I felt very relaxed playing this game, and enjoyed just chilling and watching all the fish swim around. Nice Game!
I think this was a super chill experience, but I could not figure out how to get equilibrium. I might give it another try later. I also didn't know at first that it was drag and drop, but I could've missed something. The music and art was great though.
Really cool game! I feel I had to put an absurd amount of plants to keep the fish alive, and spent most of my time just dragging plants into the aquarium. The surprise at the end was pretty funny, and I thought the game was quite relaxing. One thing is that my pikes kept eating each other, despite there being other fish to eat, making it take a really long time before they bred once. I quite liked the music you chose for the game and art you drew!
Thanks for playing! Yeah, its not really realistic with the plant per fish distribution. Also what you mentioned is a probably a bug, since they should only start eating each other after they have bred. The pikes eating each other is prioritized if there are three or more pikes, because they will otherwise take over the pond. So would patch it if the jam was not ongoing :)
a nice chilled out experience! I enjoyed my time with it and watching the way the fish interacted with each other! very impressive detail in their behaviour and stats given the time limit! Will be coming back to this!
Though I would've liked if something ate the snails for more agency as nothing seemed to happen to my snails after i put them in or maybe I just got lucky idk.
Nice Job! : )
Very fun! I was entranced for longer than I care to admit by all my fish!
I love the idea and the little fishes moving around, feels like a real ecosystem that I am growing on my computer. I really love hoe they interact with each other and the environment. Very relaxing
amazing game!!! i loved planting unfathomable amounts of sea grass with my fish. really fun.
I loved this! I've never seen a game like this before, the idea is really original and interesting. I also liked the equilibrium surprise at the end! Really fun and impressive for such a short gamejam :O
