It is a good idea but I think it is a little fast-paced.

nice game! Cool take on the theme. The music choice is perfect for this & gives it a nice relaxed atmosphere.
I think you could really expand on this though, rather than it just be about eating the fish and getting the highest personal score you can get. Maybe have a leaderboard, or different "skins" or fish types you can unlock with those points. Think about how you could make a game like this even more engaging to the player, to make them WANT to play more! Getting the highest score is good for a moment, but not really sustainable. This could really bring this game to a whole new level, but you have a nice start, so good job!
Thanks heaps. Yes you are absolutely right. Atmosphere is good but the gameplay is quite basic. Of course the main reason it was a bit rushed because of the limited jam time and I restarted project in the middle of the jam.
But your feedback is valuable. I should try adding new levels, unlocking new fish types. Your feedback made me WANT to develop more and make the players WANT to play more ;) Cheers!
Hi thanks. Music is from one of the packs in the bundle of the organisors. Joel Steudler is the composer.
For the electric eel, it depends how long you're exposed to electric. You can lose all your lives or some of them. But may be I should tune it a bit. It's too fast and most of the time you lose all your lives, you're right.
Also more fish you eat, it becomes more uncontrollable. Fish becomes faster and acceleration gets higher. May be I should have added some explanations on the homepage.
Thanks for the feedback ;)
