In this game you are a little fish who is swimming deeper and deeper into the ocean. But watch out! There will be bigger fish trying to eat you! The further you go down, the more fish there is, and more species.
You use the W, A, S, D or the ARROW keys to move. Eat gold fish for points.
This game was made for the 48th Ludum Dare game jam. It was really fun to make and i also had some help by a friend who made the music for the game. Add him on discord: ZETA#7601

Simple and challenging game, I had fun eating the small goldfish and avoiding the predators. Unfortunately, the game lagged quite a bit for me.

Simple, yet fun. :v:

You could have used a different font color for the INFO part, it was pretty hard to read on the background.

Anyways, great job! :fish:

The jellyfish made me jump! It started off slow but gets kind of challenging towards the end. The background getting darker was a nice touch to show the different levels. I liked the fish variety, too. Good job!

Note that you need to upload source code as well as the final build

Hey! Thought the game was great! I think it would benefit from a higher difficulty curve. Like it starts spawning more enemies faster or they move in different patterns. There is potential for a fun hyper casual game here though.

The audio is REALLY cool ! Good job !

a little bit slow to start but nice game afterall

Pretty fun, nice fish designs. a pixel art background would have made the game look more polished. the music really got me pumped. I think it progressed a little slow but it was still pretty nice.

Simple but becomes more and more challenging! Nice works! Maybe it will be more fun if can add more small fishes.

Good music.

ahhhh the jellyfish!! The zig-zag upwards swim pattern is something I haven't really seen in a game like this. Fun!

I thought it was a fun game that could use some small adjustments. First, I really liked the variety of fish, but I think it took too long to get to that variety. I thought that the only enemies were the angler-fish types for about a minute or two of playing. It got a lot more fun and I'm glad I stuck with it, but I could see players getting turned away by not seeing much variety initially. I think to fix this problem you should just make things either move a bit faster or have more fish start appearing sooner. Overall, I liked this take on the theme and think you did a good job!

Agreed with guladam, simple, yet fun =)
Anyway is a good job!

It was interesting for me to play this game. I liked the soundtrack very much. Good job) Thank you))

The beginning was so boring, it could really use a steeper difficulty curve.
Just when it started to become interesting, the jelly popped out of nowhere xD

haha made me shit in my pants.

Overall good entry! Well done
