I have to admit some of things about this game that people and myself like so much were flukes\/bugs. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Think if I went back I'd change some things like only getting health back on killing and not munching. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also there is a bug at the bottom of the sea where you can go under the sand if you are on the far left or right.

It was quite fun swimming around, but a little too hard to direct the shark. Especially since it seemed like you would only green-eat when hitting prey head-on with the mouth. An alternative way of control worth testing would be to let the shark home in on the mouse\/touch pointer. Nice for pads and such if you have those ambitions.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A bit clearer explanation about the importance of the mouth and that all things can hurt you would have been nice. In fact it felt a bit unfair that shark always took the hit if collided with any object (not with mouth). At least both should take damage. Or none. To make it fair.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Another thing to consider is to start out with fewer animals in the water and have them become attracted to the blood so game gets progressively harder yet can start at something relatively harmless (like you and a surfer and a gull).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice first game. Hope you liked the LD-experience and will do more."},{"author_name":"xdegtyarev","author_uid":"5862","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 3:43pm","epoch":1399045080,"text":"Addictive!"},{"author_name":"GreatBigJerk","author_uid":"36263","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 4:09pm","epoch":1399133040,"text":"I can't get past the main menu on the web version."},{"author_name":"nesis","author_uid":"2726","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 4:11pm","epoch":1399133160,"text":"A fun, simple game fitting the theme.
