It's a little too much "angry bird" for my taste. Okay, I mainly said that because I lost. Sorry.

Love it. The fact that we see were we died remind me Super Meat Boy!
Love the control and the difficulty!

This is pretty fun, more so than I would have thought from the screenshot.

Some advice for a post-compo version: some people will find it more natural to control the fish with left/right instead of up/down.

There's many dead fishes in front of my screen. lol

That was really hard (I lost). I like the dead fish staying around. No replay?

I think this game would have benefited from either a more Flappy Bird sort of scoring system that judges your progress based on how far you got, or a much more forgiving maze to test your ability to target the enemy at the end. At least, I assume that's how it works; I never got to the end.

Man, this is REALLY hard at first! I was not able to finish :(

Was pretty fun! I would have preferred the option to reverse the controls however.

Challenging, but it gets a little frustrating at times.

Had some little problems with the collisions but well done!

Really funny game. Simple but addictive.

The game is one of those nice little time wasters (in a good way :)) Something you could add is some effects when the fish is launched and when you hit your target.

That was like a ludum dare flappy bird. Very addictive and enjoyable for me

I did it!
But I forgot the color of my target, so I killed the wrong one :(

This game was fun, and you should improve it!

As @frnknstn, players should be able to switch control to left/right :D

Also, check your colosion algorithm.
A few times my fish touched the red bars, but the game didnt count that.

I really enjoyed the game! I wish there were more levels, but of course with time constraints I understand. Definitely enjoyed the title, great game.

I like controlling a guided missle, though the speed is fast enough that it was pretty tough. :P

I enjoyed it, reminded me of my car's terrible turning radius.

It took a few tries but I could finish it! Found it challenging at the right level: not so easy but also not so hard.

So many dead fish. Agree with some others, left right felt like it would have been more natural but once I got the hang of it it was fine.

It was fun. Well done in its concept, challenging and hard to make it.
I like the splash screen graphs, the game could be more interesting with this aesthetics.
Good luck!

Nice game. Simple, but quite difficult and challenging. I don't think I can reach the end in a short time :)
surpent24 Apr 2015, 12:22
Fun! But I could not clear.
This game is the time thief!
BeardoGames24 Apr 2015, 15:43
Very cool, reminds me of the old arcade game Looping, especially with the wide turns of your fish missile. It's also great that your failures stick around for you to see!

Cool game, challenging. As you may understand while playing my entry, i'm a big fan for water-animals :-)

Wow I was feeling down for a while now but these comments made me a tad happy. Guess I gotta work on a post compo version :D Thanks for the critiques guys!
