Eat to evolve, evolve to eat! You start as a tiny fish, trying to find food and avoid becoming food. As you eat, you grow and gain abilities. What kind of fish will you become?
Had a blast doing our second Ludum Dare. Unfortunately we had to leave a number of ideas on the cutting floor but we are happy and satisfied with the result.
We hope you'll have as much fun playing as we had making this game. Looking forward to your comments and critique.

I'm sorry but my internet can't handle half a gigabyte...
Moze to i bolje :P
but its cool-- good balance of danger and discovery, a system of progression.
Note: I did get stuck in the lvl up screen after I got ate from behind by one of those big red guys.
The side dodging ability was kinda overpowered, since I could just press A and D rapidly to run away incredibly fast and the piranhas could never catch me.
Other than that the game looks really nice, audio is nice and the controls were nice too.
Mostly technical issues stopped it from being fun. Being able to hide in the little cracks and crevices as a small fish would have been neat were it not for the fact both I and the bigger predators can swim straight through apparently solid objects. Also after picking up the first couple of food blocks, I found I couldn't eat them anymore? Wasn't sure if this was because I had levelled up and now needed to be eating small fish or what (also couldn't find any small fish after the first couple right at the start of the game beginning). I'd also say leave the predators' appearance until a bit later on (liek maybe when it gets dark, but that being after 3 or 4 minutes rather than just 1 minute).
