Controls are difficult. Made me frustrated. Trying to juggle objects into a side was fun though. Very good competitive game against someone else.

I liked the concept, controls need a tiny bit of fine tuning, the frustration was party of the fun but a little tweak and it could be super playable
Loved it, the thrusty controls make this really fun to play
Mmm, I think it suffers from only being tested by the person who's been playing it constantly all weekend.
Too hard, but really fun.
It was hard to control but feels pretty nice to have some kind of basketball with whales, xD! Nice!
One thing for sure. Would be nice to have multiplayer mode supporting players over local network at least. I played it alone, using both fishes, was fun, but I felt I was missing a second player.
Cool concept, I think it would be worth working on some more. Maybe tightening up the controls. Nice submission!
This is a great idea! Just add a few levels, maybe the ability to change your creature, and networked multiplayer and it would be a great game!
As said before, it is quite hard. It is hard doing it alone, I can only imagine how long it would take to score any points at all when playing against some else. But the concept was nice and pretty well executed.
I think the controls being so... intricate made the game so much funnier. I kinda wish there were more rubbish and different maps, but had a good laugh.
Fun game, except the control scheme makes it very hard to play. With the controls fixed, it would be awesome!
Repeating what others said: controls were OKish, bit difficult to handle. Funny idea. I liked the art quite a bit. Nice job!
The whales-which-are-not-fish are so difficult to control. If there was a button to grab an object, it would help.
DON'T CHANGE THE CONTROLS, they are awesome the way they are, they are pretty much the only reason the game is even the tiniest bit fun. BTW I managed to from starting position swim straight toward the tyre & tail flip it into my boat.
Here is a nice game. I really like simple hotseat 2 players games and this takes it at the best, with nice care to simple details (water splash, sun rays).
I don't see any problems with controls, is just hard to score and I liked it the way it is.
Nice game, was really fun.
Thank you for all the comments, and I'm glad not everybody was put off by the Asteroids-style controls!
When I played this it turned into synchronised whale dancing! :-D It was good fun though and an original idea.
