Move through the hoops and avoid the big red things to get a high score.

Controls: Space to dive.
Does going through the hoops actually increase your score? My best strategy so far has been to pray I level out before hitting a red thing, and then just float along the water line as long as possible without moving...

Gotta admit, this one isn't my favorite of the week.
Actually, I really like this concept. I don't like the responsiveness (or lack thereof) of the diving though. Seems a bit random and a bit too difficult to control. I'd like for the rings to have a point... And of course, the fact that it just autoplays in the background if you don't shut it down. My last high score was a complete accident...
Hello, I quite like the concept here; you see though, at first I thought the proportion between "height out of water" and the "unaided depth below water" upon re-entering, was imbalanced.

After a few attempts, and BYOND ads later; I re-discovered that your code's calculations were quite well written.

I would further go on to discuss the prospect of progression in difficulty; working up to a faster and harder onslaught of Cheshire Clowns.

Ultimately, however unlikely, upgrades, weapons; you know, the whole classic arcade space shooter theme.

All the best, James!
Love it haha
