Feesh Reviews

While the idea is functional, the execution leaves more than a bit to be desired, and I'd consider it to be flawed on a fundamental leveldue to the following... [b][u]Demerits:[/u][/b] - Narrow FOV, and no danger indicator means something as simple as moving is based on getting lucky, and not running into something that spawned off-screen. - Nothing is in-place to make sure you can escape any danger: the last life I tried to play saw me losing both lives immediately after one another, due to being boxed in by a larger-than-me Minus Feesh, and a hoard of sharks - On that topic: sharks spawn way too often, and no limit is seemingly present on how many can be on-map at once. Given they - The Slippery controls also help nothing, with the entire game feeling like you're on-ice - Confusing scale means sometimes you'll die to something imperceptably larger, and sometimes, you're the larger feesh. - All of this means I only got to the 5th evolution once, and that was the round I lost the lives in a row. - Very annoying having to restart from the beginning on Arcade Mode, as the first evolution is very slow. [b][u]Suggested repairs/updates:[/u][/b] - Make the feesh sizes colour-coded, such that you can clearly tell what you can, and cannot eat. An easy way to do this would be tinting everything dangerous red, and everything below you in-size grey. This can also be done with auras, to preserve the original colours. - Limit shark spawns to no more than 3 at-once... - ...as well as, or in place of including a danger indicator to show when an off-screen hazard is near. - Alternatively to the second two: zoom the camera out, so more of the “ocean” is present at once, and the player can feasibly react to dangers. - Respawn the player in the centre of the screen following a death, such that life-loss parades because they're boxed in cannot occur. If not this, then have a repelling explosion that pushes things away and allows for needle-threading with player escapes. - Allow one to select a starting evolution, to take away the tedium .slowness of beginning things. - Remove the sliding on stopping, and/or tighten the turn radius. - ...or otherwise include the ability to dash on every feesh. [b][u]Verdict[/u]:[/b] 5: Dourly Dismissed, because it's almost unplayable in its current state.
