Things I'd like to add for a later version:
- A better looking boat, that's the one thing I'm most disatisfied with.
- Weird creatures instead of fish, I made an animated octopus-thing, but didn't have the time to put it in the game :/
- More audio and music
Great concept and the artwork is top notch.
Nice idea! The water-sounds really add to this

I like the mood. nice art too
Nice idea, graphically very pleasing. Sound could do with work, though what's there is decent.
Gameplay is a little shallow, needs more content, perhaps harder difficulty levels.

Ha! "Shallow" I get it ;) Seriously, though, thanks for the feedback :) More levels, more creatures and sound is probably next on the list if I keep working on this. (After I draw a new boat)
Really interesting premise!
Nice idea, it plays smoothly and has some suspense. Is there any scoring or progression in place?

There's no scores and only the same fixed number of fish, moving in set paths. I'd rather have something more organic, spawning creatures and such, but that's for a later version.
nice game, it's very similar to the one i made for this jam. If your interested, my game is 'It came from below'.

finally a game where you are not a violant inhabitant of the game world. I love your take on the theme!

I really liked the concept of tagging the sharks!
Nice mood (:
I look forward to see more !
Very original idea, I liked the mechanics, but I found it a little difficult.
This one is tough, but cool idea! Tagging makes a world difference in comparison... and trying not to disturb shark life is a cool idea. I feel this could be developed into so many different things. Excellent job!

As others have said, really peaceful yet challenging. A great take on the theme. Congratulations.
like that cool dark atmoshere. sounds are nice too
Really nice use of the mechanics and the visual masking effect!
Very nice concept here, quite tricky. As mentioned, it's nice to have a variety of non-destructive games in LD.

In my opinion it needs more difficulty. But a nice entry!

Nice game. I would like some sort of highscore.
Ha! This is really cool! I loved the sound, and the little blinking tags were great. This is a pretty fun game, and could really become awesome! (I might buy it with some more animals, some improved graphics, and a little bit more depth of play.)
Fun game, hard! Great graphics.
Nice theme for the game. Only trouble is moving is a bit pointless. You can just stay still and tag all the fish. I think if the level was larger and if you had a limited amount of flares it could have some more game play. Apart from that good game.
This is a clever idea, implemented well. The sounds are simple but very effective.

The arts and the mood are awesome. It's quite hard the first times but it's cool !
Nice! Liked the art and sound!
Very nice idea!
