How does your game fit the theme?
The final lifecycle of a salmon is the spawning cycle in which the fish returns to its birthplace to reproduce. This journey exhausts the fish immensely, usually ending in death. Mechanically this has been executed through an arcade style Countdown/Timer system of escalating difficulties underlined by audiovisual feedback like the representing the visual decay of these fish undergoing this cycle.

Wow great vibe. I loved the opening text. Music was super chill. It was fun to swim around with the little fish following you. Really funny end screen pun (De)Spawned. Fantastic job!
I'm really impressed with the art and graphics for this one. There are so many details going on. This must have taken so much time and effort! I really enjoyed just swimming around and looking at it all. Cool game. Well done!
Wow such a unique original idea! You should try to develop this further after the event, when you have more time.
fih based physics
The visuals were stunning, I would appreciate a swim up/down option (maybe there was one and I'm just blind). The beginning - definition, facts was quite interesting. Good job!
As a fellow fish game, I love your execution of the concept (especially visually and musically)!! While I didn't quite get to see the visual decay themes, I found this to be a great, polished game that had me playing for a good while. Great job! ^^
Lovely! I never knew I wanted to be a salmon. But now I know. Really well executed, love the visuals and the music was super relaxing. I could fertile eggs all day. Well done!
A really nice game! I like the visuals a lot and the gameplay is smooth. The audio and the environment were relaxing and I had a good time. Great work!
It frankly does not get better than this, I swam my little heart out.
This was an ethereal experience, I want to be a salmon, thank you
i love fih🐠🐠🐠
The artstyle and music give the game a very relaxing feeling while playing. I like that it has a intuitive tutorial which many games of similar genre lack.
Did I just become a father of 90 little salmons? ahahah Damn, this game is so beautiful, The Ps1 athmosphere, the controllers, the music, the art! everything is pure perfection! GOOD JOB!

I like this one. really funny concept and it made me laugh, but i like underwater games
cool vibe! really liked the art & how you incorporated something so specific into the theme
This is so awesome, the sound and art design is top tier! really similar to the game "eating nature".
