A cute little game. :) I am glad it is not too long. You could definitely add some complexities to the loop and make it even more addictive! Like, having multiple ponds, feeding fish etc.
Well done!

It's simple, but fun. I wasn't too sure about just watching fish swim in loops at first, but I was wrong. I ended up getting all the fish and upgrading them quite a lot. Also, I love the fish, they're so cute.

Lucky Loop ShooterSuch a cute game, I came here to say I love the art, and I also love the music!!! Such great throwbacks. Great job.

Lasso the KnotI really enjoyed the game and was stuck playing it for 30 minutes. Great job!

Eternal GraveThe music caught me off guard lol. The fish in the pond are cute, could've used some more details around and in the pond. They also move very fast on my device, is that intentional?
All in all a cute mini idler :-)

Sprout CycleThe size and detail of the pond hides the fact that it is just an infinity symbol track really well. There's some inherently enjoyable aboutidle games and seeing your fish zoom around faster and faster scratches that itch.
The music is a nice touch especially since there are multiple tracks.
Solid work, only bug I cough is that scrolling up and down can take you past all the options in the buy menu.

∞fficeNice simple idle game, I liked the designs of the fish and I find it funny how fast they get to swim.
Maybe you can add some visual feedback whenever a fish finishes the its loop! ^^

WhiskerlightIf somebody every told me I would be having so much fun clicking on the pond to the medieval cover of Dragostea Din Tei and upgrading fish swimming in the loop to the level 100 and beyond - I wouldn’t believe them. Lol, this game made such a big smile on my face! :D

Through The LoopCool game! Nice music and art. It's funny to see the fish go so fast! I upgraded my "Lorenzo" fish to level 300!

Wake Up! (GMTK Game Jam 2025)Looking at fishes racing in a pond while listening to the Middle ages music is such a vibe "lol and "Snorkel" are wierdly balanced but that didn't impact my fun overall.
Upgraded them all to lvl 100 and just enjoyed the fish racing, good vibes and fun quick game!

No More PancakesThe balancing feels strange, upgrading the first fish seem more effective than the 2nd or 3rd. But then towards the high end fish I got it, the steps those fish get from upgrading are bigger.
Neat little game, loved the music !
Would have loved to have the pond expanding and having more fish with the more upgrades.
A quick and neat idle fishing game. It feels a little unbalanced, as some fishes have similar points, but some have way more. Fun visuals.
