You are a hungry fish eating other fish. But watch out, the fishermen are trying to catch and eat you. They may seem stupid at first, using simple worms to catch you. After a while, they become smarter and start using fake fish as a bait. It’s up to you to find out the differences in behaviour so you won’t get caught. Every fish you eat counts.

SPOILER - FAKE FISH BEHAVIOUR EXPLANATIONS
BASIC FISH: Fake basic orange and blue fish are slightly slower than the real ones.

CARPS: Real carps visit all 4 sides of your screen in a random order and leave to the left side. Fake carps visit only 3 sides of your screen in a random order and leave to the right side.

PREDATORS AND YELLOW FISH: Predators always eat you. Real yellow fish always start with a backflip and switch between frontflips and backflips every time. Fake yellow fish flip randomly.
