A downloadable A free fishy game for Windows and Linux

Made for the MAGS January 2021 game jam on the theme "Under The Sea", Shoaly You Can't Be Serious is a fast and fun 1 or 2 player arcade game in which you gather as many fish to yourself as possible - but be careful!  Sharks, nets and electric eels will hinder your progress to become the boss fish!

Features planned for the full version:

- 4 difficulty levels (affects how many enemies appear)

- Score multiplier based on difficulty level

- Fish density (how quickly and how many fish appear)

- Endless mode (just keep swimming!)

- Virtual aquarium (want to just watch the fish go by without playing?  You can!  Cheaper than both keeping a real aquarium or deep sea diving)

- Will make the sea gradients look a bit more fancy

Toying with the idea of another creature or two to help or hinder you, or simply as background scenery.

Okay guys what's your highest score?  I just reached 680458 which is the highest I've ever got in 1-player mode.

Haven't had a chance to play in 2-players mode yet, but I've enjoyed playing the game alone. Simple, arcade fun!

Highest score so far: 714884.

Very impressive!
