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

Developer

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!

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?

Developer

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 :)

Developer

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!
