I was crying laughing the first time I tried this. Very fun game, a little frustrating and difficult to control but maybe this was intentional? The intro to the level is a nice touch too!

My fish died and I barely walked a meter, I think I'm playing it wrong!

The intro was very promising but it is very hard to control the guy. He moves very slow and goes left-right all the time. So I gave up. But besides that, the game looks very funny and nice!

Funny how he is wobbling his way :D sometimes I was just running around the next fishbowl. Good job!

This is super-charming.

Lots of cute little touches, like when the fish runs out of water and grows wings :'D

Like others, I also found this tricky to control. I think the controls are from the characters perspective but my brain is expecting them to be from the cameras perspective.

Great work getting in so many elements for the levels and environments!

This is amazing. It's pretty, the controls are just just about clumsy enough to make it fun and not too frustrating (I assume that was intentional), and the size of the levels is impressive for such a short time. Only the camera is a bit annoying at times.

Good idea ! It's been fun to try to save this little fish. I really like the graphics and the general mood. The player seems drunk but I think it is on purpose to make the game harder. I had some weird issue when I fell, it took time before going back to the start of the level. Overall, good entry !

Wow this was fun! Rotating felt goofy but "right", it reminded me of other challenging physics games. Amazing graphics, probably the best I've seen yet! I'd love to see more levels if you keep working on it, like running through an office or a factory.

THIS WAS SUPER FUN!!! And I love goldfishes :fish: Enough challenging, level intro animation-camera-roll was a great addition. I laughed so hard, thank you!

Fun and challenging indeed. Enjoyed the experience a lot, though there were spots where it felt a bit clunky at times. I started falling, but constantly jumping helped me out and bounced me rather far ahead then. Overall atmoshpere was great and graphics were bright and superb!

Whoa, I'm always faalling into that rotating platform pit!

Was a lot of fun to keep the fish balanced and jump over the sticks though :)

More bonus points for the tutorial and majestic camera run over the level.

I think the water never really was an issue, so extra water bonuses could be a bit more scarce or require from you some additional awkward jumps, perhaps?

Overall, very nice :thumbsup:

Well that was delightfully silly! It reminds me a bit of the biking game Guts and Glory just for the devilish obstacle-course style of the levels and the wacky physics-y ways to die. I think your game could really benefit from some checkpoints, as my one point of criticism, but I thought it was really funny, fun, and cute. Great work!

liked the game - maybe if you have to balance the glass in the same time too - this would be interesting

This was super cute and fun. Though the camera was the bane of my existence a couple of times in there.
