I like that there are many little touches like the sounds and the animations on everything. The deviation of this from the regular formulas prevent it from it being just another one yet is familiar enough to be immediate. Good one for the scope! :)\r\rSome of the stuff could do with a bit more design but such is a 48 hour jam :)"},{"author_name":"Jan Peter (jpdev)","author_uid":"34367","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 2:51pm","epoch":1398696360,"text":"i enjoyed it, cool game.\rbut somehow I did not manage to kill boats (I just thumbed on the deck from above) but hey, I ate many birds!\r\rI hope eating some birds makes up for all the sharks I blew up while making my game ;)"},{"author_name":"Tanner","author_uid":"26780","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 2:57pm","epoch":1398696720,"text":"This graphics are really cool!"},{"author_name":"Cambrian_Man","author_uid":"4198","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 2:19am","epoch":1398737640,"text":"I managed to get 150 once I figured out the controls... shows what I get for not paying attention.

There could have been a springy-feeling to the dot so it stopped going further away from shark when it reach the maxSharkJump amount.\rIt took me a while to realize it really wasn't a game about eating birds but eating boats -- point-wise too.\r\rOne way I think the game could improve a bit is if the shark would start its next jump from where it landed. That way, how you handle the boats becomes a bit different. You could simply have the shark wrap around the world on the x-axis. And on that matter, it was a bit frustrating to have the shark go out of screen and would have been nice to have the camera track the shark as it flew high up.\r\rFinally, I didn't understand or see any meter for the number of jumps left. A nice way to show that could have been to have the sun set a little every jump made (or go by play-time).\r\r(And btw, I like lengthy comments)"},{"author_name":"snooze82","author_uid":"12061","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 12:03pm","epoch":1399031880,"text":"liked the gfx, neat concept - sometimes a ship appeared directly in front of my flying shark"},{"author_name":"stvr","author_uid":"26473","time":"May 4, 2014 @ 3:02am","epoch":1399172220,"text":"Does this game play a sound of you breathing?
