But I never really understood the controls nor the O2 mechanics. I found it easiest to continue below the surface without O2 and hard while having O2. It also ran out so very quickly.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Air-pockets, sharks and more of that to make it into a full game. But really nice start."},{"author_name":"Lars Faust","author_uid":"25107","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 8:49pm","epoch":1398717840,"text":"Have been playing this one longer than any other game so far. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Really great excecution. I like that you can just stay underwater until your O2 runs out and then shoot to the surface. Really really good.
