The intro and game over animations are really impressive. The mechanic is simple but very interesting to play: Nearer you are to the Fish leads to higher risk and difficulty. The lilypads add so much variation to the gameplay. Well done making such a brilliant one-button game!
I also like the details everywhere. The signal circle expanded from the Fish when it is about to bash is really nice for the gameplay experience. Layers of the background music varies depending on the game state and the distance between the Spider and the Fish, which is even better.
The character designs and the animation of the Fish are superb, but I don't think the animation of the Spider is as good. Maybe because it is not as smooth as other visual elements in the game.
It is very tricky to hit multiple bullets in a row, otherwise only one bullet can hit per round. I think the game is a bit harder than the level I could beat.
Overall although there are some minor flaws in my opinion, I still enjoyed the game very much. Congrats!
The artwork is lovely. The way spider only shoots *backward* makes for an interesting twist, and managing that plus navigating the environment with the strange circular movement and lily pads which are sometimes helpful and sometimes *not* was a good challenge.
Took me a while to realize the fish had more than one distinct move, after which I was able to complete it, but fish health might be a little high. That sucking-in move is tough.
Also, a note that I get ` git@gitlab.com: Permission denied (publickey).` when attempting to git clone, I had to download the zip. Extra friction might turn people off trying to install.

Have fun :v:

The gameplay is basically the final boss of a very hard game right from the start. The controls were very innovative actually.
I wasn't able to kill the boss in like 30 tries. Still, 4/5 from me.
