Great idea (I think depressed underwather businesspeople are quite unique;)!
But it could have used some more mechanics (maybe some condition to lose, highscore, different kinds of businesspeople, ...) to make it entertaining for a little longer ...

Great execution!

Love the graphics and the whole atmosphere. Well done.

The graphics are great. At first, I was a bit confused on how to play the game, but it was enjoyable after.

Strange game... Great graphics but ..strange ^^

Great atmosphere. I realy loved the graphisme and the music.
The gameplay lacks game mechanics but I enjoy playing it.

I wish there were more to do! I wanted to be able to grab multiple people with one hook, or at least buy a multi-hook upgrade or something :)

A great take on the theme, but as others have said it could have used a lot more to keep the player entertained as it quickly got boring. Great job.

Funny, and pretty, but lacking on the gameplay.
It took a little bit to figure out how it worked, and then it was fun grabbing them for a while, but it ended up sort of being a fatigue game. Perhaps having fewer fall, but faster would be more fun, and also allowing multiple men per hook, so that my throws could have more strategy.

Strange little game...
It could have done with a bit more gameplay, but it's a cool concept nonetheless! Congrats! :)

Nice moody music. I like the graphics, with the fishes in the background. Cool idea!

Couldn't get the game to work on windows. I followed the read me and I have java installed. It says 'java' is unrecognized as a command on my system, but I've been running other dev's .jar files all compo long. Not sure what's up, sorry.

different idea and the mechanic was solid - nice job
