Well, sure it's a bit of fun... like, once (I know I'm not the target audience, but really). Surely the question is more what not to improve rather than what to improve, but anyway, I'll tell you what I think needs some purely aestethical improvements for starters:

- Animate Freddy, it looks hella cheap when he's just a symbol moving up and down. The best thing would probably be to make him swim (look up "Animation Challenge Wk4-6" here on Newgrounds if you need help with that) as the player presses up and down- eventually just make a short FbF-loop of him waving his arms like an idiot or something, so at least he isn't completely static. Same with the fishes and flies.
- Some kind of background would make it look much better- just draw some bog or whatever in the background. Or, since it is a game for kids and stuff, some unicorns and royal rainbows. Anything else than that ugly cyan colour.
- Freddy should make a sound when hit by a fish, branch, fly or heart. Like, "yum" for the flies and "ouch" for the fishes, that kinda stuff. Record some yourself, or look up some royalty-free samples, I don't care :)

For the gameplay: The controls are decent, I really think Freddy should be a little faster though. Not much more to say about the gameplay than that, it is an incredibly simplistic game after all.

Ok that's it

PS: Amazing background tune!!

to slow response in the controlls

but for i five-10 year old it could be a nice way to kill time ( tho the parents will kill their kid after listening to that song for 4 hours a day :D )

For a kid, it'll work

You might wanna make it possible for Freddy the Frog to go left and right as well as just up and down. Also, if you get more experience at flash games, you might wanna consider a more detailed background just to make it look more appealing. But other than that, this game should be pretty fun for 5-10 year olds so good luck passing your assignment.

The most amazing flash in the history of man.

This game is perfect and needs to be frontpaged right now, I laughed, I cried, I even pondered the meaning of life for a while, never, in the history of games, Have I ever, EVER, gone through so many emotions.

I like it...

... though I'm not the target audience.

Of course it's hart to tell how 5-10 years old will experience this game. Introduction and menu are short but sufficing. A timebonus wouldn't be a proposal from me. In the end it's not a masterpiece but well worth the effort. Good luck with the assinment :-)
