Super fun game. I enjoyed becoming one of the biggest fishes in the lake. although it was a bit more difficult to destroy enemies once I reached my Big Fish status.  Besides that, the skill tree was well-implemented and the game was really solid.

Developer

glad you had fun! I agree the fish needs some work, thanks for playing and leaving feedback!

good game, the art style is not my type, but the game still good

Fish game! Like the idea here, and I do enjoy an upgrade skill tree. I think the game would have been better off if the player could aim where to shoot with the mouse instead of aiming the shield that way, and the shield just encompass the player, because bullets end up flying everywhere and it's quite difficult to line one up with their target to shoot if they're also running away from bullets. But I enjoyed it, well done!

Developer

Pretty cool, the upgrades were a nice touch. Also love how you turn into a fish from a tadpole. Makes perfect sense :D

Art was good. But shooting mechanism didn't work properly for me. Font style was good.

Developer

thanks for playing! What do you mean about the shooting mechanism?

I mean bullet got stuck and was not moving in proper direction.
