Great game with great graphics, but the controlls are a little bit heavy and unresponsive.

Great game with great graphics, but the controlls are a little bit heavy and unresponsive.
Yooo, this game really needs some kind of soundtrack. I stopped it midway and put a tune into the background and it immediately felt better.
The graphics were clearly your focus and they turned out good. I think it could've been a more fleshed out game if you went for a Physics velocity approach for the fish movement and made it a bit less forgiving if you bump into walls and stuff.
Things I liked: - The art style is good - The core game loop feels good - overall a fun game!
Improvments: - something that makes the game loop a bit more obvious; I'm not sure what was happening at the end until I read the post - Add some type of growing complexity that encourages people to play over and over (maybe it's a multi-dimensional space-time octopus!) - make he crabs march back and forth on their platforms for added complexity - some swimming sounds for when you charge to eat (and a biting sound when you catch food) - a splash sound when you land in the water at the beginning - swim particles when you boost to eat - splash particles when you land in the water at the beginning
Bugs: - didn't find any
I didn't even realize how to eat fish the first time through and had 0 at the end ... second time I had 15... not sure what is supposed to happen or change at the end? I like the style and mechanics though. I wish I could swim faster though.
Wasn't sure what to do at first, but accidentally pressed space and figured it out. Good work!
Nice Work, there were a few things I didn't understand until after I read the comments, but overall a nice compo game, Good Job
I like the artstyle and graphics overall, though gameplay and sounds are lacking
