I liked the vibes and music. The fish swimming animation is top notch and I like how the fish's mouth opens in anticipation of the pellet going in, and you even see the pellet going through his body. Very immersive animations.

Also loved the description: You are a fish. You eat pellets. Life is easy. simple haha. Being able to see the storm would be nice but I understand it was scrapped. Nonetheless it ended up being a peaceful relaxing game which is not a bad thing.

Calm and relaxing, definitely! I loved the fish swimming animation and the way he opened his mouth in preparation for the pellet, as well as the sound of eating. The game didn't overstay its welcome either. Just chill.

relaxing game, would be cool if there would be some storm effects, whirpools etc. the closer the storm is.

Please try out my game too and leave a honest rating, thank you.

I think the controls are a bit smooth for my taste, or maybe too sensitive, you move a little the whole fish will turn. The game is chill and I love that you made it in LOVE with LUA! I have experience and it's a wonderful language. GG

What a beaufiul fish! Love the combination between photographic background (with blur) and vector art. The way the fish swims,  so cute! I missed the storm part, tho. Great job!
