How does your game fit the theme?
You must go through a fish's life cycle, which is a loop in itself. The area is also round, to be run through infinitely, mutating and growing stronger each time - but so do competitor fish!

Submitted (1 edit)

a few feedback are:

  • lack of UI/HUD to explain the three lives available kind of bummer
  • the objective was not immediatly clear, I do appreatiate tho, the thougth of showing the eggs at the starting screen, but it took me a few lives to properly pay attention to it

It's really interesting to play (and really difficult, I died so many times  xd). And it's cool that you've created a lot of mechanics. Good job!
