The relatively complex layout, the ever-rising water, the need to return to the approaching danger, and the metaphor for marriage in asian regions.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Quite interesting indeed :-)"},{"author_name":"LegacyCrono","author_uid":"3093","time":"Aug 22, 2011 @ 4:59pm","epoch":1314032040,"text":"Nice little game! The level design was rather shallow in some parts, but decent overall. Could have used some music...\r<br\/>My highscore was 211 =D"},{"author_name":"Zaron","author_uid":"5617","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 2:36am","epoch":1314066660,"text":"Not bad.  Time limits give me panic attacks like little else, so the constant threat of drowning was always-present on my mind and marred things a bit, but aside from my initial run where I managed to just muck things up thoroughly (didn't get the double jump in time :\/) it was an enjoyable and well-constructed game.  Good platforming, solid controls, even a semi-interesting boss fight towards the end.  Had a few points where zombies just murdered me due to where they were entering the room, but that's the only thing that rose any legit red flags for me."},{"author_name":"Shigor","author_uid":"5242","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 12:40pm","epoch":1314102900,"text":"Quite good platformer - it really could use at least some simple sounds"},{"author_name":"refrag","author_uid":"1277","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 6:24pm","epoch":1314123540,"text":"Pretty complex game. Unfortunately I got lost. Some simpler structure early on in the game would help to teach the player of the mechanics.\r<br\/>Good solid entry. Well done."},{"author_name":"kato9","author_uid":"5821","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 8:10pm","epoch":1314129900,"text":"Woah a metroidvania style game! The rising water level is a really interesting element - on the one hand it adds a more pressing danger, but on the other it helps you get around more easily since you can swim. A little too hard for me, but I really liked it overall!"},{"author_name":"JohanAR","author_uid":"4989","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 4:20pm","epoch":1314202500,"text":"Sweet platformer, but it felt like 90% of the rooms were just fillers. Would've been better if the ship was smaller"},{"author_name":"Hangedman","author_uid":"4368","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 7:34pm","epoch":1314214140,"text":"Ran smooth, was pretty fun. Wasn't really playing urgently at first because I didn't understand the threat. Also, could not win the boss fight, because it ended up spawning a good 20 zombies I couldn't kill fast enough. Still, neat, functional, nice challenge and good take on the theme."},{"author_name":"kavs","author_uid":"5586","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 7:56pm","epoch":1314215460,"text":"I totally forgot I had ninja star until the very end. A simple tutorial area where a destructible wall was blocking the door would have helped, but that might be holding my hand too much.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I died twice and didn't try a third time to finish it. Died on the boss because I forgot I had stars, and tried to bob zombies on the head. :D I'm so dumb.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice art, could have used some music, and the game was pretty fun."},{"author_name":"Arron Fowler","author_uid":"4764","time":"Aug 26, 2011 @ 2:23pm","epoch":1314368280,"text":"Really liked playing this one"},{"author_name":"Shadow","author_uid":"4250","time":"Aug 27, 2011 @ 12:03am","epoch":1314403080,"text":"Lovely entry indeed. Definitely entertaining (despite the fact I failed to defeat the boss). The ship fell kinda oversized for its simplicity though. It should have been either more interesting (design-wise) or smaller. It's not something that kills the experience anyway. Nice job.
