Pros:
Seaweed graphics, underwater mountains look really cool, music is great. Good use of the theme and the game has a great atmosphere.

Cons:
Not challenging enough to keep the player engaged for a long time. I know you could have done better with the fish sprite!

All in all this is a great entry for your first time. Keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback! I totally agree. I want to make it harder and prettier once I have some sleep. ;)

gets really old really fast, not enough variety in traits, that and they dont have a meaningful impact on the game, was a good start and has promise, would love to see and expanded version of this game

I can't really rate this game fairly because it's lagging on my computer, so I won't vote. Sorry. I think I have too many tabs open or something but I'm unwilling to close them. :)

I really like the graphics and music. They create a sort of cool atmosphere. However, I think that it simply isn't very engaging - there isn't really a lot going on. I'm afraid I didn't beat the first generation because with the added lag its a little too slow to really bear.

From what I can see, really, the only real problem is that there isn't a whole lot of variety in the gameplay. As I said, I never got past the first level, so I am probably missing out on at least a few things. And, as stated, this is a first-time entry. If this game was packed full of content, I would certainly be very impressed. ;)

I think that this game, overall, is pretty good, especially in the concept. Fish feeding games are surprisingly fun, and this one fits the theme pretty well.

So, TL;DR: This is a good first-entry game. ;)

Here's the post-jam version, now that I've had time to add more enemies and tweak the trait effects. I still have some bugs to work out, but if you want to see it a bit more polished. :)

You should speed it up 3x and remove inertia from the fish movement (speed at which you move fixed for up and down). Also more nets or a time constraint (starving for example).
(The seaweed disappears after some time).
