About this game
Sometimes things are as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. Sometimes you are the fish.
In this bullet-hell, you are a fish. Dodge swords, bullets, and mines as you ascend from the bottom of the barrel. While trying to survive, collect fish food to upgrade your stats and become faster. Strive to last as long as you can and reach greater heights until you finally reach the top. It won't be easy.
