How it feels

A fast-paced roguelike where you eat fish to grow stronger while facing increasingly dangerous sea creatures and a vengeful sperm whale boss.

What players say

Players enjoy this as a quick, cheap arcade roguelike that plays like single-player Agar.io, but the lack of a pause binding and save feature frustrates some. The soundtrack is widely called forgettable, though the general gameplay loop is liked.
