That’s a funny idea. I really loved the old-fashioned music, and the art is cute. Unfortunately, I couldn’t win

Love the vibe of old cartoons, absurd situation, with great music and art!
A straightforward situation with an absurd premise, I love how quickly the game turns up the heat. There's some good room for strategy in pushing the fish closer to tanks, which I picked up midway through round 1. I'm not sure how the game decides which fish to grab, but I kept loosing fish when trying to rescue the oldest one in a pileup. Perhaps an indication on the fish would make that clearer?
Cute art, and a nice idea. I wish there was a possibility to carry more than one fish, maybe this would have made strategies possible. But anyways, a fun small game :)
Funny graphics and audio :D I feel sorry for the fish though, tell me they gave them to the cats waiting outside :D Good game :)
very enjoyable gameplay loop, creative implementation of the fish suffocating as a natural countdown lol :), also loved the handdrawn art style
Really cool art and snazzy music. Was a pleasant experience, and one of the more unique jam entries :D
A simple but fun game! Took me 2 tries to win, and on the second one not a single fish died! I like the shared vision in the choice of the art style and music, its very old timey cartoon vibes. Good job!
Art reminded me of Captain Underpants! Loved the humorous element of trying to save the fish. Was confused why fishies were dying so fast and didn't know how the money element worked though.
The game is quite challenging. It happened to me several times that as soon as I picked up a fish, it died immediately, even though it had just spawned. Also I really enjoyed art style and soundtrack, great job guys!
