Instead of clicking to replay could you add it so I can press enter or space?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the controls and do think this could definitely be developed into a longer game with more levels and bits"},{"author_name":"01010111","author_uid":"11474","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:54pm","epoch":1387230540,"text":"One hour huh? Not too shabby!

It was easier once I found out you could paddle forwards. I don't think it's a good idea to let the shark kill you as soon as the game runs. There should be a small safe zone to let the player figure out the controls."},{"author_name":"ehtd","author_uid":"11246","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 1:43am","epoch":1387417080,"text":"Too short, but nice mechanics"},{"author_name":"doctorscientist","author_uid":"25260","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 1:46am","epoch":1387417260,"text":"The constraint of 1.5 hours must have been very challenging. You may not have come up with this clever idea without it. Its interesting to think about.

Would have liked some more realistic paddeling though. If the boat had some more realistic velocity, it would also become more difficult, which in turn would have made it more interesting for me."},{"author_name":"BlazingFanfish","author_uid":"29162","time":"Dec 22, 2013 @ 10:15am","epoch":1387707000,"text":"Short game, but the idea is a nice one."},{"author_name":"goerp","author_uid":"14225","time":"Dec 22, 2013 @ 1:24pm","epoch":1387718340,"text":"Wow, impressive for one and a half hour.\r<br\/>Couldn't you have made it even quicker by just rotating one graphic in stead of making a few keyframes?\r<br\/>I like how you used the theme, clever idea."},{"author_name":"Sestren","author_uid":"10343","time":"Dec 23, 2013 @ 2:24am","epoch":1387765140,"text":"I definitely could have shaved off several minutes that way, but I wanted to avoid the anti-aliasing effect that would come from that and wanted to go for a &quot;pure Atari&quot; look.
