Each fish only has one life, if they die they are gone forever. - each fish has different genes so losing them means losing access to their genes too
Cookies eaten

Love the fish designs! I might have developed a bit too much of a liking to the idea of selling fish to the restaurant though...especially once I realised how profitable selling fish that you caught with the boat is, to the point where I stopped racing and breeding to become a fisherman instead.
It was pretty cool; I just couldn't get anywhere near enough to get the boat. I also got lost for a sec. But Cool!! Just prob work on making your games simpler. Anyway, do you want to try my, very short game?
Very impressive that you made it in just 3 days! A lot of content, music, sounds, diffrent locations and the money system. I was kinda lost for first few minutes, maybe some tutorial (not only instructions in menu) would be useful to comprehand all of the content. Good work!
I appreciate it, i had a person i met online swoop in to save me for all the music and sound effects, then had one of my friend step in on the last day to help me with some of the art as well so it saved me from what was going to be a missed target lol. I had bigger plans for the game including a underwater section where you could catch other types of sea creatures, but never had time to finish them so had to scrap a large part of what i set out to do, but overall it was still very fun to make!
my poor shayla-fish,
at first time didn't understand how to interact but got it
Congratulations on the work! I noticed a small bug in the game's start menu; when you press play, it only gives you continue and restart options, even though I haven't played at all. But it's not a huge problem.
I really couldn't access the farm and the shop; I don't know if I just didn't understand how it works or if the browser version has some kind of problem.
The sound effects are very good, and the graphics, although very simple, are a great match! Truly, congratulations!
This is a really chill game and I like it. It's really impressive what you've been able to do in just 2 days. I really liked the fish racing aspect, it was kinda frustrating when my fish is doing nothing😭 but its a fih after all. I can def see this being a very nice chill game to play with more polish. The music is also really nice and fits the vibe of the game.
If i get to work on this game any more in the future there will be some balancing to the fish a little more, but overall each fish has a "mental strength" attribute that is a multiplier. The more jumps they do, the higher chance that they give up from getting too tired, but only on "bad jumps". Just a little hidden mechanic to make certain games less certain, since i didn't want you catching one good fish and sweeping from then on lol. Would probably go about this a different way in the future, but for now hopefully it wasn't too frustrating. Thanks for playing!
