I thought it was nice, if a little unpolished. I would have liked to see better strokes being a little more benficial then just spaming them all. Overall good game!

Hard to get at first. I truly wasn't expecting a game like this, it is a really novel concept, even if it isn't polished. Impressive you thought of adding two colorblind modes, such a nice detail.

QWOP in the pool.

I was not expecting to get power ups!

Really unique idea, I liked how fast you could go after a few upgrades using the correct stroke order! Nice work ^^

cool idea, I like the music, definitely no challenge as you can just spam all of the letters to win

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!  My original idea was to make it like QWOP but it got too complicated and I ran out of time.  Glad you enjoyed the music.  I used that neat Ovani plugin that can dynamically fade up and down the intensity.

Loved the absurd speed built up on the later pools, do wish you could still buy upgrades even you you do complete the laps though. Great work!

Thanks for playing, Bortalis!  I was thinking like the protagonist doesn't know exactly what to prepare for in the next level so there wouldn't be any choices.  But yeah giving the upgrades anyway would also make sense.  Maybe like a different set of reward choices for winning would be interesting.  I actually haven't played the game to the highest upgrades... I'm sure the character goes Aquaman mach 10 or something.  lol.
