Could do with better graphics, or at least changing the color of the ground as it is too close to the color of the water and after playing for a while it strains your eyes."},{"author_name":"Jack","author_uid":"7315","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 10:53am","epoch":1398682080,"text":"Was the world supposed to be the monster?

It's a shame, the idea of chasing rather than running away from huge monsters is always a fun thing to make into a game."},{"author_name":"xhunterko","author_uid":"1960","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 7:58pm","epoch":1398714780,"text":"The monster is actually in 3 different places.

I think this is a case where I feel like if the world was smaller, it would've been easier for me to feel like I knew where I was going. Or maybe a 'ping' mechanic?
