If it penalizes you for trying to eat a larger fish if a smaller one is still around, then it should allow the smaller fish to be hiding behind the larger one.

Johnathan, he said specifically that this was his first attempt, ever, and wanted constructive criticism. And, to paraphrase your comment, just because you can make an ignorant comment doesn't mean you should.
Deke, here are a few suggestions:
Get some decent art, to improve initial reaction to the game.
Give a 3 second countdown before the game actually starts, to give a new player the chance to get ready.
Add the ability to jump.
Make the collision detection a bit tighter (occasionally I would barely miss a platform, only to be saved and 'twitched back onto the platform I was aiming at)
Consider adding stages instead of making it one long excursion (i.e., different sections of the cave.
Add powerups. Gamers love powerups. Whether it's to slow down the descent rate or to make the platforms wider, it adds an intriguing element to the game and can make it stand apart from other similar games.
I hope that helps. Good luck. 2/5 for now because it's very basic.
J/K. The game needs some work, but it's not unplayable. When the main character takes damage, he should not be paralyzed. It allows the enemy to get multiple attacks off, and kills you quickly. Thrown weapons, if limited in ammo, must do more damage.
Dude... this isn't even a game. I understand it's your first attempt, but if a chef burns his first meal, he doesn't serve it to the patrons, he goes back to the kitchen and tries again.
Go back to your kitchen. 1/5
@Draco18s: Yeah, the instructions need work. Like, when it says 'Click an empty space and the next card will be dealt there', I mean, how are we supposed to know what that means? ---

Read the instructions completely before you complain that something is missing.
Okay, so, after I duck under the arrows, avoid the spikes, dodge the falling boulder, swing over the pit of molten lava, tap on the stone to reveal the hidden axe to defeat the skeleton, hold my breath as I run through a cloud of poison gas, jump over the pair of saw-blades, select from the pile of brownies the one without laxatives and play "Greensleeves" on the giant piano, what do I do next?
4/5
