Artwork is super cute, the design of the creatures and the background aquariums are amazing. I particularly like the halloween level. Game does feel like being in an aquarium. I also like how the other creatures do not damage the player, just jostle them around. Which makes the game nice and chill.

The playful background music adds a humorous flair to the overall experience. \nMy only issue here is that using the WASD and space bar controls is quite challenging for a left-handed person like me, who uses the mouse with the left hand. I lack the skill, let's say, to control it like that. Perhaps including both WASD and IJKL keys could solve the problem because then I could use my right hand for controls. \ud83d\ude0a  ","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1092308,"author_name":"Harmadillo","author_uid":"harmadillo","epoch":1728406271,"text":"Nice shrimp.

It's a good shrimple game. I thought at first the other sealife were obstacles, but once I bounced off of the crab harmlessly I just spun around eatin' up all the algae. The art is very cute!
