The theme usage was great, I loved the image of my squinting lil tadpole with one eye. Gameplay hit its stride once the tongue is unlocked, was quite satisfying to spin around and sling as many flies as I could into the catcher. Controls could be improved a bit by having the WASD be local to the current facing direction instead of tied to the cardinal positions, but after a minor adjustment period it wasn't hard to get used to them.
