How does your game fit the theme?
It is a deep sea submarine game, except rather than having to fend off the hungry sea monsters, you are the hungry sea monsters!

En Passant: No More KingsReally like the art direction. Would be cool to see some more variation in the fish/enemies

Project ProjectReally nice art and use of lighting! One issue is that when you have a massive clump of fish the light gets too bright and you can no longer see the individual sprites, there might be a way to fix that though

Asteroids: The Cabinet Experiencesuper creative i can see myself getting addicted to this if there were more stages after the sub

Escape the DungeonThis game was super-fun! The art style was super-cool and I kept zooming in wanting to look at it, and the music fit so extremely well with the setting.
I would like to see options to play without a mouse that has a scroll-wheel (perhaps WASD to pan the view).
Also, after a certain point, I asked myself "What's the goal?". It's really chill to just lay eggs and spawn tons of anglerfish, but is there more to it? I encountered the submarine and a mine, but I couldn't interact with them in any way. I was confused by the description that indicated you could eat those as well.
But yeah, I really enjoyed this game. Could probably get lost in it (not just literally because it's mostly black), the aesthetics are simply amazing.

Golden OpportunityThis is such a unique game, i loved the gameplay of just amassing and controlling a bunch of fish. And it looks incredible. Really well done!

I AM TETRISThe game is so atmospheric and eerie looking. Really interesting concept for reversed roles. Gameplay is also very responsive and has a hook to keep playing.
