Feed Me! by UrbanHelsing
Story:
Aliens from outer space have taken control over humans. They bear a striking
resemblance to Earth’s fish, which caused some humans to keep them as pets. What the
foolish humans don’t realize is that they are the ones being held captive.
The fish are now forcing humans via mind control to go out and acquire the only food
from our ecosystem that they can tolerate, which ironically is fish.
You try to fight it, but you can’t help trying to carry out their mission to
the best of your capabilities. Pray that your family doesn’t find you like this...
Mission:
Your mission is to find fish, reel them in and then feed them to your pet fish.
Row your boat with the oars using the left and rigth arrow keys.
When you see rippling water, move there and you will start fishing.
Fishing requires you to press the correct inputs as seen on top of the screen.
Feeding your pet will make it grow. Keep feeding until it becomes huge, then you win.
Controls:
LEFT ARROW: Left Oar / Left Input
RIGHT ARROW: Right oar / Right Input
Problems:
EDIT: Latest version of avast fixes this problem.
1. If the game won't run, try disabling Avast (or your antivirus program), copy the .exe-file and then run the copy.
2. If there is no sound, install OpenAL (by running "oalinst.exe")

7/10 too much water.
The pattern matching mechanic to catch a fish was cool too, though a bit too forgiving to be a challenging obstacle. On the other hand, I agree that the fish were very difficult to find. Several times, I accidentally rowed into a fish without seeing the ripples in the water, and there where many long periods where I did not see a fish at all (usually ending with my fish starving).
I really like the story behind the game, and the gameplay concept you've created. With some polish, I could see this being really fun.
