Click and/or drag to guide the fish. Try to eat as much food as you can while keeping at least one fish alive.
Tip: Since the food (green box) is on the surface of the water, it can be pushed using the waves in the water.
Extra: Try leaving the fish alone for a few seconds. :P

Worked on this solo and was supposed to be a compo entry, but I ended up changing my design less than 12 hours left for submission. That's what I get for being busy during the weekend. :P
The game was pretty chill and relaxing and I had a pretty good time playing it. The minimalist approach works but still it felt to me that the game was missing something.
What a nice game. Playing this feels like meditating. :)
I did not like the mixing of the art styles: The fish were like vector graphics, the food was 3D and the enemy (hunger or some sort of abstract threat?) was blurred Pixel Graphics.
I guess it's not that instinctive. The clicking or dragging is like dipping your finger in a pool of water, trying to get the attention of the fish, guiding them somewhere.
I have the same sentiment with the art of the threat, just not sure how to represent it abstractly - showing that it's a threat, but not too menacing that it strays from the general mood of the game. >.<
This was pretty awesome. I think it would work perfectly on a phone or tablet. Some sound effects would be good too, but the music was nice. One suggestion would be to get the fish to follow the path you draw and not just head straight to the last place you touched, could be cool if you could try and get them to dodge the enemies. Good job :)
Simple, pleasant and relaxing game - I like how you put together very simple mechanics and turned it into a relaxing game. Give it some more polish and release it for phones!
Very relaxing. I think vector graphics would've been nice for the whole game, but it still looks pretty good, and the music was great! Also, I agree with dook that this would work really well on a touchscreen interface.
Music was pretty good, and the gameplay was decent. An improvement might be a type of obstacle to avoid that pops up in random locations with a bit of a warning, rather than just blobs that chase you.
Very chilled out, only managed 28 :( I love how the fish multiply, at first I thought that the other fish were my competitors, but when I realised I controlled them all it was great to manage to catch a sneaky bit of food with a newly created fish!

Good job.
Good job...

Thanks for the comments! :)
The mood is good too, the color are well chosen, feels calm and relaxing
