What are the chances of 2 games with the same name in a micro jam, haha. Congrats on the entry. Art is phenomenal.

Love the art style, took me 2:41. would've loved it if the urchins started popping up faster the cleaner the tank was, or if i could knock them off while they were in my peripheral. Either way art was amazing and loved the concept!

awesome artstyle, it was a bit glitchy for me but really liked it

The idea of cleaning the fish tank was neat. Great concept. 

However the web build had a lot of glitches and I could see the images glitching through the glass before finishing cleaning. Too bad because they were very detailed and i liked the style.

Controls were not very intuitive, though we figured it out and the cursor changes helped

Very satisfying to clean away the grime and see what emerges. I really liked the game’s aesthetic.

“Only Took You 4:40!”

This was a fun game! The images in the tanks are really neat and reminded me of SpongeBob’s visual style. The gameplay was engaging, although it wasn’t immediately obvious what I had to do at first, but I figured it out in the end.

I think adding spatial audio to indicate which side the pests spawn on would be really helpful. I also encountered a bug where sometimes the glass starts off already broken.

I didn’t experience any performance issues with the web build.

Great work!

You should really build this for Windows, the web build has a lot of performance issues. But that aside, this is a really neat game! Congratulations to all of you!

My best time is 03:21!

How to win (SPOILERS):

  • Clean the tanks with your mouse. Once the clean icon disappears, the tank is clean (sorta!), so clean the others. Clean 3 tanks to win.
  • If any tank breaks, you lose, so you can't stay on a single tank. Even a clean tank can break.
  • Keep the urchins at check by punching them 3 times; there is a sound indicating when one pops up.
  • Left tank: more fragile than the other two.
  • Right tank: the slug will periodically clog one of the two pipes. Check if there is a slug on the bottom right of the tank. If there is not, use one of the two valves on the top right to remove it. Also watch for the sound!
  • Middle tank: shark will periodically pass and break one of the rivet. Just click the missing rivet to fix it. Again, watch for the sound.
