice thing first i would say rising lava because that is a cooler name than rising water. second i would say not 15 i would say around 30 second or 60 seconds meby longer. players need to get some lood to build up and defent them self. if they only have 15 seconds.

Don't like the hole idea, so I disagree with this
