I never found out if there was an ending to the game, because I was terrible at it! (I use the dvorak keyboard layout, so the jump and climb buttons were in very inconvenient places). However I did manage to survive for a few minutes.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I was far too preoccupied running away from the lava to even consider collecting things or staying above the pink line. Perhaps if the points\/bonus also slowed down the rising tide? (Or, if it did this, perhaps it needed to be a little more obvious!).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, well done!"},{"author_name":"Spaceoff","author_uid":"5791","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 9:50pm","epoch":1314135900,"text":"Very addicting, but of course also difficult. My current top score is 1508 but I will certainly try for better than that.\r<br\/>Good graphical style, but the music gets pretty irritating after a while"},{"author_name":"Shigor","author_uid":"5242","time":"Aug 26, 2011 @ 12:24pm","epoch":1314361140,"text":"A bit too difficult for my taste, but it feels finished, polished and playable.
