I thought the easing on the left/right controls had a very satisfying feel to it. It's pretty funny how everything's physics based, but getting slowed down by enemies gets a little unfair since the player never accelerates again, so bumping one enemy the wrong way essentially condemns me to slow death.
Pretty fun, maybe the left-right movement a little too fast

Great mood, the fish phisics isn't perfect but quite funny. I really enjoyed playing it!
Got a good head start, then a crazy log jam of stuff happened. Things ended pretty quickly after that. I couldn't help but laugh. I enjoyed this.

Hehe, this was fun to play, even when I failed. The first time, the fish slowed me to a crawl but I had ages to wait until the oil caught up with me, so I just watched a giant fish pileup at the bottom of the screen.

Haha, I love the way the fish bash into one another! This game made me smile.

Good idea, nice and simple. The controls need a little acceleration and damping to feel more like you are under water.
I really like the sound design on this.
It's fun to watch how fishes are pushing each other. I call this "Fish Jam"!
Bouncing upside and got caught by the oil when hitting some fish. :v The game is funny though :)
Nice time killing game! Reminds me of old but good atari 2600 games...

This is really fun and very nice made as well. However in my fifth or so try I ended up barely moving and all the fishes and submarines were filling up the bottom part of the screen. from an uknown reason. Then an oil got me. Enjoyed this!
Very nice, simplistic concept but fits the theme very well. The controls are nice and smooth and most of all it's fine. Well done sir.

I found that you can speed up by taking advantage of the physics. This idea could be more expanded.
