Hi,

I liked the game. It has a good feel to it. The effects are nice and how the menus changes is cool, The battle system is pretty good. Overall it is a good game.

The problems:
1) Even though I like the menu, the "hit the Use Key" message is a bit misleading the first time through. I couldn't find the "Use" key on my keyboard, just stuff like "Delete", "Insert", and "Home". I was just hitting every key I could find. After you figure it out it is ok, but the first time I played I had to hit ctl-alt-delete to exit the game. The second time I figured it out a bit better. Yes, I read the instruction manual before I played, lol. I do understand why you put "Use key" there, because you can switch key commands, but maybe you ought to add the old <esc> statis quo as another game exit option.You might want to put the text "Exit" under the door also, it could be interpretted as unlock/open door or something, especially the first time you play game.
2) The music wacks out every once and a while, getting extemely loud and sometimes disappears. Maybe it's supposed to do that, but it's a bit irritating.
3) The fish are hard to tell if they are dead by the animation alone. I would find myself still trying to hit dead fish and walking away from fish that were still alive. I didn't see anything that showed whether they were still alive or not, which doesn't really matter, if their death animation makes it apparrant enough that they are dying/dead. Maybe they should float to surface when dead or something.
4) The splashscreen isn't as nice as the game itself, it's a bit blah and needs improved some.

Keep up the good work. It will be interesting to see it completed.
