Comment (by sluicebox):

 It's not obvious, but the drips are working and I don't see any
 differences from the original. I set breakpoints in the debugger to
 confirm that each drip was able to kill, and compared them with the
 original. Usually, you have to stand higher than you'd think to get hit.

 The drips have very small collision rectangles and they have to overlap
 with the very center of your invisible standing rectangle at the moment
 they hit the ground. I was just reminded that the solution to this
 "puzzle" is to just walk in front of the whole thing, where no drips can
 get you.

 Some context for this SCI remake: The Two Guys From Andromeda weren't
 involved, and only found out about it when it was done. Scott Murphy has
 tweeted about this. He does not recognize it as a real Space Quest. That
 explains a lot!

 Maybe you're seeing something I'm missing? Have you compared with the
 original? If we're doing something different then that's a problem, but if
 it's just a lame puzzle, then that's the way it is. =)
