A downloadable game for Windows

Yet another take on Flappy Bird. Play as a fish while fishermen try to catch and spear you. Eat worms while avoiding bait and spears. 

Gather energy by eating. Use energy to struggle away from hooks when caught. It takes 3 energy to escape a hook, use wisely. Don't try to swim in the same spot, spears come straight at you.

Spears move faster after a certain distance is achieved. Use proper timing to avoid them. Boost forward using right arrow key; Consumes 1 energy.

Controls:

SPACEBAR to:
Swim & Struggle when caught.

RIGHT ARROW to boost forward just a little.

Watch your mood and keep a chill attitude!

< 3 energy: Mood = Hungry!
Get hooked: Mood = Caught!
Get Speared: Mood = Speared!
Steady Swimmin: Mood = Chill

Worms Eaten & Distance determine your rank at the end.
