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.

Great game. Having your childred devoured by a shark in front of you had never looked so pretty

Oh wow!

The art style is amazing. On my first playthrough it kind of went over my head (Beautiful, but don't know what I'm playing)

Once I read the help and understood however, it was very poignant to see one of your own fish get eaten by a shark because you could not soothe them in time. That conveyed the theme dramatically

It was just a bit bizarre to see all my fish get eaten no matter what I did at the end, especially since the "score" thing made me think I had some kind of impact at the end.

Overall very good

hey there, thanks for the feedback. :)

there were plans to make a "happy ending" but unfortunately we ran out of time...

as for the score, you get awareded points on an interval, depending on the amount of babies alive. so you do have an impact... at least score wise...

very beautiful art work.  it's also tragic, yet relaxing.  nice job.
