Description
This game takes you on the journey of a tiny fish desperately trying to adapt to rougher waters!
WARNING: Contains sharks with frickin lasers attached to their heads!

It was made for the 12th GMC jam, and the theme of the jam was "Evolution", and the handicap was "Trains or locomotives must appear in the game at some time, and must affect the gameplay in some form".

Controls
Move by moving the mouse
Special actions with space

Credits

The pictures remind me of Superman 64... That worries me

[TheSnidr]

That's too bad.

Okay, so, this game never became a really big hit here on TIGSource, but it got quite a few Let's Plays on youtube, which I think is really awesome!

That was my first thought as well.  

It is the rings and the low-poly that does it.

Bahaha this was sick. I can't believe you pulled this off in 72 hours. Fantastic progression - the whole thing stayed fresh and interesting..

This is actually rather brilliant, and the sort of game that really shouldn't exist outside of a game jam owing to its scope.

Well done.

Thank you so much for some actual comments! Alchiggins, it was my goal to not give the player a chance to get bored, but constantly give them something new and fresh. Of course though, there's a limit to how different I can make each part in a 72 hour game jam, so it's mostly different hazards and slightly different controls. It seems I made the helicopter phase a little too hard

I made a little video showing off the game, showing it from different angles, and I also made a compilation of clips from video reviews of it:

The evolving gameplay is terrific and humorous.  An amazing accomplishment in 72 hours.  And a bonus point for the novel approach of adding animation to an engine that doesn't support animation!
