I liked the game. It feels like a walk through witticisms, like reading through a collection of comic strips. A nice embodiment of the theme 'void'. I liked how one of the speech bubbles changed the subject from 'he' to 'it' to 'they'. A nice use of language to add to the mystique. I'm sure there are still some speech bubbles which I haven't found yet on the map. They are hard to see from far away.


On my first play-through, I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do and went straight to one of the spiral staircases leading into the sky. I had a hard time not falling, and then I did fall. The timer went out and the game ended, and I was left feeling, "what did I just play?" But, when I tried it the second time, I figured out that you were supposed to find speech bubbles (the things shaped like this: ...). Then, the game turned into a hunt for speech bubbles for me! The game was fun even though I wasn't doing anything apart from travelling the map and looking at weirdly-shaped things and looking for speech-bubbles. I felt very slow, though. Shift made it feel a little faster, but I wasn't sure if it was just an illusion (which adds to the theme of the game!).

Nice game. I was an alpha-tester and here is my review:

Things I liked:

1) holding shift to engage fast mode

2) Sound effects paired nicely with animations; immersive experience.

3) cool mini-map.

4) Screen cracking when low hp.


Things I didn't like:

1) finding gold is hard. This is the last resource I fill up on before finishing the game.

2) not having a flare when a shark is chasing me (serves me right for shooting my flares for fun).

3) dying because I bump into a mountain when I'm low hp (serves me right for bumping into mountains left and right when I'm high hp).

4) The screen rotates strangely when I turn my camera all the way down or all the way up. Awkward during a shark attack.


Tips:

1) Shoot a flare horizontally across the sand and look for glints to find pearls fast. Also works for gold.

2) When you have sharks coming in at you from all angles, press E with shift to go up fast, then go to another part of the map or wait for your flare to recharge.

3) Try the game while holding shift all the time for extra challenge. It's hard!
