I just thought it was a little sandbox thing to play with. Anyways, I really like the art, the whale is pretty adorable :]\r\rI had a lot of fun repeatedly clicking and making the whale fly above water, I even got him on top of a boat haha. Even if there's no goal, the game is pretty fun to play around with, especially with the sound effects.\rThough it'd be nice to have a goal or something to do. If there was one and I missed it, maybe a bit more communication for those of us who don't get it?\r\rOverall, it's a cute, fun, little game :]"},{"author_name":"Crowbeak","author_uid":"16689","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 9:55am","epoch":1398765000,"text":"The game isn't loading for me in either Firefox or Chrome.
