Theme Interpretation
It's necessary to feed the fish radioactive food to induce mutations that alter their characteristics. Achieving the main goal requires the presence of a mutation in one of the fish (or almost fish).

Such a great entry , that was super fun to play , i played too much for this one, nice mutations though GJ :DD
Super fun and a great take on the theme I played this one for almost an hour! I just love spamming goldfish
This was really fun! I thought that I would need to breed a lot of turtles to get the tolerance up, but I tested feeding uranium to my first turtle since it had the accurate eater (I think?) mutation, and it worked! Though, I think there's a bug because the *spoiler-thing* was supposed to be red, not orange. 😂 Nice job!
Chaotic, but in the best way! It was fun and satisfying to try and get the best mutations for the fish. Also really cool that you can sort of lead fish using the food. I did run into some performance issues, especially after obtaining a large amount of fish. But regardless of that I had fun working towards the goal of the game. Although I will never forgive that cat for snatching up my big money maker fish haha.
very fun game but can someone tell me how keep turtle alive when you gave it uranium
Thanks for feedback bro! To avoid dying from uranium, the turtle must acquire the "Accurate eater" mutation
it's a very fun and relaxing game. you just breed fish and feed them uranium, it's really fun. The art is also nice. The music and sounds are good, they don't distract from the gameplay like they sometimes do. Good job
Thanks for your feedback, but… There’s no music in the game :D
Unfortunately, I never managed to find the right music for the game, I ran out of time :(
I love this game. Chill yet stressed at the same time. Very Cool! Easily one of my favorite in this Jam!
Great work! I would bump the fun score to 10/10 if i could just for the cat!
I wouldn't have thought that a feed the fish game would work for the mutation theme, but you did a really great job! The general tank management (i.e. balancing the poisoning and feeding, with breeding and buying new fish) is surprisingly in depth for just a 9 days, nice one!
Good use of theme, I like the management gameplay loop of it. This game has a lot of UI work put into it and it all functions well. Good job.
The Game is great i loved how the ui looks and the sfx wast great
i played too much time because it's fun to play
i have only to say if you added music it was gonna be better
You made a cool mini game. the mutation theme was well implemented. Feeding animal is always fun, i like the little munch sound your fish made.
I remember playing a fish tank game as a child, but the game back then didn't have any gameplay like yours.
A relaxing and clever take on a fish tank gameplay loop with the mutation theme. I like that the end goal had you breed the perfect mutant turtle candidate, and that ending mini-cutscene made me chuckle. Well done!
Very original take on the theme. Well done!
Really nice and relaxing game to play, I really like the gameloop and it was fun seeing what type of mutations my fish would get. I tried getting the turtle to eat the uranium but... it died haha. Really cool entry!
The fish are cool, cute, well-drawn, and fun to play with. There are mutations, everything is great.
Very cool concept. It works great and it easy to understand and play along. Love how you added the mutation by feeding uranium and have each fish change. The unique mutations for each fish is also very clever. Well done!
Quite a fun and addictive fish "caring" game ! Makes me think of the old Aquarium games, pushed it till the end !
I liked the added kitty paw
I could not stop playing this! For a surprisingly simple game, it does have its addictive factor - a sign of a good game with a solid game loop. Stupid kitty kept swiping my fish and the uranium kept killing my turtles, damn it!
I looooove fishtank games like these, it takes me back to an old one on Windows where you could have it as a screensaver, also reminds me of Tiny Aquarium which I've put too many hours into lol! The cat jumpscared me but I loved it, definitely could be a clicker/idler if you wanted to continue working on it! Great work all around!
woahhh, this was a VERY satisfying game to play! Until my turtle died, what the heck! you said I could feed it uranium? monster!!!
