Guppy

The player uses the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to move their tail, replicating how fish propel themselves in the water in real life. Can also be played in 2-player co-op (ENTER to join, controls A and D for player 2).
You can follow the development in this thread on the TIGS forums.

Lindsay Benkel of the Freaking Awesome Network wrote a really nice review of Guppy:
Lindsay wrote:The visual style of Guppy will grab you immediately. Reminiscent of Japanese block prints, the thin outlines filled by globs of wispy watercolor layered over a stark, white background convey a sense of ease that will draw you in for at least five minutes of swimming relaxation.

In a world that often seems dominated by games that require at least a 100 hour investment, I was pleased to find that something so quick and simple could still be executed in such an elegant and truly enjoyable way. Christiaan Moleman has done a wonderful job of creating an experience that calms the brain and genuinely makes you feel a little better (that’s the power of charming little fish). Guppy can be enjoyed by both young and old and can be picked up, or put down quickly making it essential for any PC desktop. You better believe that next time I get frustrated with computer work; my breaks will consist of swimming around to discover new parts of the pond till its calming effect helps me get back on track.
The game may not be technically released yet, but it's great to get a response like this. :)

Very nice game, keep making things like this will ya.
This looks interesting. Will download later.
Hahaha, cute little game, I like it.
But I think that the view distance should be bigger - and the camera in the multiplayer mode needs some work.
But with some polishing (markers which direct you to the next fly, score board, different colours for the players and so on) this game could be a perfect filler if you have 5 spare minutes :D
Thanks for the comment. :)
What would you change to the multiplayer camera to improve it?
maybe something the way little big planet does it: camera zooms out to a point, and if a player moves beyond the camera, they die after a certain amt of time
I ended up putting co-op split-screen in the latest version (24), but I do have the off-screen dying in "Follow"-mode where the camera sticks to the big fish (you can find it in the Menu Cave).
It zooms out to slowly - sometimes you can swim out of the visible field when both players are far away from each other.
