Fun, Fast-Paced Arcade-Style Atari Game

Look: 8/10 Gotta love the Atari colors, and the bear graphic lol. Otherwise... just functional. Heh the graphic when you are eaten by a bear Oh, but great graphics when fall in love with other fish ha. Due to the colors, this gets a little boost.

Sound: 8/10 I'm glad I gave sound a proper try, because I love the "water-y" sound effect. I do wish there was a cutesy or striking song that plays at some point, but I like that it isn't annoying beeps and boops, and I always love a good gurgling fart-esque water sound effect sound lol.

Play: 8/10 Pretty sloppy with the controls but surprisingly fun. It made me feel pretty good at it, plus there are options to alter gameplay a bit. As usual, the manual here is critical even just to figure out how to start the game lol, that seems to be the case with most Atari 8-bit games.

Feel: 8/10 Super cute to reach the other fish and kiss lol. Surprisingly fun, probly more so cuz it's easy than anything to really give it credit for lol. This is the kind of game you can just pick up and play when …

Attachment: 8/10 Easily can be a go-to game when in mood for the scrolling fast-paced arcade gameplay. Not strikingly amazing, but I have to give it credit for entertaining me longer than it probly should have ha.
