I found it a little tedious scanning each fish, making the fish faster to scan but having a more complicated environment could keep the challenge but reduce the frustration of waiting so long for each fish to scan.\r\rMaybe you have to scan some fish that could also eat\/damage you?"},{"author_name":"turnip","author_uid":"16168","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 1:34pm","epoch":1346074140,"text":"Just got stuck at the end of loading for me :("},{"author_name":"Leebo86","author_uid":"13975","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 1:37pm","epoch":1346074320,"text":"So awesome.

I love the simple and effective graphics. I have to agree with some other comments that it could use some tuning here or there, and some more interesting environments. But still, the "depth" feeling was quite good (the shafts of light really helped), and the graphic design is solid.\r\rYou get bonus points for the sonar waves being actual sprites! You could use this game as a demonstration of the Doppler effect.\r\r... and on the other hand the longitude indication seems a bit off. It should be ', not " (minutes come after degrees, and only then seconds). Also it seems to behave correctly near the starting location, but I went far west, and the minutes tick UPWARDS while the degrees tick DOWNWARDS.... but these are just nitpicks =)"},{"author_name":"Eldaryze","author_uid":"7733","time":"Sep 1, 2012 @ 3:38pm","epoch":1346513580,"text":"Great game and atypical interpretation of the theme.\rMovements are a real nuisance for the player but well aware of the effect of water on the hydrosphere.\rGood graphics and amazing music !

The gameplay was a little mysterious; I discovered my first species without feeling like I was doing anything - I just jetted around scanning, occasionally being attacked, trying to move to what I'd scanned, but that seemed to have no bearing on finding the species. I would have liked some clearer feedback on what I was supposed to do and when I was doing it right. Being told I needed to hold down the spacebar instead of just pressing it would have helped a lot.
