Nice HUD-less way of showing the oxygen amount!

I agree with @rylgh - the HUD idea is very very nice. I like the looks, the moving fin and camera movement as you go near bottom. Still it lacks a bit of purpose and difficulty (currently you can die only by accident)

Agree with those other fellows about the great way of showing oxygen amount.

I fourth the O2 Hud. Pretty neat idea! The music fit this game really well too! Loved the art style. Good Job!

The music is great! The gameplay is a bit boring.. swimming from one point to another having few, limited stuff to explore..

I like the graphics and music! Gameplay is a bit too boring though.

Nice little game for 48 hours.

Very very nice but.. seriously? A fish getting out of oxygen in water?

Could you make a Linux version? I heard that it's easy for Unity games.

Its relaxing and creates nice atmosphere. It has cute visuals also. Nice one!

It was impressive to see just how much you managed to implement in the second day! It's a very relaxing game with smooth animations and pretty graphics. It might be a little hard to know where to look at first, maybe some small hint could be added for the treasures? Nice work! :)

Cool game. I just wish that I could win. Also that I was a catfish.

@Latcarf: I just tried building for linux but I have no guarantee that it will work since I haven't tested it myself. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4457955/LD27%20-%20Small%20fish/Linux/Small%20fish.zip

I think the gameplay go round in circles a bit. But I love the fish :)

The idea of showing the oxygen left in the main char was great. The gameplay was a little bit boring but very soothing. A tried to explore and whatnot but in the end I found nothing. :(

Nice atmosphere and music -- the 10-seconds-to-live mechanic actually sort of took away from the more zen-like exploratory nature of the game, which is definitely the strong point.

With some more content/procedurally generated ocean floor, I could play for long stretches just to see what's "around the corner" :)

I like the music, 2d art in a 3d camera. And the idea of breathing of course.
