The animation on the birdfish is cool and I like the super attack bit (though the super attack should probably drain some more oxygen\/water)."},{"author_name":"Pietro Ferrantelli","author_uid":"30677","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 3:16pm","epoch":1398697860,"text":"When I saw the title of your game, I thought : "Oh no, a Flappy-Bird-like", but in reality I had a lot of fun !I love the mecanics and the use of the theme.

I too was expecting a flappy bird game, and it was different from that, reminded me of the game I created for this game :). The mechanic is well thought out."},{"author_name":"smikulcik","author_uid":"37175","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:11pm","epoch":1398704760,"text":"Great idea. I like the flying fish.

I had trouble managing so many things at once, though. Keeping a lookout for the water and oxygen and shooting and dodging. Mainly used the x attack, z was kinda pointless. But it was fun!"},{"author_name":"Dramentiaras","author_uid":"29135","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 5:57am","epoch":1398750720,"text":"DesignerNap: Do you have Java installed?

I like the idea of balancing the oxygen and water. It feels like the bird and fish sprites were flipped, but that might be intentional. It's a bit primitive and lacks sound and particles, but this can just be attributed to a lack of time. Very nice!"},{"author_name":"MintArcade","author_uid":"35966","time":"May 5, 2014 @ 10:27am","epoch":1399285320,"text":"Nice mechanistic, great use of surface theme."}],"images":["ld29\/29135-b4cc6b55097ab34f4051a33e67664d85.jpg","ld29\/29135-da29dcc7640b3b67e951b805db176b48.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/uxd74an5sm4zces\/birdfish.exe","text":"Windows (.EXE)"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/qfuhf9k44h8k4hd\/birdfish.jar","text":"OS\/X | Linux | Windows (.JAR)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Dramentiaras\/Birdfish","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"20386","g_author":"29135","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"20415","g_title":"Birdfish","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"258","g_commentcount":"17","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/29135-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/29135-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is my entry for the 29:th Ludum Dare.\r\nI was only able to work on Saturday since I was busy the entirety of Sunday.
