I wish there was a little acceleration and momentum or a floaty feel to the player, though. It would do a lot to the sense of being under water. Slightly bigger collision on the pickups would have been nice too; I found the required precision a little frustrating with the current movement. The inability to shake off the squids was also a little frustrating. As a whole though (and in 48 hours) this is great work!"},{"author_name":"RipX","author_uid":"5896","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 2:18pm","epoch":1346163180,"text":"Thanks everyone :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@chamberlainpi Made souond fx but ran out of time.\r<br\/>@Mclogenog Try trapping them behind walls ;)"},{"author_name":"ButtercupSaiyan","author_uid":"4948","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 7:49pm","epoch":1346183040,"text":"Darn those octopuses! Thank you for making this, I enjoyed playing what I could get through.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The colors in the pixelart are bright and vibrant and have rock solid design. It's a minor thing, but I really like the fading trailing bubbles on the fish.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Without the ability of a continue or some other method to deal with the purple guys, I didn't really get very far... I had the idea to trap the octopuses on the bottom area of the first screen, but couldn't seem to pull it off with the back-and-forth fish enemies too."},{"author_name":"BenW","author_uid":"128","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 3:23am","epoch":1346296680,"text":"It's well polished but I feel like the lack of sound does it a disservice.
