There is a visual bug when red eyes are close, but that doesnt affect gameplay, and its understandable on compo games :)"},{"author_name":"Anny","author_uid":"31472","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 10:42pm","epoch":1398724620,"text":"I really liked the game, but I don't relate it too much to the theme"},{"author_name":"eowindil","author_uid":"35732","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 9:09pm","epoch":1398891840,"text":"The mechanic is interesting, and quite hard but the attack movement is, I think, too wide."},{"author_name":"Snoother","author_uid":"33841","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 9:11pm","epoch":1398891960,"text":"Yeah, once I grasped the mechanic it became really fun.

The gameplay is not bad, but I found myself just sticking to the top of the screen most of the time. I do think there is potential in this idea if you wanted to keep working on it. Not really anything to do with the theme though, as far as I could tell?"},{"author_name":"Esenti","author_uid":"18885","time":"May 16, 2014 @ 9:51pm","epoch":1400276760,"text":"Thanks for all the comments! Well, the basic idea for connection with the theme is that the game takes place somewhere "beneath the surface" of an ocean, hence all the darkness and things.

I like the idea of the game, it kept me playing for a couple of minutes.
