Nice highscore game. Good job on crediting all the assets utilized! Something overlooked so often. Music had a nice build up during the game. Fishes were slightly confusing, but I guess maybe that was the point to challenge player visually. More juice and feedbacks could have also been added to the moments player collects bubbles / hits obstacles.  Anyways well done!

Thank you for the game!

I have to be honest, I found it very hard and it gave me a bit of vertigo. And although it's clearly not my cup of tea, I think that these are actually the signs of its beauty.

With that said, however, I think that game would benefit from more clear color and shape coding, as fishes and garbage pieces are sometimes very hard to tell apart from one another, especially at higher speed. Also, something with the scale of the game makes me uneasy too: maybe if the scale would have been 15-30% smaller, and the river a bit narrower, focusing on obstacles would have been easier, because they would better fit into the player's field of view.

Nevertheless, I think this game is neat!

I love endless runners! There's so much charm and personality packed into this game. It really feels like you're going on an adventure with a little hamster friend. 

I do feel like the speed could have been slowed down a bit. It's not too challenging at the current speed, but because there seems to be a consistent stream of obstacles, I had to keep my eyes fixed on the top of the screen to avoid them. That could be intentional, but there but I struggled to feel a sense of pace. 

A small nitpick for an otherwise really fun game. I cannot understate how charming it is :)
