Fun game, very playable. I like the progression of each level (more than I expected at first).
Didn't really understand why I died. Was it because of the small fishes? Why do the small fishes hurt my big fish in that case? Hard to know how to shoot. And what I was supposed to shoot. But it was fun swimming around collecting stuff!
That reverse control was pure evil :)
Simple game, but enjoyed it. well done.
The alcohol obstacle was really smart, overall very fun game
despite being really basic and primitive it's a pretty fun play
Hehe, drunk fish! Also giant logs out of nowhere, haha. (wouldn't they float?)
Larry! Fun little game, enjoyed it more and more as I played. The sound effect for drunk Larry was hilarious too, good way to make it more than just dodge things that directly damage you.
Nice progression system; it made me play more to see what was next.
I scored 49 ! Cool game ! Really nice art ! My kids would play this on mobile device :)
Well designed, introduced the gameplay elements gradually, and super fun! Great job
I like how you introduced gameplay mechanics one at a time, and it's easy enough to pick up. You made a good effort at audio feedback, but there's a number of things with no feedback (picking up bread, getting hit by some obstacles, shooting, etc.), and that makes it a bit confusing to figure out what happened. Nice work!
Good underwater feel. Fish movement felt a little too slow. It has some nice humorous elements.
Cute game, nice polish. There's actually a lot going on in this game, so great job. You might want to think about modifying the fish movement, maybe adding acceleration and more "fish-like" movement, that will go a long way to making this feel like a "real" game.
I just scored 46 :D Great graphics and mood and what @KevinWorkman said about the movement.
I avoided alcohol.. apparently it reverses your controls? Upping an innovation point for that. Good scaling difficulty - one of the best compo games so far that has that right. The octopus surprised me! Unique angle on the shooting (forward and up). Seriously you had my interest on "You are the fish, shoot with space". Great job
I get the feeling Larry has some serious substance abuse issues. +1 for deep emotional character development

You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I scored 36!
I like the fact you eat bread. Fish love bread.
Someone needs to sort out whoever is polluting the ocean though.
