I like that you can kill the other fish, in fact you can pretty much solo all of them except the big white ones (maybe if you used the rocks you could solo them?). The game art is also very nice."},{"author_name":"Pacifist Games","author_uid":"10510","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:38am","epoch":1335162780,"text":"I didn't really know what to do at first, based on what the About screen said I thought I'd just have to collect a ton of fish. After a little messing around I realized I was supposed to kill the enemy fish. It takes a lot of hits to kill the enemies, and I found it a little tedious. My best score was 2. I enjoyed that you could jump out of the water, and I like the idea of moving around a school of fish. You should definitely keep working on it! :)"},{"author_name":"j_peeba","author_uid":"5503","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:41am","epoch":1335162960,"text":"Shows promise and the underlying idea is neat but it's in a little too rough shape at the moment to have much fun with."},{"author_name":"cirolve","author_uid":"7965","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:43am","epoch":1335163080,"text":"I was a bit confused on how to get a score, but even after I figured it out it seemed strange. gameplay probably would be better with a few tweaks, other than that though, the graphics have a very nice hand drawn style and was pleasant to look at. the movement system with the mouse was also nicely done and had a very flowy like feel, good job :)"},{"author_name":"mattchu","author_uid":"8693","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:45am","epoch":1335163200,"text":"Interesting idea.

It took me a while to really understand what was going on - kinda reminds me of dogfighting games, how fights are a matter of who can stay on whose tail.

Respect the fact that you attempted to combine Starcraft and Shark! Shark! Really disappointed that there was no music. It was also unclear when I was doing damage (when the other fish flashed) versus when I was taking damage (the fish dropping meter decreased) maybe with some better theatrics around combat this would be fun, but right now it feels like you recruit an awesome army of fishermen to do not much. I would definitely play another game with this art direction though."},{"author_name":"schizofunky","author_uid":"11944","time":"Apr 30, 2012 @ 4:20pm","epoch":1335802500,"text":"Nice graphics and folow mechanics!
