The first time I spawns an enemy was immediately attacking me and it took me a moment to realize which narwhal I was. I love the idea, it reminds me of joust, the arcade game. the controls for movement felt a little clunky but worked over all. The art looks nice and the dithering gives a nice scaly look to the fish. the background feels a little visually noisy but not in a way that effects gameplay very much.

Thanks for the feedback. This idea was actually originally a jousting game, in fact we did consider using ostriches, but decided not to. Appreciate the feedback on movement, we could've done more to make it play nicely on the desktop version. We had mobile in mind when designing the controls. There's a weird bug with enemy spawning on web that makes that possible unfortunately.
Thanks for the feedback! We’ve added a patch for the enemy spawning bug and also released an Android APK. Give the game another play if you have the time, and consider downloading on mobile for a better experience.
I’m the artist, so I’m glad you enjoy the art. I found a really interesting dithering texture when I was creating the fish scales that I ended doing some interesting blending with that I think turned out great. I was going for a kind of underwater wavy dither pattern with the background, is there something you’d change to fix the noisiness?
