Theme Interpretation
The theme is expressed through turtle mutations. By choosing different foods and environments, players can influence how young turtles grow and what special traits they develop. Rare mutations make turtles more valuable, so mutation becomes the core of both the breeding system and the economy.

Chill idle game I liked it, think could have done with some more sounds and music. Liked the cute turtles yippee!!

Maybe I missed it but i struggled to understand or see fire shrimp and moon algae doing anything. I ended up wasting my money on them and my turtles all died. I also dont really see the mutations in the turtles. Maybe better explanations of whats going on and why could go a long way! The game is really charming tho and I love owning a little turtle habitat and seeing the different turtles. Despite my gripes this is an awesome game.

My fault, I am so sorry for no tips about this, two same special food are needed for a baby turtle to get mutation when they grow up, I should let the shopkeeper suggest it

I can't say enough how much I love picking up the turtles and dropping them and then they hide in their shell it's so neat. I nice little cozy game I only wish I didn't run out of money so quickly hahaha

This game is super cute! I got soft locked at first when my turtles died, maybe it would be nice to have some basic source of income or some other way to stop the player from spending all their money on turtles haha. But overall really nice concept, loved the music and the vibes!

Thanks for playing and for your feedback! We think that a turtle capture system could help solve this problem. Our game idea was inspired by Horsey Game, which we found very interesting. However, due to time and scope limitations, we weren’t able to implement more features in this jam version.
