Great use of audio and great graphics! I'm very impressed. Also, the title pun is awesome, and as a Canadian I did appreciate all the maple syrup and the beaver main character.

Overall decent entry. I laughed when I ate too much and exploded. The movement animations of the player can use some work. You get minus one point for Theme for not having two button controls for the menus ;)

Really fun! With a bit of gameplay balancing (and maybe some control tweaking), it could be quite addictive.

Nice graphics and interesting mechanic, good use of the themes.
However there should be better feedback when dying, it happens very sudden and there should be an warning indicator when collectible fish are almost turning back to enemies...

good concept, graphics and audio.
can improve on player movement control, user feedback like eating and death..

I really like the mood and the sound of the game. The graphics are pretty decent too, but I am frustrated by some of the gameplay issues. First, cans and fish spawn randomly. They don't come down from the surface or spawn on the right side of the screen. They spawn somewhere closer towards the middle, making it impossible to stay in the middle of the screen for fear that a large fish will spawn. More importantly though, your size is constantly shrinking, leading to a problem where it's very likely that a fish will stop glowing green a split second before you eat it. Also, the cans and fish can spawn inside of you if you are too close to where they spawn, making you immediately pick them up, running the risk of making you too big. If these issues were addressed it would be much more enjoyable.
