Big Fish
Created by: 
Lysis
Description (Game published on 2007-11-01)
The rockpool was small, but it had many fish – and only one could be the Big Fish.
You are the red fish. Eat the smaller fish, avoid larger ones.
Pay attention to the level-start screen – levels require you to do different things. Otherwise you’ll be caught out by level 3.
Stuck? (on level 3, right?) It may be easier than you think. Check out the walkthrough by RunaWorld
Instructions
Use the arrow keys to move. The angle of your fish is incidental, you can accelerate in any direction, and will eat or be eaten by any fish which touches your body. Movement has some restrictions - you can't change direction while out of the water, and larger fish are more buoyant. These rules apply to other fish as well, so this can work to your advantage.

- The controls are good, get past level 1 and you'll figure it out.

- *How the controls work:*
Pressing (and holding) a button accelerates you in that direction *relative to the screen not the fish itself*. The rate of change of speed is deliberately low - this is for gameplay purposes. The other fish accelerate just as slowly, so you're not hard done by. If you don't like this go play "Big Fish, chipped":http://www.kongregate.com/games/Lysis/big-fish-chipped instead.
Eating your babies (if you touch them) is deliberate, *not a bug* as otherwise these levels would be very easy.

- Controls are fine, it's that he's adding more bouyancy without adding in the weight that goes with it. But the whole point is strategy, and adding weight would ruin all the challenge of the game 4/5. (could have been longer and had slightly better menu graphics)

- some people are saying the controls are bad, but there is nothing wrong with them.... perhaps the accelaration of the fish is slower than in real life, but that is nothing to do with the controls, and I think it's set pretty well anyway. I hate when people complain about the way a game *should* be... as if all games need high accelaration, where you can be anywhere in an instant, and the consequences of building up speed become much less more significant. This game is fairly hard and challenging, as games should be, and I don't think the control of the fish can really be argued with, because it just makes the game more challenging... and finding it hard is a good thing! I don't get why this game has such a low rating, because I think it's really good =/
