I like the variety of fish and things they do. Also, I like the underwater sound effect, it really conveys the underwater feeling. Control scheme feels like it could have been fleshed out a bit better. Also, I laughed when the fish said "Aaaah!"
Nice little arcade game. Audio world was a real highlight. I really wish there were more variety. :)
Love it! I like how when you die the fish floats up to the surface, and how fish swim vertically.. and how vocal the fish is.
Also really like your very simple instructions, but I didn't realise at first that I could mate with the yellow fish.
Awesome game!
I really enjoyed this! I played several times before realising I could make babies with the yellow fish! I thought all bigger fish would kill me. then I bumped into one of them and made LOADS of babies! I got much better at it by using BOTH mouse and keys... extra speed! :D final score, 40 days, 72 babies, 1534 grammes of food and 14 scrapes with death :D
Hilarious. XD Very nice.

I think there's a bug: my first go I only ate one piece of food, but the score at the end said I'd consumed around 45000g. I like the concept and the controls are nice & straightforward, but I think it could do with a tutorial.

@Vilya Yeah I know about that bug, hoping to get some time on the weekend to look at it, not got a huge amount of time during the week atm to fix it. But yeah I usually give more of a tutorial and was planning to but ran really close on time and finished a couple of minutes before the deadline, so my vague instructions had to do :)
Yeah I ate 301821 grams of food. A very hungry fish.
First I did not know which fish are good/bad, but trial and error revealed it. Nice implementation and funny swim directions possible. Slightliy different than mainstream.
Good work

Not as good as the title screen led me to believe :) There were a few bugs:
- Food score kept increasing on the end screen after I died.
- Enemy fish movement looked glitchy and unnatural at times.
The underwater sounds were good.
Nice take on the theme. It reminds me a bit of the Apple II game Odell Lake, at least in concept. It took some time to realize the yellow fish wouldn't eat me.
