I scored 36!

I like the fact you eat bread. Fish love bread.

Someone needs to sort out whoever is polluting the ocean though.

Fun game, very playable. I like the progression of each level (more than I expected at first).

Didn't really understand why I died. Was it because of the small fishes? Why do the small fishes hurt my big fish in that case? Hard to know how to shoot. And what I was supposed to shoot. But it was fun swimming around collecting stuff!

Hehe, drunk fish! Also giant logs out of nowhere, haha. (wouldn't they float?)

Larry! Fun little game, enjoyed it more and more as I played. The sound effect for drunk Larry was hilarious too, good way to make it more than just dodge things that directly damage you.

Well designed, introduced the gameplay elements gradually, and super fun! Great job

I like how you introduced gameplay mechanics one at a time, and it's easy enough to pick up. You made a good effort at audio feedback, but there's a number of things with no feedback (picking up bread, getting hit by some obstacles, shooting, etc.), and that makes it a bit confusing to figure out what happened. Nice work!

Good underwater feel. Fish movement felt a little too slow. It has some nice humorous elements.

Cute game, nice polish. There's actually a lot going on in this game, so great job. You might want to think about modifying the fish movement, maybe adding acceleration and more "fish-like" movement, that will go a long way to making this feel like a "real" game.

I just scored 46 :D Great graphics and mood and what @KevinWorkman said about the movement.

I avoided alcohol.. apparently it reverses your controls? Upping an innovation point for that. Good scaling difficulty - one of the best compo games so far that has that right. The octopus surprised me! Unique angle on the shooting (forward and up). Seriously you had my interest on "You are the fish, shoot with space". Great job

I get the feeling Larry has some serious substance abuse issues. +1 for deep emotional character development
