I like the aesthetics and idea but I feel it's a bit too easy for me! The fish in the middle is pretty to run circles around, perhaps more appearing over time could be fun! Its a cool idea though! Great work!

Cool.  Fed the big fish a bunch of miscolored carrots. A little too easily exploitable.  Music is good but lacks sound effects.

Nice watercolor-like aesthetic.

Thanks for including instructions in the comment, I'd be lost without them ;). The game is short and to the point, no complaint there. Could use a little more fluff with simple particle effects and SFX. The stingray isn't much of an obstacle, perhaps complicating the level layout with some additional walls, and introducing intertia to movement could be a way to make it more challenging?

Solid effort :)

Hello everyone playing our game. Controls are WASD for movement of your fish! To escape, you have to push the little fishes into the giant fish's mouth so that the giant fish becomes satisfied and no longer covers the reef entrance. And make sure to avoid the stingray looking bad fish, who wants to eat you.

Interesting concept, although some instructions could be useful ^^;

Had a hard time figuring out the objective, but after that quite fun to try and push them in!
