You only have one minute to evolve through as many generations as possible.

Arrow keys or WASD keys. Eat fish for evolution points, force an evolution once past halfway with SPACE.

Pretty interesting game, you kind of get the feeling though at some point there's just going to be too many jellyfish and not enough fish to eat and there's no way around that happening whereever the levels were programmed to be set too high. Maybe add some more different kinds of creatures to interact with and a victory condition.

Simple and clean concept, very nice there. Graphics are also great. The background doesn't get in the way of identifying the fish, good use of color.

Not sure what the benefit of NOT pressing space after the midway point is, so to me it seems like that could be an automatic thing once you get enough points to evolve. It also felt odd to collect a super small fish for 400 points and a giant one for 100. Seems scale of the fish and points they give could have been linked more.

Good game, but too simple. Maybe adding some more tipes of fish or something else to do.

Yet a very good game.

Cool game! Very interesting what you did with two types of fish (evo / time) and enemies (-evo / -time). Kinda remembers arcade race games like Cruis'n World, running against the clock and fighting for each second earned!

I think it looks nice, good colour palette and clean sprites. It started to get interesting later on, when your time was running out.

Eat all of the fishes! A nice entry.
