This game is all about visual representation of reality versus the perception of how previously stated reality works. Size in the fish hitboxes are purposefully exaggerated, which is why holding down the mouse button allows you to temporarily view their hitboxes. But remember; everything in this game will purposefully try to toy with you. It's hard. It's unfair. It's confusing. Yet, it's a simple concept... gone wrong. Trust me when I say that the mechanics are not in your favor.
Inspired by this flash game I found http://www.twoplayergames.org/play/1129-Fish_Eat_Fish.html because I found the hitboxes there infuriating and decided to replicate it in a hyperbolized fashion (i don't know why I was so persistent to beat it, lol). space bar to start. Mouse click to see hitboxes.
