The animations are cute. I didn't quite understand what to do, though.

Thanks @pythooonuser! I forgot to remove the debug room :face_palm:

it's fixed if you want to try again.

@vyndilis I tried again. Nice job with the music and the tree mechanics :)

@pythooonuser Thank you again!

very simple nice game. But maybe you should have focused on moving the fish only once to the right. That way you way had some more time to make the first level look like the forest that is slowly transitioning to the beach.

This game is really cute. I feel like if you had more time it would've been really beautiful. Loved the music and the graphics still though.

Very cool game! I like the simple and cute art style. I really like the mechanics of the game, even tho after sometime it is starting to get boring.

Funny game. My only problem was that the it was a bit slow. I would've preferred it if the fish fell faster. That way it would also be more challenging. But I had fun, and I like the music. Good job!

my only recomendation is to up the pasing, takes a while to get passed the first couple levels (the coconuts are when things start really taking off in my opinion)

Cute, with crisp appealing graphics and fun sounds and music. Tranquil and fun to play. The coconut stun mechanic came as a surprise for me - very nice. I like these simple ones. Good work!

Could be more challenging, but it was so relaxing that I didn't really mind. I loved the music and mood of it!

The aesthetic is really cute! I would make the first level shorter or some assets to the background, I started thinking it was going to be a endless runner or so. I liked how the dynamic changed with the palm trees, would make that part more difficult. Overall, I enjoyed a lot your game :)

The art style is really cute! And I really like that it played full screen in my browser. Felt a bit repetitive though.

Very interesting mechanic, feels like Game & Watch: Fire x side scrolling game! The level felt like too much flat ground, so if the game had more dense level design and maybe even platform mechanics, that could be really great. Also like the music cues the fish is making!

Cute game. Interesting gameplay with a good audio. The environment is a bit empty, you have a crocodile that you can display (following the player to eat the fish). More obstacles and feedbacks will be great (text displaying "Next Stage" with an arrow at the end of the level.

PS: Your fish looks like that [fish](https://www.reponse-conso.fr/wp-content/uploads/shutterstock_135463388-1000x450.jpg).

The graphics and music are the standouts of this game. I love the colour palette and the design of the character. Despite having no facial features, the character's appearance still carries a lot of personality. I also like the idea of implementing trees that interact with the fish differently, but also affect you in a strange way. The palm trees, in particular, were a great touch since their effects could make the game significantly more challenging and not just straight up kill you. I would have loved to see more challenges like those implemented into the game.

I was also not expecting the crocodile to come up and eat my poor fishy, so I liked that element of surprise. Overall, the game is a good starting point that has the potential to be a very lovable and charming game.

wow really nice little game. you can see that lots of love has been but in that game. the mood, audio, the physics, animation and artstyle work great together! Very cool. keep up the good work :)

Such a cute little game! The levels felt a bit rare and especially the first one felt a bit long, I hope people actually play past that. The trees add a really nice mechanic! The best feature however was the dynamic music that played whenever the fish is outside of the bowl! Really well done and I hope you develop this a bit further and add some more gameplay elements!
