    In this simple and rather non-threatening game, a fish (who appears to be the one from The Little Mermaid) is on a crash heath binge. There is fruit everywhere and he is desperately hungry for it. Unfortunately, mean fish – who I cam only assume represent multi-national and million dollar fast food retailers – are out to stop him.

    Even though the game is laughably simple, its basic graphics and easily achievable goal seems to be pitched directly at the younger audience. It is with that target in mind – kids – that this game has the most resonance. However, for the older gamer, the challenge is not in avoiding the mean but some how finishing the game. There are so many levels in this game its easy to lose count. I played until I collected so many extra lives, they spilled over the side of the screen. And still I played on.

    It strikes a fine line between the individual and the long term goal and does that well. It’s easy to continue and as the child develops better hand-eye coordination, the ability to move farther into the game will increase. And increase it shall with the incredible amount of levels on offer, its next to impossible not to keep getting further and further. What happens in the end? Why is the fish eating fruit? Why are there clouds under water? These questions I cannot answer – all I know is playing this game is very simple and yet still compelling and fun.
