Thank you for your game!

To be honest, I do not know what goal you are pursuing, perhaps this game should be dynamic, aggressive. But I got some relaxation by playing it and impaling other fish on the spike :-)

It has a pleasant visual and sound accompaniment. Not very responsive controls.

There is one critical bug - I got stuck in textures a couple of times. And the most important minus-there is no menu button or at least exit the game.

PS
I didn't fully understand why the second fish that looks like me appears, because it just gets stuck in the texture and I can't interact with it.

I understand perfectly well that you did not manage to implement all of what was planned, so I will say that I liked the game as a whole. I wish you good luck in finalizing it!
You are a great fellow!

@taigha Thank you for playing our game! I was the sound designer and composer but would like to answer a few of your questions.

The goal was simply to impale as many fish as possible - to some people it's nerve-wracking, to some - relaxing like you mentioned.

The critical bug is still in the game because we could not find a solution in our team's timeframe of 48 hours. We do have a solution to it now but I'm not sure we're allowed to patch it?

The second "you" appearing is a fun bug that we decided to leave in as a surprise feature (previous jam theme: It's a feature, not a glitch!)

We had more features and plans for the game, alas we ran out of time.

Thanks!

The game was fine, but it was near impossible to kill any of the other fish.
The model seemed a bit stiff as well.
Fun take on the theme though.
