This game could easily be a lot better than it is. At the start, your only option for making money is to scrape the surface of the water for chump change, which isn't fun at all. Once you've done that for a while and gotten a few upgrades, the game periodically becomes fun and the progression happens at a good pace if you play well, which is exactly how it should be. However, after the first boss you get a literal goldmine, and getting the rest of the upgrades at this point is way too easy. The levels beyond this point are also much emptier than before, and while the third area has a gimmick that could be cool, you are going to ignore it because you have infinite bombs. I thought about starting a new save so I could try to beat the game without infinite bombs, but I think the first area would still be the only fun part anyway, and I'd have to sit through the earlygame again.
