That is so amazingly cute, it's so smooth it's easy to overlook the amount of things that are happening in there.

Also, I'm running it on an iMac dual booted to WinXP and it ran without any hitches.

Good job on this one mate i really like the scroller fx & the cute animals 

[benny!]

Damn, Padman ... you did it again !!!

This is absolutely great, because:

- true oldschool feeling
- cute animations
- great scroller (thanks for the greet)
- whole production has a fantastic color-scheme
- great summer chippy music
- interactions (F-keys)

I really love the beach-mode! Great work, mate!

[Shockwave]

I like that very much.
I love the cheerful mood it creates, the happy music and the interactivity and the saltwater hippo!

Thanks for the greet too and good luck.

[Rbz]

Pretty nice, the big hippo is alot funny 

[padman]

Thx guys! Glad you like it! (...and that it works without any probs so far, after all the hassle I had with my remakes on RR lately)

[Clyde]

This is just brilliant welldone indeedly dude!

[Kirl]

Excellent, I really like the Hippo and the waves/caustics/highlights a lot!
Beach mode was a nice touch.

[padman]

Thanks! 

[dmitrinove]

Excellent!!!

The look and feel of font and the music remember me the best nintendo games and also the water affect is really great

[rdc]

Totally awesome.

[bobfresh]

Classic totally retro ... Loved it.

Especially the simulated lighting/water overlay.That's very cool.

Is it sine plasma? cos i tried that and couldn't get it to look realistic.

[padman]

Thanks yet again!

Is it sine plasma?

I was tempted to answer yes just to show off, but the honest person I am I have to admit that it's only some trickery involving moving textures and transparency.

[combatking0]

This is brilliant beyond words, from the art design to the animated effects. The music is more than icing on the cake - it's a highly important retro ingredient.

[Praecor]

Hippos, dolphins, tortoises, and beach music what else you'd want? It strikes me with a ton of positive wibes!

[hellfire]

So lovely.

[padman]

Thank you all!
