On the one hand, a deformed child who just wants to be left alone to swim off into the sunset, and on the other, a world that puts a child in a tank and sends drones and mines to kill him while onlookers watch and cheer for his death.\r\rI did love the two versions of the music track though."},{"author_name":"madjackmcmad","author_uid":"5448","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 11:21am","epoch":1440414960,"text":"Dynamic music?

Sometimes it'd be a proper full-screen leap from a very short dive, but usually it ended up just being a tiny splash no matter how far down I went.\rA tiny bit more movement speed (both horizontal and vertical) would have helped a lot, the game feels very sluggish."},{"author_name":"cgriff","author_uid":"51093","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 11:39am","epoch":1440416040,"text":"Sorry about the bad Windows link!
