(posting under Solifuge's account) \r\rUnlike the others, I somehow had no trouble with getting stuck on the walls. I like this concept--seems like I could get addicted to it pretty easily as a flash game, for example--but I found the level design a bit too samey, and the difficulty didn't really seem to increase too much. Sure, there were more bubbles on later levels, but the number and placement of kelp remained about the same, and I didn't have to go out of my way to get the pearls--it was really a "dodge the bubbles as you try to get to the end of the level" game, more than a collection game. I got to level 4 without losing any lives or even really worrying about it.\r\rHowever, I think that the basic concept, applied to some more careful (perhaps non-procedural) level design, could really be a lot of fun."},{"author_name":"BlazeCell","author_uid":"21827","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 3:14am","epoch":1398913740,"text":"Why do bubbles suck your air away?
