Why are you so nervous little goldfish? Lie down on the couch & let's see if we can get to the bottom of your deep rooted fears - fears that lie at the bottom of that dark cold ocean.

It's a game featuring cod-psychology and a bit of arcade dodging. To play use the mouse to move this fish and use the keyboard to respond to the questions.

It was written in Processing (my first complete game using Processing), with Caustic for the music & bfxr for sound fx.

Edit: Thanks to KevinWorkman (& his SVGExe software) I now have a self-executing Java/Jar file that anyone should be able to run regardless of system. :-) Link below.

Edit 2: The Processing source code is a combination of the TellMeAboutYour.pde file (in the "Source" folder), plus the media files in the "data" folder.

It's not as finished/polished as I'd like it to be. I had grand ideas, involving bubble guns & chase stages in later parts of the game to give it more variety, as well as your psychology decisions influencing later game play. Now I'm getting to grips with Processing (and enjoying it) hopefully those developments & more will appear in a later version.
