Great spin! I love it, I just wanted an inventory for the KO'd fish, maybe in the update

Very well done. The music really helps build the tension. Sound effects and voice over are really nice. I also like the logo/splash screen a lot (though it did stretch weirdly and looked very pixelated on my screen).

From a UX point of view I think it would've been nice if looking around was controlled using the mouse (or it could be a configurable option in a more polished version).

Maybe another thing to add for increased difficulty/chaos would be fish that aren't as deterministic as the ones in this version. Although I must admit the current behavior really drives home that feeling of inevitability you get from movies like "Jaws".

Really cool idea - reminded me of the Shrimp in Shark Tale that was being used as bait

Loved the music, and the glowing eyes added to the atmosphere. I think being able to use points to purchase ability upgrades would definitely enhance the gameplay but overall it was a really solid submission

A very good idea for a game, just needs more variety in mechanics.

I really really liked it.

Gameplay wise, maybe faster turning. It has potential for expansion as well.

The hook was an issue, did get in the way sometimes, maybe change it's material or try an transparent overlay.

Excellent start screen and environment, I had a similar thing in mind, including the waterfall!!

You will need escape menu though to close the game, better than Alt+F4


You deserve to win just on the name and idea :)

I really liked the twist on this one, good work!

Like the twist on the fishing theme, but the mechanic was a little simple. The UI and game style didn't really feel cohesive and the water environment could of been better. Fun at first but need ed to become more challenging after each level.

This is really a fun idea! You definitely feel small compared to the fishes and it really adds to the tension.

Clever take on the theme! I dig it!

A very cool idea to play as the worm! i really liked it until it gets boring because there is no much to do. Some skills or shop system to make progress would make this perfect! Great Work!

I feel you, but this is all I could do with the time given. I really wanted to include power ups or a talent tree or a shop but it's best to have something working than to add incomplete features :)

Thanks for feedback!
