Nice use of lighting effects, something that works well in deep water zones. Didn't feel much danger due to no health/consequence of hitting things (that I saw). Liked the sonar mechanic very much.

There's no tension to the complete lack of damage. The lightning is nice, and the sonar is a really good idea, if only it had a *PING* sound, that would have been jackpot

Good graphical effects, but I didn't feel like I had to do anything to win. I just kept falling until my score was 0.

"Java runtime environment not valid"

I have a 64 bit windows computer. I do have java 1.7.0_51 installed, but my assumption was that as an exe it wouldn't matter what version of java I have.

If it's built with java, and you can host a .jar file I can probably run it.

If this is Java, (see above comment), why no Linux (or Mac) versions?

very nice visuals, but nothing else. There's no gameplay. It's not a game without gameplay :(
