Game Play

Feeding Frenzy isn't a complex game. The player controls various fish through 40 levels of play, able to control up, down and side to side. As they swim through the level, various other fish appear. Smaller fish can be eaten, larger fish will eat you and as you gulp down as many smaller fish as you can, the player's fish will grow in size as well, allowing them to eat larger fish. Through the course of the level, certain hazards present themselves that aren't fish. Things like mines, jelly fish and radiated fish should be avoided. Skill in collecting small fish in a short period of time is rewarded with points and a feeding frenzy, where numerous small fish are introduced to eat. Each fish consumed will add to the player's score as well as to their size. Available is a normal mode and a time attack mode.

Presentation

Feeding Frenzy has a simple aesthetic, cartoon-y graphics that serve the game well. The soundtrack and effects as well are nothing to write home about, but for a free java based web game, people shouldn't expect too much. There are five different fish that a player can play, but they're tied to specific levels. Players will gradually get to play as each different fish as they progress through the game. each game has a unique ability which addds a little to the game. Andy the angelfish can put on a burst of speed, Leon the lion fish can use an ability called suck, Eddie is an angler fish, J.D. is a john dory fish and the last playable fish is Orville the Orca. Each fish does look and play differently for a little variety and the game introduces new hazards and other game assets at fairly regular intervals, keeping things fresh.
