Originally I planned for other things to be down in the deep, such jellyfish which you would have to avoid touching, to mix up the gameplay. Perhaps I'll do a post-compo full-feature, since it sounds like you think it has potential. ^_^\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@hamster - Yeah the tutorial is pretty dire- sorry! I added it in in the last hour before submission. Did you try to swim up quickly before you breath ran out? Right-click in the top-half of the screen to swim up, that should avoid the mermaids spiriting you away!"},{"author_name":"lorniebear","author_uid":"31739","time":"Dec 21, 2013 @ 6:27pm","epoch":1387650120,"text":"Great graphics, was playing it for ages"},{"author_name":"Denis Chakarov","author_uid":"26461","time":"Dec 23, 2013 @ 1:05pm","epoch":1387803600,"text":"Diving and having to hold your breath - great take on the theme! \r<br\/>Cool graphics and sound also.\r<br\/>I too wasn't able to quit the tutorial, but refreshed the page and started a new game.

I liked the tropical feel and the music was nice.
