Other feedback, (1) I was a bit confused with the art for the first brown fish... I didn't realize there was a difference between the anglerfish and the brown fish... I thought I was just doing what I was supposed to be doing... then I realized the anglerfish was the goal and at the very bottom. --> I guess I didn't read the instructions well, perhaps if that fish was another color like yellow, it would have been more clear they were different fish (2) I think a clean red X for those (guardfish?) would have been better to be clear it was not possible to catch. (3) I am still a bit confused about the middle power-up, was it just supposed to help me avoid?
But overall, very nice. I really enjoyed it, the art kept me going.
There are no credits for the music, did you make it? It fits the mood.
Absolutely love the art, I think the pacing and progression could use a little smoothing out. I liked Rhoka's idea of having the speech bubble show a target fish that helps progress the player.
Also, when unity's progress bar gets to 90%, it gets stuck for a good minute with no indication that anything is happening. Does this in Safari and Firefox.
