Why are the main screen and in-game using different controls? There is also a crosshair in game which seems not to do anything. I didn't see the evolution theme anywhere in this.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Ah. Reread. I didn't realize the red circles were good. The coins looked obviously good but I was trying to avoid the red circles."},{"author_name":"NedortGames","author_uid":"14208","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 2:19pm","epoch":1346076840,"text":"Yes, crosshair does not do anything yet as I said I will continue to develop this game outside of the ludum dare compo!"},{"author_name":"Punga","author_uid":"16134","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:02pm","epoch":1346079420,"text":"I didn't enjoy it.

The art assets look nice and the music is pleasant. I was confused at the switch between arrow keys and WASD between the menu and the Main Game, although this is probably my fault for not reading help first xD I can clearly see the evolving from boat to boat as part of the theme. However, I found an odd glitch. After hitting enough sharks to put my health bar to zero, I didn't die, but I died after hitting a health powerup! Kinda odd."},{"author_name":"NedortGames","author_uid":"14208","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 5:30pm","epoch":1346088300,"text":"Weird!

I wouldn't change them when you will continue the work on that game, they somehow fit the environment :) \r<br\/>For now, unfortunately it is an unfinished game, however keep up the good work, and I would lower the volume of the music, I got scared in the first moments of the game :P"},{"author_name":"infernet89","author_uid":"14271","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 1:17pm","epoch":1346332320,"text":"Really liked the song, but not so much the game..
