Love the idea of having the health be used for lighting! I've had a bit of difficulty judging whether I'm moving or hitting an invisible wall at times, since there's no point of reference in the sea. Aside from that, pretty fun :)

Managed to eat 15 shrimp. I very much enjoyed the concept of this game, and I like that some animals had their own light sources so they could also help you find shrimp without having to waste too much of your health.
One feedback I can give, if I may, is that the darkness of the sea sometimes gives the impression that you're not moving (or that you're moving slowly). I don't know what is the best way to solve this, and the problem was 100% gone whenever there was anything on the screen (an enemy, bubbles, a different background, etc), buy maybe having more details on the background would help.
Sound would do good as well. Other than that, good job!
I like the art. Nice Octopus!
Interesting concept, i would have liked to have sound effects, and a background as it was hard to sense movement.
Fantastic concept-- although I think the health drain is a bit punishing-- and very cute! Good job :D
Cool lightning tbh. I thought at first it was too dark/limiting with what you can see but once I realized you could trade your hp for more light with a spacebar, it was kind of fun to explore. I think the HP is drained a little too quickly though but overall not bad and it has replayability!
Your use of lighting is awesome! The style is also really cool. As a way to improve, maybe add more lightsources/rarer shrimp?
