It's really nice to see an non-standard interpretation of the theme. I think maybe the hazards need a slight warning before they come through, because a few times I could hit by a boat that I didn't know was coming, and I couldn't get out of the way because I was on cooldown from inflating my buoy. I think all this really needs is polish to be a really great arcade game!

thanks for the advice. I indeed think it becomes way too hard after 40pts, I didn't have the time to tune the difficulty in 3h.  I will try to improve it when the ratings are over ;)

good job! it's really hard to get above 40, the buoy deflates way to fast after this point :)
