A Chinese Legend tells about the waterfall called Dragon Gate.
It is said that when a carp successfully ascends the waterfall, it is transformed into a Dragon.

Do you have the MONSTROUS strength of a dragon to ascend Dragon Gate?

This game has a lot of charm :) well done. Once I figured it out I won and it was quite rewarding to win :)

I like how when you loose you just fall all physicsy down. The rocks were a bit hard to spot. Overall an interesting concept and simple but fun game.

The lack of music hurts the mood severely. Ambient koto noises and a rushing stream would have made this game. Also Q didn't seem to do anything.

Would have been nice to see the rocks be slightly less round, or at least not obviously scaled spheres (normal maps are your friend).

Otherwise, very nice fish graphics and a good style. I enjoyed the game overall.

The water gives headache, but the idea is very cool.

Nice rocks and Japanese art. The use of the legend is very interesting. I feel like music&sounds would given a more finishing touch to this game though.

Nice game! Nice concept, nice graphics (specially the carps). With a bit of polish it will become a charming little game. I would change the emeralds for something more chinese, though :). Good job!

I like the positive interpretation of the theme and the original concept you made with it.

Cool game, it took me a while to figure out what the other fish were there for, I even thought they were my allies at one point, I think the changing of directions had a bit too much momentum but it was a nice serene game

Had issues with controls on web version. Art looks pretty cool. Would love to have some zen music playing in the background. I think the mood would've been much improved by audio. Also, it was a different take on the theme than I've seen so far (not a literal monster, horrible person, etc) Cool entry.
