Played for 10 minutes with high score 7 - it is hard indeed. Took me a few seconds to figure out I should use my left thumb to control the fish-hook. I use iPhone 4, which runs the game with no problem. 2 questions: Is there any in-game progress except the high-score challenge? What is the role of the shark? :) Good job!

Thanks Endriju,

No in-game progress yet in this version. We're trying to make it simple and challenging. Feedback will help us improve our next version. My highest was 35 but a member of our team got 75 before. So we know it is capable for someone to score 100. Hope you can help us share it too :)-

This is really fun! Not sure why the shark keeps attacking me or how to get that sucker to cut it out. Maybe a little explanation of the shark would help. Didn't get too far so I'm not sure what kind of levels or progression there is. Well done on the overall responsiveness of the game.

Game begins with 15 seconds. Each fish you catch will add 2 seconds to the timer. Out of time, shark will eat you. Maybe we should add a message box before the game start saying "Fish Fast Before You Get Eaten"?
