Ambush Predator 7: Angry Angler by SimianLogic
When the theme was first announced, my thoughts drifted to what we normally consider "villainous" creatures -- crocodiles, angler fish, sharks... after reading up a little on angler fish, I got the idea to make you "shake" your bioluminescent bacteria to hunt other fish.
*Move with WASD (angler fish are slow)
*Take a bite with the spacebar
*Shake your mouse to shake your bioluminescent bacteria and attract fish.
*Shake too much and they'll see your ugly face and run away (watch for the exclamation point).
*Fish above you are attracted to your light. Fish below you are repulsed.
*Eat fish to get bigger.
*Eat too big of a fish and you will explode.
*Get big enough and you will rule the ocean forever.
=====================
I'd hoped to do a giant squid boss fight at the end, but ran out of time.
I was literally adding the game over state as time expired, so you may not be able to actually "beat" the game.

Fun and addictive game. Nice work!
The lighting mechanic was great, the atmospheric sounds really helped a lot.
Kinda needs something to verify that you've won.
I like how as you slowly grow, you look more and more evil looking
Fantastic game mechanic. Simple, fun, and unique.
