Very nice idea with the warning symbol showing when a shark is about to turn around! But because you only control the fishes indirectly, the timespan for the symbol is too short. Also I think the health of entities should be a bit more obvious. I noticed some tint, but because of the indirect and therefore slower input I think the feedback loop to the player should be spot on.

My fish flickered and disappeared very often in the game, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the game. Thank you!

Fish revolution against shark oppression!

Loved the original graphics! A health bar for the shark would've been a nice touch, though.

Cool game. Big difference in shark quickness from level to level. ALso hard to organize fish when they keep disappearing. Everytime the cursor went behind something the fish around the cursor would dissapear. Fun game, looks great and soon good as well.

That monocle-wearing shark cracks me up. Cute music. I like gathering a school of fish. The hover to join is novel and has potential. Requiring a number of fish to join adds nicely to the concept.

Killing the the sharks is really difficult. The fish move so slowly compared to the shark. I did manage to get to level 3 once. My fishies can team up on one shark, but two was way to hard.

Fun game, i like the idea. Even though i wasn't able to kill the shark, that is on me however :see_no_evil: I had it once, that all fishes startet flickering and sometime disapeared for seconds.

Neat idea. I like the control mechanism, and the number mechanic on the fish. The shark health was not very clear. The fighting seemed a bit too random and the warning symbol didn't really help at all. I actually missed what the goal was the first time round and was a bit confused as what to do after collecting all the fish. It would have been nice if you could press the OK button with space or enter to avoid needing to use the mouse.
