If they shifted over a lane or two that might be better, but it just feels like I'm hopeless to save them and I'll do just as good if I let the people fall randomly.\r\rIt took until about the 5th wave for me to realize that the preservers shifted their lanes. In the description text, maybe make it more obvious as to their functionality? I thought I could just throw them and if they touch, they are saved."},{"author_name":"summaky","author_uid":"1885","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 2:45pm","epoch":1314110400,"text":"At first I didn't know that the life rings just moved people around. I though that just touching them was enough.\r\rAlso, the shark movements are so unpredictable that is very hard to save anyone. When I think someone might be safe, a shark just moves to that lane and "noms noms""},{"author_name":"EddieCameron","author_uid":"4158","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 11:33pm","epoch":1314228480,"text":"Site's down for me..."},{"author_name":"Benjamin","author_uid":"2952","time":"Aug 26, 2011 @ 11:48pm","epoch":1314402180,"text":"fun game !

Made using FlashDevelop, FlashPunk, PunkUI and Photoshop.\r\n\r\nThose pesky sharks are up to no good yet again! They wait with their mouths wide open in anticipation of gobbling up some unbeknownst swimmers as they hurtle towards them.\r\n\r\nYou - Yes, you! - are their life ring wielding saviour! Move across the bridge using the arrow keys and throw life rings to help the swimmers avoid the nasty sharks. Z will throw a ring which will move swimmers to the left and X will throw a ring which will move swimmers to the right.\r\n\r\nYou're their only hope!<\/p>","title":"Sharks Are Evil"}
