Description (Game published on 2007-11-20)
*This is not a sequel, it is just a tweaked version.* If you haven't played the original Big Fish, I recommend you "try that first":http://www.kongregate.com/games/Lysis/big-fish?referrer=Lysis . If you have played and enjoyed that, then don't bother with this version, it might just spoil it for you. This is a version of Big Fish with the acceleration ramped way up. It is here particularly for punking, XavierMace, Draco18s, M3nTo5 and heartagramguy, amongst others, who thought the controls wern't tight enough. Personally I think it kills the balance and gameplay variety I'd tried so hard to put into the levels, but now you guys get the game you wanted. Enjoy. Or decide you were wrong and the original was like that for a reason - either way I win. The1Wizkid, you have a special place in my heart.Instructions
Guide your red fish around using the arrow keys. Press the key in the direction you want to go, you'll accelerate in that direction, unless you're out of the water. Eat smaller fish, avoid bigger fish. You will still eat your babies if you touch them, so don't do that. I am indebted to my sponsor, Crazy Monkey Games, for permitting this version.

- Controls are much better than in the tweaked version, but the enemies in this version are far too smart. These are fish, not heat-seeking missiles. 2/5.

- M3nTo5, what you suggest wouldn't work - at least without making it a rather different game. The fish face their direction of travel - see how they turn when out of the water. Not only would they look like flyds if that didn't happen, but you'd end up facing the wrong way. Furthermore, it may work if there are only a few things to pay attention to, or the interaction is slow or imbalanced (you have a heath bar which takes a while for enemies to grind down, or they have very deterministic behaviour). But with it as it is, you'd just end up with many more unavoidable or random deaths.
I'm not sure why you object to axis-aligned controls anyway, they've been a staple of game control since the beginning. Do you also hate pacman's controls? What about pretty much every platformer ever? What about moving your mouse around? I'm not saying rotate and forwards isn't a good system, just that its not for every case.

- Nah, I didn't mean the acceleration, it's just to hard to control the fish when you always have to switch between up and down. Better make it like arrow up->go forward, arrow left->go down etc. ;)
