Reminds me a lot to a game in what you control a fish and have to eat other fishes to grow, but this it's a good rework, nice job!

Nice idea. On Linux works fine. Pleasant graphics

@Infraviolet this may be caused by
1) running the execuable without extracting it from the zip.
2) not having the 'img' folder extracted to the same location as the executable.
If it's neither of these, then I'm afraid I can't help.

@Others: Thanks for the positive feedback :)

I've played a couple of variations of this game before. None involved mining though :D
It simple, but fun.

P.S: Do you grow hungry faster when you are bigger?

@SuperIzzo
Thanks :D
Yes, you do get hungry faster when you are bigger. Also, the food increase you get from eating is proportional to the ratio of your size to the other fish's size. The balance of these are the things I'm least happy with. I didn't want it to be too easy, but I think it's ended up being a bit too hard.

Good idea fun to play.

funny game :)

Fun to play, this is a good idea for a gameplay.

Pretty fun game-concept, graphics could use some more polish, though. All in all quite well done!

This reminded me of Osmos. Nice game! And this was done in Java! Nice. I'm definitely checking the source code how you have done this.

The fun for me with these kind of games have always been when you can just swim around and eat everything. In this game it seems that the extra hunger from increased size make it a bad idea to try and actually become big.

Avoiding the fish is too easy , not dying from hunger is too hard.

I think the graphics are simplistic, but the game is good fun. There is quite a bit of strategy involved in this game. Maybe it's better to have the mineable blocks in other places than just at the bottom.

Good Idea. Good Work :-)

great idea, crazy fun and silly. who knew fish would be so good at mining?

I liked the dual mechanic of mining and eating.

lol this was fun. good work!

This game was a lot of fun! Could definitely use some balancing. The mining was a really funny/fun addition to the game play. Nice work!
