The music and sound effects are fitting too and give a pretty good retro vibe.
Good work!
I really like this system for bullet hell. Getting hit by bullets is okay if you can recover quickly. The fact that eggs go away when they hit me meant I could even shield my fish from the eggs, which led to being able to make a lot of interesting decisions within this small field.

I only have a few minor nitpicks that don't really affect my score for this:
1. The penguin that eats your fish should be a different color, kinda like the enemy penguins. I was confused and thought I was eating the fish at first
2. The time between when you teach how to fight enemy penguins and when you next encounter them is pretty long. I can see people forgetting what key to press in that time.
tech note: i played on linux using wine. it worked perfectly :-)
