Loved the field trips, but couldn't stand the elitist attitude of some of the staff.\r\rFun game. Was confused at first as to why I was drowning when I should have had 30 seconds left, until I noticed that those things on the ceiling were bad guys. They kind of blend in with the wildlife.\r\rGreat atmosphere, too.

Played quite long upgrading things close to max I would expect. \r\rI think it shouldn't be possible to loose by over-buying, but it be denied. However if one forgets to refill, of course. On the refill, it would have been nice if the cost to refill also went up for increased air capacity.\r\rI never really noticed either, but the further away I hope I got more for the things I caught.\r\rThere were some places that look as if they would be trapped air, so I kind of expected to be safe there, time not ticking.\r\rFinally, since you had a nice warning tick about running out of air. It would have been nice to have a very distinct half-ways sound as well."},{"author_name":"moonmagic","author_uid":"4706","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 9:28pm","epoch":1398979380,"text":"Pleasant float-y times, I enjoyed swimming with my limbs.

I like that in the first levels, the only enemy you face is your own poor time management skills (they got me a few times, LOL). Overall, an interesting, fun mechanic that was well-tuned, so great job. I wound up playing quite a few times before giving up! The graphics and audio combine to make a fun and relaxing experience, no matter how harrowing the gameplay is.\r\rA couple of things, though--in the shop, you've got a blend of prices put on the products, and above the products. It's difficult to tell what's really going on because of this, and I feel it would probably make more sense to have them arranged by price or type rather than at random, as it seems to be now.\r\rThe other thing is that there seems to be a couple of strange bugs--I've managed to warp through a cave wall before, and one time after I bought the harpoons and indebted myself to death, the game immediately told me I'd lost upon starting the level. It seems like debt\/research funding from the last game carries over to some degree if you don't close the window?\r\rAnyway, this is awesome and I truly enjoyed myself. Thanks for the game!"},{"author_name":"kibertoad","author_uid":"7122","time":"May 4, 2014 @ 10:39pm","epoch":1399242840,"text":"Nice graphics, interesting to explore level.

Somehow you graduated from marine-biology at t.S.C.U.N.H.O. (that super cool university no-ones heard of).
