The graphics are nice and simple, I had a difficult time telling how large a fish actually is, and how far away I am from a fish. The mouse control feels nice, though, and I think with some tweaking this could be really fun, great work! ^u^"},{"author_name":"mcmahoniel","author_uid":"50787","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 7:26am","epoch":1450077660,"text":"The hardest part is knowing which fish is actually smaller than you, but I love the idea!"},{"author_name":"makiki99","author_uid":"64374","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 9:48am","epoch":1450086180,"text":"Pretty fun game, fits growing theme easily, and nearly fits two button control theme. Graphics are okay, but it would be better if fishes far away were semi-transparent instead of instantly appearing and disappearing. It would also be better if you could easier find out if you can eat the target or not."},{"author_name":"ManuSaiz","author_uid":"46211","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 10:42pm","epoch":1450132620,"text":"Just like the classic but in 3D.

I found it difficult to find smaller fish, the indicator was a nice touch but perhaps a &quot;crosshair&quot; of sorts would have made it a bit easier. That said, I liked the fact it was hard to gauge if something was actually small or just far away... I got a kick out of that. Perhaps fewer fish with more complex AI and stronger feedback would have made this a bit easier to stay engaged, but I enjoyed the time I played. The sound and graphics had a nice ambiance."},{"author_name":"marod","author_uid":"62521","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 11:45pm","epoch":1450136400,"text":"I think it's not very innovative, but it's great!"},{"author_name":"ninjascript","author_uid":"35875","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:05am","epoch":1450224000,"text":"I like the idea but it can be tough to judge relative sizes of the other fish.

My only issues were that it took a while to figure out the red\/green target indicator meant edible\/inedible, it was a little laggy, and the target indicator didn't pop up sometimes. It was fun to swim around though, and I got a little bit of an adrenaline rush when I had to dodge a ton of big fish. Maybe one way to expand on the play is to make it a little more sparse, but add better indicators of where big and small fish are, then having big fish chase you, and little fish evade you, turning it into a series of chases, rather than aimless wandering. Also, adding some distance fog to hide the fish popping in and out might be good."},{"author_name":"Pepejson","author_uid":"51366","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 2:48pm","epoch":1450276980,"text":"Nice concept, however u should show via colors or something bigger or smaller fishes. The difference between sieze is too small.
