The light mechanic is a great twist on this type of game, so much so that I think you should have included 'innovation' as a voting category, I would've given you some points for that. The music and graphics all work well too, it has a nice mood to it. Good game but it is pretty difficult, I had to play it a bunch of times before I could last more than a minute."},{"author_name":"Gipzo","author_uid":"32280","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:54pm","epoch":1440517740,"text":"Nice game.

The control scheme (tap anywhere on the screen) would fit that platform perfectly.\r\rI'm curious if you had the time to experiment with damaging obstacles (walls that if you touched, you died). I think that would be an interesting twist on Flappy Bird's mechanics, the fact that at any point you can decide not to eat a risky submarine in the hope that you'll be able to make up the lost light later in the level. That's unlike Flappy Bird where you essentially HAD to take the opening in each wall. That little change would introduce a nice "risk-reward" mechanic.\r\rI did encounter a number of bugs while playing (subs or myself falling through the ground, pressing space too much and shooting through the roof and a couple of instances where although I ate all of the incoming subs, I still couldn't refill my energy in time), although nothing really major.\r\rFun little game, nice job!"},{"author_name":"7DeadlySins","author_uid":"58347","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 7:45pm","epoch":1440531600,"text":"Hi, at a moment the fish's jaws get stuck in a rock and stop moving, the game didn't stop and continue giving points.
