  15. Fun. Once you learn that the octopus does not like to swim in seaweed, and sponges make nice blocks, it's not so bad!

  17. Fin is latin, it means, "the end"... it's a pun. Obviously too sophisticated for some of you guys ;)

  23. Actually, "fin" means final (or ending) in French AND means end in Spanish. Many French films end with the word "fin" so it is commonly mistaken to believe that the only language that uses it in this way is French. However, in the context of this game, either translation is correct given that the intention is to make a pun on the English word fin, referring to the structures that fish use to navigate through water (hence the background image of a fin at the end of the game). :)

  24. I remember when people put effort into these games. Shortly afterwards, Jesus was born.

    in case anyone cares... "fin" is latin according to google translate. I don't like to be told I'm wrong ;)

  27. Love the graphics, music, plot, and the very punny joke at the end!

    *** stars

    [Ok, I know I'm a little late here, but according to Google translate the word "end" means:

    'Final' in Catalan, Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish;
    'End' in Danish;
    'Fino' in Esperanto;
    'Fin' in French;
    'Ende' in German;
    'Endir' in Icelandic;
    'Fine' in Italian;
    'Finem' in Latin;

    (Hopefully that settles the argument:)]
