Also: for some reason I was unable to see which button did what (it fell of the screen). Having nowhere a setting to change the resolution, I was unable to increase the resolution and hoping the problem would go away.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Game looks nice and the idea is all right.

I think the &quot;random&quot; aspect could have been better applied to something other than the controls. Also, the screen wrapping was a bit jarring. Had your level size and camera viewport been the same size I don't think it would have been as bad, but having the camera jump from one side doesn't help, especially with the controls contently changing."},{"author_name":"bobismijnnaam","author_uid":"20562","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:33pm","epoch":1450117680,"text":"It was almost impossible to control the fish, and also every few seconds it switched around.

Switching the controls isn't interesting, it's just confusing. Also, when I started playing, my fish was going backwards, which really confused me and left a bad first impression.
