The Drowning Man by stoo
The Drowning Man is trapped beneath the ice of a frozen river. You must help him swim to safety, avoiding the nasty looking fish and floating debris. Guide him to the holes in the ice to help him survive.

Its simple, plays well and I like the music.
Good game
The game's a little hard (no thanks to the evil piranha).
Nice music!
The music was great too. :)
A lot of fun, also bonus points for the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy quote! :D
Quite nice game overall. Good job! :)
I like the music, it's really catchy.
The graphics are mostly OK and do their job. The swim animation of the player would simply look better if the gradient wouldn't be flipping sides with him.
Another font (and maybe another font color) would have done great on this. Oh and the ice also could have various transparency - this would create a nice effect!
All in all a cool idea and good music!
