I liked the mechanics a lot and having a story on top of the cool graphics is very nice. The only thing might be the high dificulty, but even so the challenge can also make it fun and gives a reason to play more than once. It really is a very good and complete game!

Reincarnated as a fishThis is a really awesome and polished game! The mechanics were very interesting and the art was really nice especially the character animations! I wish there was a way to skip the dialogue of each boss as I had to click through it a lot when replaying levels. I had a lot of fun playing even though I found the difficulty really hard :D

This Quiz is FishyReally impressive work! I was surprised to find a game that felt like it had such lore and worldbuilding like this one!
It's not really my kind of game, personally. The amount of explanation in the tutorial made my eyes glaze over a bit, but if I had more time to sit with it I think I'd appreciate it more.
Also, the game doesn't scale properly when I fullscreen (it cuts off the side because my screen isn't widescreen) so I had to play in the window and the text was kind of small. Just a small issue that should be able to be fixed pretty easily.

Off to the RacesVery impressive game, congratulations. It was a very nice experience and the game is beautiful and well polished.
At first I did not understand that I had to click on the enemy to hit him, so I went a few rounds without doing anything :D
Amazing that you were able to do this in only 7 days.

Fisklike (FishFest Game Jam 202404)Quite a good game! I typically don't enjoy turn-based combat, but this one was quite enjoyable. Great job!

A Day in the Life of a FishWow, this truly blew me away! The level of polish in the UX, animations, and game feel are all exceptional for such a short jam. The attack queue battle system is also something I have not seen done before in this manner. My one minor quibble is that some of the text can be hard to read, and some of the symbols aren't differentiated enough from each other to tell what they are at a glance. But overall, this is easily the most ambitious game I have seen in the jam. Great work!

Go with the FlowThat's an impressive team you got there!
Loved the into. Even had an option to skip. The tutorial text was a little hard to read. I'd suggest keeping the same font size as the intro. Ton of small details and polish that we usually don't see in a jam.

Who took My Soggy CakeThis definitely doesn't feel like a game jam game, this is a whole entire regular game! I really liked the action queue system, it felt very inventive and made every turn feel like a puzzle instead of just clicking attack over and over. Definitely very hard - my run ended a few fights after the second boss - but that made it interesting. I also liked the characters involved! My only issue was that the action queue of the enemies didn't always progress like I expected, though I'm not sure if that's a bug or I just didn't understand the way it worked. Amazing job all around.
How did you four manage to develop this game in a week lol. It's very polished! The gameplay is unique and enjoyable though a bit punishing at times (I died to the last boss after three tries) and the art style and soundtrack are very fitting. This feels like a demo for a full game and you can definitely turn it into one and put it on Steam.
I'd really love to see a way to revive party members! I lost the guy that gives you mana pretty early on and felt like I missed quite a big part of the mechanics.
