Took a little while to get used to the swan-control but it was surprisingly fun once I figured it out. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I would guess if something be added it would be soundtrack and giving the foods graphics a bit more love, water surface rippling effects so food doesn't simply appear out of nowhere, some shakes and the general stuff to spice it up even some more.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>There's nothing like an on-line leader board either to get peoples attention."},{"author_name":"micdoodle8","author_uid":"36649","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 7:47pm","epoch":1398714120,"text":"Nice job, I like the visual style.
