How does your game fit the theme?
The idea was to play on the relationships between the scales of the characters and the environment, because size is a relational value. We embedded the concept of size in the game mechanics, you can feel you're the smallest, but you can thrive. YouTube Trailer and infos at the game page

Omg we didn't even know slither, but it seems to share some of that vibe, by the way we agree the final result is a bit hard, we were short on time to fine tune it, so we hoped for the best! We'll try and update it after the jam. Hope you had fun nonetheless

Wow, playing this game gave me a flashback to all those flash games from back in the day. I like how it plays though the fish are very fast, so I had a hard time collecting enough food by the time they got me. Nice art and very fun game! :D

Thanks for the feedback, we're really happy people are enjoying it. To be honest we playtested a lot and tweaked a lot, but it's been challenging to find the right balance, in hindsight we agree that the game is a bit too hard, we'll try and fix it after the jam ends! Also I think you really got the point, we'll surely increase food density and link fishes' speed to a difficulty selection

If you ever decide to update the game I'd love to see it :3

This was absolutely my favorite flash game back in the day. I like the innovation of tricking fish that are chasing you into eating each other.

I noticed while playing that the music seemed to start, stop, change volume, or switch to a different song seemingly randomly

Thanks a lot, we're so happy to have made something people can find interesting and fun, in particular if the core mechanics worked! The music was meant to change to a harder one when the big beast gets close enough, but it can suddenly move off screen, leading to a new song being played, maybe it required more refinement

Cool game looks great! fish move a little too fast making it quite difficult. Still very fun!

Really appreciate, we know the game can be tough, but we hoped that it's engaging enough to let you practice and find the fun zone
