Very fun! I felt like a big predator 😁

Fun game! I loved the art style :D

Nice sprites; I liked the limited color palette, and the shark's subtle swimming motion.

I'm not sure why the oxygen meter never increased, even when I was swimming (the best I could do was to keep it at a level).

Also, at some point I kept swimming, but could find no prey. I suspect I had gone out of the bounds of the scene (or was bumping up against them), but I had no clear feedback about this. The bounds of the scene should be indicated somehow.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, spawning enemies is in little area if you leave it, you will not find anything to eat. Also, that's a his health bar, it can't increase and the other is a hunger bar increase by eating enemies

i actually liked that it was hard to hit your target sometimes, also really liked the color scheme

Great sprites and presentation. I could've used a slightly tighter turn circle, as it's very easy to overshoot your target now.

The limitation is good here. I would make spawns more abundant since sometimes I wasn't sure if I was even moving. Great idea and the game is pretty fun to play overall.

sometimes there's nothing to eat

Neat concept. I liked how you were left in the dark, but at the same time it also felt like there was no way to win if you went the wrong way, just swimming in the dark without any indication of where to go. I think an arrow pointing to some food when you go far off course could be nice.

Anyway, good job!

Thank you 😊 and i like the pointer idea maybe I will add it

The sprites look really good. Gameplay wise, I wish that if I stopped moving, I would get a benefit from taking a risk, like turning faster. I got frustrated by trying to reach a prey that was behind me and just ending circling around it.

Felt like the spawns where to random and got some to far apart a few times, but a fun and nice looking game.

Nice.  I like the shark animation.  Good concept and keeps you moving :-)  Glad you managed to fix whatever the problem was and upload it.  It was worth it!

When I open your Itch page, I read: "The developer has not uploaded a game yet...". Is this normal, or is my browser bugging? 😣

I think he removed it, not sure why :(

Developer(+1)

it was a problem. and i fix it you can play now

It may have been removed, but it might be that they haven't uploaded yet.  I saw something in the rules about being allowed to upload whilst the judging process was ongoing.  They'll miss out on a lot of view though.

Developer(+1)

sorry about that! i just fix the problem.
