Otherwise quite fun, but it feels quite slow... the scroll speed, screen transitions, horizontal movement are all quite slow. Music is great, and I love the variety of fish in the game.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback. The screen transitions are slow because I wanted them to be smooth, and not just a fish appearing out of nowhere. Horizontal movement seemed right for me this way, because fish can't swim backwards nor can they swim that fast against current, but maybe I can make it a bit more unrealistic for better gameplay. And the scroll speed increases over time, I wanted it to be slow at first so that it wouldn't be that hard in the beginning. I wanted an option to select difficulty, and that includes game speed of course, but I didn't have enough time to implement it. If you have any other advice on how I can improve the game, I'd love to hear it!

Honestly a really fun game.  Only major complaint is you get killed by simply touching a bigger fish, even if it's their tail.  Other than that, it was fun and I can see myself playing it for hours.

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I'm glad you liked my game.

I was giving the hitboxes a lot of thought, I've tested the game both with small hitboxes that cover only the heads of the fish, and with large full-body hitboxes, and the larger ones suited me better as I was able to see exactly when would I die, so I decided to go with the large ones. But I can imagine that you may expect smaller hitboxes, so if I get more feedback like that, I'll change it in the future.
