This was fun to play, which is the most important part of a game, so in that it's pretty decent. The supplementary things like the art and sound needed a lot of work, but I get you may not have had much time. I beat the game on my first try,  so it's balanced pretty well. The gameplay was interesting, and therefore this was worth playing.

Well this was certainly an interesting one and well fit the theme! I enjoyed flailing around the screen at light speed eating every apple in sight.

The theme relevance was easily top-tier so well done on that!  

Otherwise I wish the controls were a bit smoother, dashing left and right felt natural but moving up and down felt odd and I couldn't get the dash to work in those directions. 

Pro-strat for other players when the fish count gets low: ''ride'' on the other fish and snatch their food from their mouths.

A good take on the theme.  Controls felt a bit weird (like you can click to go fast to the left or right, but not up or down which sort of limited your options)

Very good fit to the theme.  Felt kind of bad getting the food and having fellow fishes starve to death because of it. Great game.

Interesting idea. I liked the strategy of having to horde the food for yourself, so doing things like hiding near a big bunch of food and then eating it before the other fish could made me feel clever. I think it would be a little more fun if I had a way to attack other fish, because especially when it got down to and one other fish, it took a while to win as I just had to kind of bump into them and try to snag the apple they were going after before they could eat it. Some sound effects and a little more feedback would also be very good. I also had a little trouble understanding the boos mechanic, It seemed to make me go faster but only side to side and not forward. And there also didn't seem to be a limit on how fast you could go side to side.

Overall, it's an interesting idea that has some fun strategy elements, and I definitely think it has the potential to be expanded into a full game.

i got stuck when there was only 2 fish left , it needs a tutorial and some Sound effects , it needs more polish  , the idea is well WEIRD

maybe the game is good but i couldn't  enjoy it or perhaps the game it self was bad

Interesting use of the theme. Was interesting when it clicked in my head that I had to survive others, so that stealing apples from the others was a good strategy.

It's ok. I understand you need to eat the apples, but not much else. Is the goal to live longer than the other fish?
