Nice idea! There are some oddities though that made the game frustrating to play... due to the random spawning of items, on my first run I hit a conker and couldn't find a new pad at all! Being forced to swim past lots of lovely acorns was Chinese torture! I think my biggest problem lies with the hitboxes though... Just being anywhere near a conker seems to knock you off the pad, which is annoying when you feel that you managed to completely avoid it! Also, if this happens with other objects around, you can get soft-locked into getting on a pad and immediately being knocked off again. I also think that there should be more sounds for damage and water etc to provide the player with some more feedback. Fun concept though!
