That’s a funny idea. I really loved the old-fashioned music, and the art is cute. Unfortunately, I couldn’t win
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed the aesthetics! it's pretty tough, but is beatable with a few tries. it gets out of hand quickly if you fall behind though.
Love the vibe of old cartoons, absurd situation, with great music and art!
Thank you so much for playing!
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?
Thanks for playing, and I appreciate the feedback, I'll try adding logic to pick up the fish closest to death not just the one closest to the player.
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 :)
Thanks for playing! I'll take the feedback for sure, thanks!
Very hard, but cool game.
Thank you so much for playing!
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 :)
Thanks! I hope they enjoy the tasty treats, wouldn't it to go to waste!
nice art!! i felt so awful when one of my fish died 😭
Thanks so much for playing, I'm glad my art was moving haha!
very enjoyable gameplay loop, creative implementation of the fish suffocating as a natural countdown lol :), also loved the handdrawn art style
Thanks so much for playing and I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Really cool art and snazzy music. Was a pleasant experience, and one of the more unique jam entries :D
Thanks so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Nice game, would've loved to see some upgraded you could do with the money you got at the end of the day.
Yes, if I hadn't wasted a day and a half trying to get the tilemap working correctly I would have added more mechanics like that, if i update the game after the Jam I'll add some type of upgrades.
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!
Great job winning! Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed the game, can't wait to try your game!
Great game. lovely artstyle and very polished.
thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great art and music. Game also feels good to play. I didn't understand when the game would end, and at one point the fish started appearing faster than I could save them. Apart from that, nice game

Thanks for playing! The goal is to survive until 8pm when shop closes and you can go on vacation!
so many died on me T_T
It was still fun :)
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
cool！！！
谢谢你玩我的游戏 (thanks for playing - I think haha, I hope Google Translate was right)
I like that money is deducted from your paycheck instead of earning money from saving fishes, it adds another layer that fits the theme really well. Great game!
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.
Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed the art, your entry was awesome so I appreciate the kind words!
I really love the art style and music to this game! Its easy to understand, but man it increases in difficulty fast! I felt so bad killing so many fish. :( I think a cool additional control would be some sort of quick dash mechanic but on a cooldown. Nice work!
A moment of silence for those fishies :'(.... but thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed the aesthetics!
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!
Thanks for playing, yeah I think I tuned it a bit too hard right at the finish line and should have left it just a tad easier. I appreciate the feedback!
