Solid job on all visual parts of the game, the game has a very nice mood to it that the art and droney music help drive home. There are some severe performance issues, at least with the webgl build, that I think if you ironed out and did some optimization would go along way in making something interesting. All in all great entry though <3

I like the atmosphere. The fish tank inspiration is very evident, and I was impressed with the way the swarms of fish behaved - it was very realistic.

I'll echo what @chris-mcknight said - the WebGL build had a lot of stuttering. I also ran into an issue where my main character kept disappearing (and I couldn't shoot anymore) but I still had control of the camera. I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be the end of the game, or if something glitched out on me?

After a couple attempts, I found it easier to just move forward a little bit, and then sit stationary above the UFO and fire at the spiky pink things (which I think was the goal?). An indicator of where your shots are going to go would help the game feel less frustrating.

Good work, and thank you for sharing!
