This is nice, i love the idea, but its not very clear how many oxygen you have, how many your fishes consume, etc...
I did't felt any consequance of my actions, i just placed fishes and nothing change. The atmoshpere slowly get better but it does't feel like there is a balance to keep between oxygen, food, etc...

So, to conclude on a positive note: good concept ! Continue working on it and it will become better !

Very chill, enjoyable sim. Lovely animations and movement on screen that all work perfectly together. It was a joy watching the numbers go up and all my fish frens exploring the tank meeting their new neighbors. Audio design worked flawlessly with the vibes and I found myself playing this for quite awhile, nice work!

Beautiful peaceful game. Loved the art and the unique fishes and the animations, was super fun to play! A minor nitpick would be to make the wording more clear, like I didn't know what the difference between "lots of oxygen" and "plenty of oxygen" for example meant. Awesome game!

I had such a  relaxing time playing this! It was fun trying to get all type of sea animals, and I love that they were called booster packs, so cute! The art was also very good, the background, animals, and the store! I like that you could visually see the tank get cleaner and that you could see how all the animals were interacting. I wish I knew more about when I could place plants, but other than that I had an amazing time and I hope you make a full version someday!

Lovely game! Its super fun, chill, and relaxing! Its also pretty great how it sort of self regulates if you over saturate in fish, and trying to get all the fishes was pretty fun! I think the plant placement could get some reworking maybe, sometimes I expected to be able to place plants but couldn't, and once a lot have been placed it becomes very weird to try and place new ones. Awesome Job!

beautiful and cozy, very nice game!

Only little criticism is that the card is covering the placement of most plants, so it's harder to know if it can be placed or not..

That was a wonderful experience! Great idea for a management game. Very low pressure. It was right at about the moment I was thinking, "I have too many of these little fish" that I got my first Finn. The problem solves itself! The way the fish pathed around the game was really cool, and relaxing to watch. Except for when Finn would chase a lil guy, that was exciting!

I would like for a way to get rid of plants/corals at the later stages though, because it started to seem a little hodgepodge and I wanted to rearrange things. I also wish the cooler fish had a higher drop rate in the card packs, it was much harder to get one of each fish than it was to get 100% oxygen/quality/beauty.

The fact that jellyfish are just called "Bob" is simply wonderful.

We didn't have much time to proper balance the game, sorry and your right.

For the removal of plants and coral , that was a planned feature.


Thank you for the review !

Oh man, don't sweat it, I was just stretching to think of something that could be improved a bit. This was a great game!

A really cute and relaxing game. I had some problems with placing the plants, but overall a very well made game. Great job guys!

Quite relaxing and great visuals! I liked that the game gradually becomes clearer and cleaner as the quality goes up. Had quite a strong progression feeling. I also really liked how the fish swam around, it felt quite natural.
Some feedback:

  • Some fish randomly died / has a  flashing red tint. Not sure why as the oxygen (118%), Qualtiy (100%) and there was plenty of food available.
  • Didn't realise there was music until halfway playing, feel like it was too soft?
  • Also unless I'm unlucky but I got the same fish for the whalex and finn boosters. maybe a bug / not enough time?

The mechanic is SOO CREATIVE. And the random card pack is also very addictive but not so intense because of the soothing art work and music. NGL its one of the best game ever! Rated 5/5. Feel free to check my game too!

Very cute I adore the art style! The card packs are very fun and balancing the tank is very enjoyable

Lovely and relaxing game. Better than some demos of similar games I have played before!

Really chill! Placing plants seemed a little buggy, and at a certain relatively early point decisions lose any interest mechanically, but I still built up until I maxed all the meters and had at least one of every fish and enjoyed myself the whole time :)

So relaxing. Really love the approach to the theme! Some cards were harder to select, but that is barelly a complaint. Good job!
