Not bad. Reminds me of EVO.

fun but too random. Sometimes we loose without we can do anything...
With a small zoom out and custom collision detection, it would be more fun...
A lot of begins are unlucky because of random part.
And why I lost when I had the big boss body?!
(and nice graphics, with animations it would be really cool)

Reminds of Spore (the first level, with all the organisms). Game is fun, if I were to add something I'd also make the rest of the fishes hunt each other occasionally, instead of making a conga train behind you.

Seems a bit too random, and therefore too hard. Consert is a bit like some mobilegames, and works actually quite well, but maybe the larger fish should first appear later :)

It's cool! A few particles are or other things on the screen could be helpful to help see the movement of you fish though. :)

Had a lot of fun playing it, although I was appallingly bad at it.

The game is indeed addictive, we played it for over half an hour :-). A few things that I think can be improved:
- Collision boxes. It feels very unfair at times, because you don't actually touched anything and die.
- Mouse lock. The mouse stops responding as soon as it leaves the game window.
- The music is a quite repetitive.

But otherwise a very nice game :-).

In line with the holy trinity of themes "upgrade", "upgrading" and "upgrades"? ;) Fun game, hard in the beginning, but I improved. I found the soundtrack pretty annoying, but the sprites are very very nice :)

omg this is so funny! It was hard to keep alive my fish for a while!
Nice idea!

Cute game! I love the GB graphics, very nostalgic. I wish the FOV was larger, and the collisions were a bit tighter for the larger fish, but overall, it's a nice take on a single player agar.io! Good job! :)

Fun to play, but I wish the big fish would quit ganging up on me! Haha. I liked the art style, as well. This game reminds me of Flow!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Great game. I really enjoyed everything about it. My only problem with the game is that sometimes every big fish seems to follow me all across the map which is both hard, and unrealistic. Anyways, I loved the art and the music. The controls are very smooth,and responsive.You should consider expanding the game.
