Its surprisingly hard to be a fish. Gorgeous game! Controls felt a little wonky, but that was trumped by the look and feel of it.

Awesome graphics together with good sound and okay gameplay. My only complaint is the controls. Overall its awesome.
I wish the controls were smoother, and the little fish didn't just sit at the flake spawn the entire time!
but this is a beautiful game, I love the art.
Beautiful fish.
life is hard for me in this tank
I pooed and then died.
Poetry inspiring, was simple and a lot of fun!
I agree with KleinZach though, the controls were a bit weird, it was a struggle to move where I wanted to.
I really wanted to play this but I couldn't run it because my computer wouldn't let me run it. The graphics on it look amazing though
Lovely art - I don't think I've seen a handpainted style used in quite this way before. I liked that flakes were both positive and negative.
Took a try or two to figure out the controls - that I needed to be constantly pressing the buttons.
haha at poop and glutton expression. Really cool to see a gamejam game with a backend.
Beautiful artwork, I want to hang out in that fish tank all day!
Absolutely astounding artwork, not just for a game jam entry. WOW. Love the many way to die, and it's a really detailed aquarium.
Collision is a bit fiddly at times, which sometimes adds and sometimes takes away from the humour. :)
That cat really was an a-hole. Not really sure what the "Lack of self-control" death was caused by but the sheer variety of deaths was hilarious.
Finally able to play this game. The art is amazing compared to our fish game(you should totally check it out). However, the control is hard to get used to. Overall great entry!
This game just looks beautiful, I love the death scenes. That betta fish has no chill, who knew it was so difficult to stay alive in the harsh environment of a fish tank. Great game, lots of fun!
Amazing graphics. Mouse controls were much better than keyboard. It was hard to predict what was going to kill me.
Beautiful graphics. Fun to play... lots of ways to get flushed! The controls were a bit hard to get used to, but this is a nice game. Congrats!
I consider myself to be pretty fancy but this fish takes it to a whole nother level! Beautiful visuals and audio. A surprisingly relaxing experience considering I was getting flushed down a s*****r every few seconds.
At a slower pace, I would have something like this sitting in a little permanent window in the corner of my desktop...
Loved it!
The art and animations are top notch! It was hard to tell how I died a couple times but other than that I had a lot of fun playing.
Am I the only one that noticed the cat in the back window that moved right before the cat paw swiped the top of the tank? Really nice touch there. Great game.
Really cool graphics, the controls where not that intuitive. Overall pretty good game!
I love the artwork on this game!
Very Beautiful!
The controls were a bit strange, had a hard time controlling the fish.
Fun, soothing - and gorgeous graphics!
Cute graphics and sound
A beautiful game with some really funny humor. Well done.
Impressively gorgeous.
Nice graphics. Being a fish is hard apparently. Fish simulator 2016 - GotY
Lovely graphics! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/8ZKn12Y_qVg
hahaha I can't count how many times I died of "lack of selfcontrol" :P it's hard to not eat when fleeing from hostile fish lol. Awesome graphics, nice mellow and at the same time humorful music, amazing facial expressions XD
