Really nice idea! Seems like a lots of work has gone into making the art. There is a nice progression to the game. The animations are satisfying though how the smushing works isn't all that intuitive to me. Maybe some clue about what earlier parameter was increased by eating the fish, would make more sense.

Thanks!! :D
I agree we could have made some aspects of the game, such as the smushify mechanic, more clear in the brief tutorial. To clarify, there are two specific fish you need to catch to upgrade your rod for each 'level', and if you catch one of these fish they will be revealed in the smushify menu.
