Fun game!

### 4/5 — Infuriatingly addictive

*2015-08-21*

Simple and fun, and a well-allocated reward system keeps me playing over and over and over. There may be some swearing involved. 

"Spiky Swim" reminds me of the toy aquariums and water jet games we used to get from the toy store on road trips that inevitably leaked all over the back seat. This game does not leak.
