Big Fish in a Little Pond by Cpt Slimers

made by Cpt Slimers for LD 42 (JAM)

You're a fish! A small fish. At least for now. Consume everything in your path. Become too large to be contained. But be careful that you don't get eaten yourself. Many things hunger for your scrumptious fishy flesh. Watch out for bigger fish, hooks, birds, boats, and harpoons!

Controls-

Mouse- Aim

WASD- Move

Left Click- Lunge Forward

Would've liked to work more on this, but I was sick this weekend. Hope it's fun regardless!

Please note that if you're killed by the damage of a hook (Not by being pulled out of the water by a hook), the game breaks. I'm very sorry for this, and it is a known issue. Thank you for your time.

It doesn't look like much, and the idea of growing fish by eating smaller fish a la Osmos and agar.io is so played out that I have seen it done four or five times already since my first LD.

It lacks polish, but you probably know that. You could flip the sprites when the fish swin left, instead of rotating for example.

But this game has really great humour in the form of visual puns. I laughed out loud when I saw the sea lions and sword fish and sea horses.

Linux build works for me, you can remove the (untested).
