I started the game without a mouse and thought the controls are torture. Also the game got boring really fast. I read a few of the comments and was surprised that others had actually a lot of fun playing your game. So I searched for a mouse and was surprised that the game experience totally changed while using it. With a mouse the game is fun to play and doesn't get boring. The ending is quite fun, but after finding the head, I expected a slightly different one: A big fish jumps out of the water and attacks the player. After the separated body parts fell in the water the ice is slowly closing again and the next innocent fisherman comes along. So the story starts all over again."},{"author_name":"mcapraro","author_uid":"28472","time":"May 10, 2014 @ 2:44pm","epoch":1399732740,"text":"i really liked this game. it was ultra simple and the pace was very slow, which is nice actually. great job!"},{"author_name":"GeorgeBroussard","author_uid":"8631","time":"May 10, 2014 @ 3:19pm","epoch":1399734840,"text":"Very slick and nice game.
