How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you try to keep your baby fishs calm and stop them from being eaten by sharks. As time passes more and more babies spawn and they get scared more easily, causing them to swim off. This makes you lose control about the situation and you're -> Out of Control.

From hopeful to anxious, down to depressing. This game present you with a story from parents' perspective trying to save their kid from being slaughter by the ocean of sharks. While it didn't have much gameplay, I still enjoyed(probably wrong use of word here lol) the experience this game presented. The aesthetic and musics of this game are awesome. It really did create the feeling of deep ocean. Overall, this is a short but solid entry to the jam. I'm glad I played it. Great job!

DPad DungeonThe game broke the presentation rating. Would give it a 10/5 stars if I could! I'm not so sure if I was playing it right but even when the sharks started getting crazy and I got sad that the my fishes are getting eaten, it felt satisfying to see them getting eaten? (I'm questioning why I said that)
Anyways, loved the game from start to finish!

RoboJackthe presentation of this game is simply top notch. it's short, it's beautiful, it does a great job at executing what it wants. i do agree with other commenters that the sharks are a bit too aggressive in the second half of the game (i didn't really feel overwhelmed so much as feeling that it was pointless to try and soothe the fish bc they're just dying instantly) but otherwise this is fantastic

And They Also RollLove bloom, love neon, my kids kept trying to get me killed but it was a fun spectacle watching them all get eaten! Fun times

LAZY PIRATESStarted out fun, and then it wasn't. Sharks spawning in right on top of stray fish was way too brutal

Cardboard KidsNice job! The graphics are absolutely stunning with the glowing fish and sharks, and I really liked the satisfying mechanic of keeping your fish alive. Well done! :D

Suspicious SheepThe graphics are absolutely gorgeous! The gameplay feels a bit clunky, but it works well overall. And the music was sweet.
(My score was 3679, dunno if it's any good xD)
Good job!

Unruly BeamsWow, the game looks beautiful! I wish we had a few more options for protecting the babies, but I understand the time constraint.

Cat'le Herdin'Absolutely gorgeous graphics. The "force" you experience when a red shark eats one of your small sharks creates a feel of sadness and responsibility. Extremely well executed!

Highway 35Fantastic aesthetics! So many sharks ate my babies, but it was fun and chaotic at the end around a 4000 score
