Really creative and polished game. I had a great time testing it!
Too many competing mechanics kind of clutters the game and overwhelms the player and the movement is annoying to use, besides that I like the concept and it feels very pollished.
Very fun up until the boss where I kept respawning inside jellies and replaying the boss intro over and over and over... until I quit before defeating the boss that I was unable to get a single hit on (Likely just my inability to play games well). The physics based movement is enjoyable but possibly a little too hard to control for this type of game and the little fish looked so good that I didn't want to eat them.
Annoying that you need to restart the program everytime and the camera angle is difficult but the concept is nice and the game is only lacking in the execution. I also like the sounds.
The difficulty curve is a bit more of a difficulty verticle line, and try as I might I couldn't get past the occipital lobe. I really liked all the small details like the narrator's commentary and the elevator music. Could do with some enemy variety (there might have been some past lvl 3 idk sorry), and balancing but overall really creative idea.
