The loop was very repetitive and got annoying quite fast, but I enjoyed the idea of guarding a swarm of fish to safety. Whole swarm got squashed between two whales. :(

Nice idea! The collision detection was a bit cruel though, was certainly no blue near me when I got killed off.

neat idea. I'd play more of this if you tightened up the controls and the collision a bit. Overall a pretty cool game :)

The music got annoying very quickly, might have imagined it but it seems like the whales can change hitbox by turning around. There doesn't really seem to be any depth to the gameplay, surviving until you get surrounded is trivial.

Good idea but it needs better controls.

do a check for the sound before you play it to make sure it doesnt keep looping over itself like that!! collisions weren't great, but i liked it, awesome idea and actually quite scary once you start playing
