The mood is good and the idea is probably promising, but I feel sorry for the fish, who cannot win and who apparently managed to become trapped in an area with walls on ALL side.
I really like the jumpy/bouncing movement of the fish, and in this case the dark screen made for a really oppressive atmosphere. However, I ended up dying for reasons I didn't understand, and gaining points for reasons I didn't understand, either. The game might have been easier to process if the entire playing field were available onscreen at a time, rather than panning with the movement of the fish.
