Nice work on your game! I like how you incorporated the "Growing" theme into this. I also liked the sound and such (although it seems to cut off and stop playing once you beat a level or two). Other than that, really good stuff. :)

I feel like the "fish eat fish now get bigger" games I played on Flash portals as a kid were slow and boring. This is much faster, quicker, and more interesting!

You get a GitHub star too. ;P

Good job on the game. Felt like Osmos at times. Game had minor issues with screen edges. But still fun.

Pretty good Osmos clone! Well done!

Nice game! I liked the simplicity, but it was a little short.

That Jaws theme remix! The way the fish swim is pretty humorous :) I didn't like how they seem to gather on the screen borders but it's a fun game. Cheers!

Super simple classic game, but it's fun! The fish colouring was a nice touch and helped understand which ones you can eat and which ones you can't eat. :)

Nice little game :D Too bad the music is so short :P

Great game! Really like it.

This is really effectively done. Took me a while to realise I could aim with the mouse though.. but once I did I had a lot of fun with this. Thanks.

Not too exciting but well executed!
very fluid gameplay ;p

Nice fishy clone, the movement mostly works well and the mechanics seem well figured-out. Found the music sort of jarring, but fairly funky. Nice work!

Good gameplay, levels increased in difficulty nicely and the control of the fish was solid and easy to pick up.

hcosta 2015-12-15 03:21

This is a nice balanced game covering the two themes, good job!

Good game, a bit short and some more variety would have been great

Nice and smooth, I liked how the fish became edible as I got bigger, made evident by the colour change.
I died in the corners a few times thanks to the wrapping... Thought "I'm fine, I'm on the opposite side from the red fish", then I died...

Great game. Really fun to play. Nice grahipcs also. Good job!

Nice little growing game.
What I liked most is exactly what my own game is missing - you made levels. It starts easy and not with all mechanics at once.
In hindsight that's what I should have done with my sheep.

Nice job! I really like the responsiveness of the fish, and the music was really nice too (i love midi)! If you make the "world" a bit more alive (animation, physics?) it would be awesome!

Fun game. Well done. Loved the music and the sprites. Pointer controls made it a little difficult with the sides. Some of those bigger fish swam at me faster than I could get my bearings on a new level.

Haven't personally played a puzzle-feeding game, usually they're more sandboxxy so I like the change of pace.

Nice and snappy game. Good awesome-per-second in this, I think the difficulty ramped well, and I liked the short levels. I thought it was mouse only (with mouse-pad) which was slightly awkward, but then I realized that I of course could play it with the keyboard. Could have been interesting with some harder levels at the end.

All in all. Well done, I enjoyed it :)

Not exactly anything new, but it was quite fun and I liked the music.

Your game is really fun to play! Sadly a bit short! Well done!
