Saw this on youtube, good game lol.
Eat small fish to become bigger.
Be eaten by big fish to become smaller.
Moving makes you smaller.
Bigger fish deeper down.
WASD to move.
(W: up, S: down, A: left, D: right).
NOTES:
No sound.
Hitboxes are f---ed.
Scorekeeping is weird/unexplained on purpose.
Mostly unstable.
Graphics are f---ed on purpose.
UPDATE 07.11.2012:
More dynamic scorekeeping, still f---ed.
Spawn/despawn cycle slightly less f---ed.
Added rough mouse (Android) controls.
(They're pretty much f---ed).

Ok, is too basic, in fact the concept itself is extremly basci, thats not bad, is a good way to start programing, now you have the structure of a game, so is time to think whats next, here some advices:
1-ad some music (but not relaxing music, somenthing more crazy that will keep the player in game)
2-ad frames (i want to see that salmon swiming)
3-ad somenthing: the concept is basic, but yoy can transform it into somenthing that represent you, and ad even somenthing new
finally the controls excellent, so i think is a work in progres so good luck
It's pretty basic, alright. The only good thing I can really say about it is that the controls are nice and responsive.
Thanks. It's not meant to be polished - 90% of the work went into tuning the controls, fat gain/loss rate, chase/flee speeds, and spawn/despawn distances (based on fish size) so that it "feels right" and even that got a little messed up by a last-second stability fix.
It wasn't horrible. Just make sure thatyou have the picture frame in front of the fish that you have swimming by and maybe a counter to show how many fish you've eaten.
Also, what kind of a fish is that?
Thanks, that's far better praise than I expected for this mess! Actually, the frame is intentionally set behind the fish, because frames behind fish all the time.
That is a Salmon, noblest fish of all the Pacific.
The other fish are (supposed to be) Herring, Trout, Salmon again, Sculpin (more like a lingcod due to its size in game), and of course, the mighty Halibut.
