Bowls and Jars Can be Unreliable Vehicles

The fish regularly have to navigate difficult terrain by moving in bowls and jars full of water. These can be moved simply by swimming against the edge causing them to roll forward. But both can be difficult to move with precision, especially the jars. It is very difficult to keep a jar moving in a straight line. While pushing a jar, it is likely to veer off to the left or right, potentially making it hard to stay on the right path. The best way to move jars with some reliability is to swim back and forth between both ends while pushing. This way, the fish can correct any unwanted veering and keep it moving somewhat straight.

Bowls are slightly easier to maneuver, but they can have their own challenges as well. While it is easier to keep a bowl moving straight, it can easily build up momentum. Once a bowl starts moving, especially down a slope, it can be hard to make it stop. In some cases, this can work to the fish's advantage, but it can also create problems.

Some sections require the fishbowl to be rolled along elevated paths without falling, or rolling into a very precise spot- at full speed, it can be very hard to stop the bowl from rolling off a cliff or into an obstacle. It is possible to slow down and stop the bowl's rolling by swimming in the opposite direction, but players should keep an eye on its momentum to know when to do this.
