Forgot to mention that there was a lot I didn't have time to do. Audio and polishing, for example.

I really like the core mechanic of this one. The animation on the birdfish is cool and I like the super attack bit (though the super attack should probably drain some more oxygen/water).

When I saw the title of your game, I thought : "Oh no, a Flappy-Bird-like", but in reality I had a lot of fun !I love the mecanics and the use of the theme. (I'm french, sorry for the english mistakes in English ^^)

Well done! I too was expecting a flappy bird game, and it was different from that, reminded me of the game I created for this game :). The mechanic is well thought out.

Great idea. I like the flying fish. Pretty fun game.

Liked alternating between animal forms and shooting different bullets.

Very nice! With a bit more polish, this could be an excelente game (although it might have some issues with controls on that platform)

Hi, would like to play this but the windows.exe crashes on open. Are you able to fix this?

Wow, that was a really clever mechanic! I had trouble managing so many things at once, though. Keeping a lookout for the water and oxygen and shooting and dodging. Mainly used the x attack, z was kinda pointless. But it was fun!

DesignerNap: Do you have Java installed? And if you do, which version are you using?

For some reason the water didn't display for me (running the JAR on OSX) so I found it a bit confusing. Soon got the hang of it though. Cool idea, nice take on the theme.

This is pretty funny, you can do a lot of comedy things with the idea of a form shifting animal, the graphics are nice and clean, the animation is short and accurate, maybe the gravity force between water and air could change, that would make things more interesting.

Such a weird and funny game, i liked it.

This game should definitely be made for mobile platforms, totally weird concept that works. Nice job!

A very interesting mechanic.
Audio would have been nice, it adds a lot to a game.
Water didn't seem to render on OS X?
It became repetitive after a while, perhaps some sort of upgrade mechanic could have worked.

Loved this game!! Great concept! I included it in part 8 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series! http://youtu.be/0CjJInaKTls

Really nice for 1 day! I like the idea of balancing the oxygen and water. It feels like the bird and fish sprites were flipped, but that might be intentional. It's a bit primitive and lacks sound and particles, but this can just be attributed to a lack of time. Very nice!

Nice mechanistic, great use of surface theme.
