One line I forgot to put in the instructions was that everything except seaweed produces passive energy. The man is suppose to be an energy gauge. The idea was the player is a sea god\/goddess adding life to the ocean. Apparently there's a bug with the energy gauge not always being accurate, but I didn't catch it til after the deadline. Anyway, thank you for giving my game a try!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"moi93101","author_uid":"1137511","time":"2019-04-30T20:04:50Z","epoch":1556654690,"modified":1556654690,"text":"I liked the clean graphism and the calm music, but, I don't think the theme is really used :p \n(I didn't note humor, because, I don't think it apply right here)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Copito","author_uid":"1120198","time":"2019-04-30T23:03:34Z","epoch":1556665414,"modified":1556665414,"text":"Fun game I ended up with a pretty successful underwater paradise... unless you were a fish... if you were a fish then it was probably more like hell :D ","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Thenerdster","author_uid":"1086296","time":"2019-04-30T23:05:57Z","epoch":1556665557,"modified":1556665557,"text":"Played this for a long time, I don't know why it is so chill but it is! ![Capture.JPG](\/\/\/raw\/811\/51\/z\/23f91.jpg)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Abraxas Interactive","author_uid":"1089727","time":"2019-04-30T23:09:19Z","epoch":1556665759,"modified":1556665759,"text":"Nice job, very soothing game, loved the sound design.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"FROG5TAR","author_uid":"1053434","time":"2019-04-30T23:24:02Z","epoch":1556666642,"modified":1556666642,"text":"Nice Game. ended up playing for a good 15 minutes only main issue i found is it slow lags to a unplayable point the bigger it gets. If you were to develop it further in the future i think have a male\/female version of all the creatures could be interesting makes it harder for you to balance it with it being a 50\/50 chance when a new one is born. and the have a scrolling screen so the play area is bigger than the display with left\/right arrows on the sides to move side to side. this last suggestion is mainly to cope with lag as then you don't need everything rendered at the same time only whats on the screen. but overall very impressive game and had fun playing it :) \n","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"TheCrittersCove","author_uid":"1017652","time":"2019-05-01T12:12:27Z","epoch":1556712747,"modified":1556712747,"text":"@thenerdster Wow that's a lot of sharks!
