I like the aesthetics and easy to grasp objective! I had some issues with refreshment on higher speeds, but maybe that's browser fault. 

Good that the protagonist is finally happy in love.

Great power fantasy game. Very satisfying when you get big. Great response to the theme! Nice work!

It was extra fun when you'd get real big and extra fast and just sweep up 10 of them in a row!

I like the twist on that you don't control your size necessarily, so it adds urgency the bigger you get which can make for some intense dodges. Though it doesn't last long as you will quickly grow to a size no fish can contest with. The less conventionally-shaped fish were kind of unclear on if I was able to eat them since it was difficult to gauge their sizes with mine. Overall fun game though

Great job on finishing your first game! I am in the same boat with you there. I think the game would feel a bit better if the fish could move around a bit more rather than stuck on a line. Even if it was limited to the left half of the screen, being able to move a bit more would help with being trapped by some fish. I did have fun with it and it was successful on giving me anxiety as I wondered if I was large enough to eat a fish or not.

Be proud you finished a game, not everyone can do that!
