Cool game ! And the fish is so cute. And the fact that I think it farts bubbles makes it even better.

Cute game, pufferfish controls well and the boost mechanic is well thought out. Good job!

Cute game - perfect length and I liked how the mechanics all combined. Well done!

Very cute game.  I got a little startled when the angler fish tried to chomp me :D  I like the art style - the puffer fish was especially cute when fully inflated.  The music fit the game well too.  Nice work!

Fun little game! Wasn't sure if the game was endless or not till I got to the end, and for some reason I had like -2000 points but otherwise enjoyable playthrough and nice use of theme using vulnerability, size, and speed.

Cool game! The player controller feels a little hard to control at times, feels like I'm drifting around. But I appreciate the dash mechanic, and the different sprites for the fish at different sizes is a nice touch!

I was a little lost at times, but I managed to finish. I got 9 pearls. I’m not sure if that’s all of them, so I don't know if I fully completed the game

The drawings are really cute, and the music is as well.

That was fun, good job!

Yeah, initially there would be 10 pearls and one of them would be secret, but I didn't have enough time and it ended up being just 9
