This is hilarious. I never expected to see 'QWOP but you're a fish.' Aside from a couple of minor glitches, I think that even though the physics can be frustrating, they are pretty impressive. I certainly wouldn't know how to approach making a game like this!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it even with the physics being a little slippery.  Though I guess that comes with being part fish!

Tbh I could not get further than the pool, but the overall ridiculousness of everything happening is just awesome. And the mechanic - I would not even know where to start that kind of thing. That made me burst in laughter. All stars out of the sea.

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!  The friction was a little bit more slippery with the actual build than when I was testing in the editor.  The mechanic has to do with individual sprites for the parts connected with hinge joints and playing around with the values to keep it upright.
