I like how you rely on real-life advice about drowning for the player to understand how to play in order to survive longer. You didn't write "be careful not to drain your stamina for nothing, use the waves to avoid tiring yourself efficiently", you just explain how to _try_ to swim back up. It was great.
Pretty fun ! The gameplay's good, the alien AI isn't that straightforward, the difficulty is well tweaked.
It was fun ! I found the gun's sound a bit annoying in automatic mode and the boss fight was good but frustrating because there's no way to avoid dbeing hit (or is there ?). But overall, I enjoyed it !
For just a day it was actually pretty good. Too bad you didn't have the time to tweak the difficulty/scoring enough for the game to be challenging.
I loved the visual style and the "computing" dialogs :) Unfortunately I didn't reach the end due to getting stuck twice after the first drop. Is this done on GameMaker ? Collision code is a bitch, I should know, I lost about 10 hours with mine this week-end ;)
Now that's how you handle memory leaks ! I like the originality :)
Ahhh it was really good ! Despite the extremely classic gameplay and its lack of variation, as long with some visual glitches, I really loved the original narration (I listened to it until the end, even after I died) and the visuals (the slit glass effect for health and the pixel art).
It's over nine THOUSAAAAAAND ! That's actually pretty good if you're learning HTML5 and it's not made in a game engine. I'd have probably had a hard time if I had to use the same tools as you :)
The physics are odd with a lot of momentum and not enough gravity, imo. I also found a couple collision bugs. You didn't insist enough on the correlation between the surface and the area under it. Too bad you didn't have the time to tweak, polish and extend it, it could have turned out well !
You're indeed guilty of remaking "Thomas Was Alone" with bad physics, haha.
Too bad the text is in russian (it is, right ?) and that the game isn't related to the theme at all, it makes me feel like it wasn't done for the Ludum Dare but that you submitted it anyway.
