Even if the hitbox was correct, the enemies should probably only drain oxygen rather than kill you instantly - each level, particularly the large one, takes enough time without having to restart because of instant death. And the threat of running out of oxygen was a bit too minor, because it was plentiful compared to how much was required to break down obstacles (as others have said, having it slowly tick down would have been a possible solution). Finally, it was only really as theme-related as any game about being somewhere and collecting things is.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still, quite fun, and the .png based level loader is pretty nifty.
