There was a lot of charm to this game, I loved it! The little voice clips just added that extra something to the game, and the variety of them really helped too. The gameplay was pretty basic, and a little boring, which was a shame - just walking around, applying sunblock and occasionally dodging a seagull - but the powerups really did help and it was fun using the bouncy balls to actually help me get somewhere quicker - I think something more of that would've been a great addition to have. It was still enjoyable though, and I ended up earning $115 I believe - and nobody burned to a crisp either! The art was pretty good too and the music and sound effects were nice and atmospheric too, which all helped make it feel like I was actually there at the beach - I wish. A great little game all in all, so well done on making it!

The game is played with the mouse only. The theme was "Radiation", so we made our game about the sun!
