The animations look exceptionally smooth for pixel art.

One improvement would be so that you could navigate menus with keyboard, so you don't have to temporarily switch to mouse any time you need to restart.

Pretty fun! I like how you could control yourself in the air so it felt pretty balanced, and you didn't have to flop perfectly since you could correct yourself a little bit to avoid stuff. The parasols were fun to get the starfish points, but the beach balls were a menace! They often bounced be right back into a crab if I wasn't super careful, so I usually just avoided them completely. It's cool you added some extra features in the menu like the color picker. Great work!

That was really fun! I liked the animations, sound effects and the fact we could change the color of our fish. It really only lacks a tutorial, as I did not know what star and umbrellas do for a long time

I got an error when trying to boot up the game... Sucks cus it seems like a fun game.

Only thing I found confusing was that some elements did not "pop" out of the background, and at least at first I didn't even recognize the umbrellas so I thought I was flying up out of nowhere. Otherwise the visuals are good and the game is really fun and simple, the flopping mechanic makes it enough of its own game and not just a copy of some other infinite runner.

This is pretty fun! I like the animation of the fish slowly drooping its tail while in the air. And I also like how you can customize your own fish! The fact that you can only move while in the air is pretty cool, but I feel like it could be abused by some players who always jump? Maybe you can experiment with a timer that allows you to jump only when it's full or smth.  I didn't really noticed how much score the starfishes gave so maybe you could try adding some +1 text at the score? All in all really fun and addicting game, I got to a high score of 1456! (im pretty bad at it)

this is just my experience and not the rule .

this game knows exactly  what is wants to be . it is fun and addicting.  I love that the fish flops and sticks to the sand  , the color customization is a nice touch. my favorite is blue and the fact that the player dies when going off the screen is a nice take on the genera. I love that the game remembers your high score !  You packed a lot of the expected features in which is also great. The only thing is that I , for me, the difficulty ramps up to quickly. I would love to play this game for about 2 -3 minutes a round and have a score of about 10 000 , I would feel like a champ, it would also be nice to mix things up a bit by breaking up  all the obstacles and power ups into lets say 3 levels of increasing difficulty each 1 minute long, " so I would get my 3 mins , with each level ending with the fish flopping back into the ocean and a seagul taking the fish back to the start , after all no fish were harmed in the making of this game right lol

hope this was helpful.
