I like how you incorporated the "Growing" theme into this. I also liked the sound and such (although it seems to cut off and stop playing once you beat a level or two). Other than that, really good stuff. :)"},{"author_name":"danbolt","author_uid":"6930","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 4:45am","epoch":1450068000,"text":"I feel like the "fish eat fish now get bigger" games I played on Flash portals as a kid were slow and boring. This is much faster, quicker, and more interesting!\r\rYou get a GitHub star too. ;P"},{"author_name":"Elenesski","author_uid":"57748","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 5:17am","epoch":1450069920,"text":"Good job on the game.

The way the fish swim is pretty humorous :) I didn't like how they seem to gather on the screen borders but it's a fun game.

The fish colouring was a nice touch and helped understand which ones you can eat and which ones you can't eat. :)"},{"author_name":"Emkiusz","author_uid":"64506","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 3:06pm","epoch":1450105260,"text":"Nice little game :D Too bad the music is so short :P"},{"author_name":"kailijan","author_uid":"63837","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 3:46pm","epoch":1450107660,"text":"Great game!

Good awesome-per-second in this, I think the difficulty ramped well, and I liked the short levels. I thought it was mouse only (with mouse-pad) which was slightly awkward, but then I realized that I of course could play it with the keyboard. Could have been interesting with some harder levels at the end.\r\rAll in all. Well done, I enjoyed it :)"},{"author_name":"kepons","author_uid":"64216","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 8:26pm","epoch":1450556460,"text":"Not exactly anything new, but it was quite fun and I liked the music."},{"author_name":"ruerob","author_uid":"36728","time":"Dec 20, 2015 @ 4:58pm","epoch":1450630380,"text":"Your game is really fun to play!
