It reminds me of feeding frenzy. Ah such nostalgia
Seems pretty cool but the RNG did not like me. always seemed like there were wy more enemies than food and I spent long periods swimming round aimlessly. Never managed to even get slightly bigger before something popped into reality beside me and shot me.
I loved the aesthetic of the game! but definitely felt very slow moving in parts, because I don't think I could tell my speed from the water around me.
The visuals were quite charming, although I would have added a background so that you have a better idea of the speed and direction you're going! Otherwise, nice work!
The artstyle is cool, the gameplay could have been a bit forgiving in the beginning so that you can give the player a taste of growing, personally I struggled to get past 160, but that is just my skill issue
Overall a good game
I like the artwork
Love some good mouse drawn ms paint graphics, art style is on point. The game felt really punishing with one hit and death. But other than that pretty enjoyable! Great work, keep it up!
Great execution of the classic idea! The graphics are fun and very readable, and I really liked the added mechanics like dashing, frenzy and enemy projectiles that give the game a good balance of variety, control and difficulty.
Also I love how the little fish start swimming away when you get close to them.
love the artstyle and the music!
pretty cool game. It is difficult to tell if the fish is moving or not due to the flat background. Some trails or bubble in the background might help selling the visuals of movement.
Decent game!
The artwork was great. Actually had fun looking for fish to eat. I did wish it wasn't a one-hit game over tho (pretty sure the pufferfish had it out for me). Great submission.
Cool concept, although I felt it was pretty hard. Played a few games but couldn't evolve haha
Fun and cute! Love the sunglasses on the fish. It's pretty hard to find some of the smaller fish to eat at the start, so it took a while
Really fun! Great style. A few times I found myself in the middle of the ocean with nothing, but its a little bit addicting when you find a bunch of snack in a row. The anglerfish barbs are really annoying
Fun game! Love the Paper Mario-like art style. One thing you could add is more lives to extend game time. Otherwise good project!
