Public Opinion Overall Rating: 6.8 6Nice theme but otherwise just another clone with average gameplay. 8I agree with Ultio, the only reason this game didnt get 5 from me was that i would have liked more weapons. But it IS slick, impressive and solid! 10I thought this game was excellent for an entry to a compo. I don't see how you couldn't notice the nice water/fading effects. I really liked the quality of all the artwork as well. A good solid game!
