Having the tutorial as in-world objects that you can sell when you're done with? I think that's genius. It gives it an extra purpose on top of being a tutorial, and also doesn't force you to view the tutorial if you don't want to. I'm not sure I've ever seen a game let you sell the tutorial before and I love it.
Also, is there a low pass filter on the audio when you go inside the tank? I love little details like that, really made the game feel even more polished. All around fantastic job!
A really stellar entry, amazing work!
I don't know so much about the theme. Yes the fish die if you don't feed them but its a bit of a stretch :D
Art and audio are absolutely stunning for a Jam game good job.
Is it normal ?
Here is a screenshot to show you the issue:

@edalbung My apologies, I was reuploading the game to fix a bug. Should be back up now!
I'm always fascinated by the fishes, and to manage them in the aquarium was fun !
Also I liked a lot the depth of customization, we can build a pretty aquarium with happy fished in it :D
Overall it is a pretty well crafted game, so very nice work !
I love the colors you choose, the ambiance music, it is top notch! I like the fact you can go inside the aquarium and the music changes, swim with your feeshies and enjoy what you have created. Really great !
For feedback I would say that sometimes feeches bump all over when you add a new one, but you can say they are excited :D and some feeshes poops coins outside the aquarium but hppens rarely :)
Well done to you!

Still a great game, everything felt so polished, even the menu and credits were cute! the texts we're funny and the sticky notes also added a great touch :) nice!
What I would like to have had is a sea slug that collects the coins for me. Also I'm sure you can find ways to introduce challenges to the game if you decide to develop it further - food dispenser etc. are already there, I see them being a necessity in the future instead of decoration. Also you could go the Zoo Tycoon route where each fish has different requirements for its surroundings (which plants it likes etc.) - I think there's a ton of potential!
If you want to know the timestamp of when your game was played you can see it in this spreadsheet:

And then look in my latest videos and find your game being play (after the current stream ends)

I wish there were more “game” elements to it though.
I just doesn't see where the game fits the theme, but it's ok, the game is really great!
I hope you continue expanding this, maybe a mobile version.
The color pallet and friendly models set a pleasant mood.

Was relaxing and fun placing stuff.
Only problem I had was when placing stuff I could smack the fish around and out of the tank, but lucky they came back hehe.

I really like the approach you took on art style to create more content. Very smart! :wink:
My only notice is that the navigation could become a bit more intuitive (not having to press SPACE or CTRL) and that the UI, imo, should be at the edge of the creen and a bit smaller bcs when I clicked on something (even by mistake while trying to catch coins) it popped out and hided my view. Nonetheless, I loved your game! Great job! Keep it up :smile:
Everything is extremely polished and pretty, and I found no bugs at all!
Only thing is that I would like some sort of saving system on this, so I could resume playing at some point (Although I won't judge for not adding one. This is a jam game, after all :slight_smile:)
The X button on the top right is kinda weird.. I clicked it out of curiosity at some point and ended up losing my progress :stuck_out_tongue: I believe some sort of "confirmation" would be essential on this. (that, or the saving system :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)
That said, this could easily turn into a fully fledged game I would find myself playing for an extensive amount of time. Thanks for making something beautiful and fun for us jammers to play :smiley:
