Thats a fun twist, and has a lot of humor. Not exactly my genre but feels pretty good if a bit chaotic.

Hey, thanks for playing. Sorry it was a little too late for me to join you in the stream last night. It was very helpful to see someone else playing. Looks like in your first attempt you missed tracking the food meter, maybe I need to find a way to make that more obvious. I will also add input prompts in-game. Once you got in the flow you did a great job! Tweaking the difficulty is tricky. I increase the rate of enemies after you score 10000 points. I was concerned it would be too difficult otherwise but I think I can crank it up a little. And yes, you picked exactly where I was going with the game design. The more “dangerous” zone in the middle is where the food is and where the player wants to be. You can stay airborne and conserve energy by choosing not to shoot at the expense of not scoring points, or you can stay safely at the very bottom where there are way fewer enemies but you still need to surface for air.

Yeah! I did look at different animals and I do think cats and otters are really cute but I like turtles. I really thought more people would go this route and I thought I could explore undersea environments to make them more distinct.
