Notes (optional)
You can talk to characters multiple times, and just FYI there's no victory screen so once the race ends your seahorse either wins or loses.

The sound effects were gotten off of freesound.org and the music was previously made by me (but not for this jam)

That a fun little adventure game. Loved talking to everyone and collecting all accessories. Characters have clear personalities with design and dialogue. Amazing job!
Cute game, so good. Really enjoyed this.
Sharon the shark, that's genius!, and those sad eyes of the female fish, really convinced me to help her, oh and I bet everything on pearl and got last place, lol
The character designs are very cute and the music is beautiful. I enjoyed completing the little quests and getting the rewards. Such a fun game!
Enjoyed the concept and talking to all the characters. The snail and turtle are some of my favorites. Fun and rewarding game overall!
Cute little game ! love the art and chill gameplay. Good job !
The music is hypnotic
Thanks! I'm proud of my music. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for playing!
*really i LOVE the creativity in this game and the rewards and achievements its give you more fun and reason to play the game to take all of them .
*also the pixel art its very simple and clear.
*the sides quests is pretty cool.
*the dialogs make it like a story game and a funny adventure .
*in my opinion i didn't see lot of bad points in this game else that the pixel art can bee more detailed and also animated .
Yeah, I wanted to animate all of the characters, but I didn't really have the time to do it so I just went with a simple style. Thanks for playing it! I'm glad you liked it.
Really cute game, I got all the others to cheer with me for Pearl and we won! I really liked that you could wear all those rewards from the tasks you got, that felt really... well... rewarding and you got a sense of progress. I first didn't realize that I just had to swim to the edge of the screen to get to the next one, thus I was stuck a little while on the first screen.
Ah, maybe I could add like a sign or something at the edge of the screen to indicate that you can move a screen over. Thanks for the input and I'm glad you liked it! Funnily enough, reading these comments I think Pearl is a common one to root for.
Fun adventure style game with a cool art style. Easy to play and understand.
a lot of the dialogue is very creative
very interesting adventure type game. Reminded me of Monkey Island type game! Gameplay isn't very deep, but the dialogue is fun to read through
I really enjoyed playing this game. You've got a talent for writing stories and dialogue, I enjoyed talking to each of the fishes. And being able to put on funny ornaments was great, well done!
this is a silly little game. I enjoyed backtracking which I don't usually enjoy but you made it work somehow. gooda game
I love the dialogues and how you made this into a RPG! Such a shame it ends on the race, but very well done for doing this in only 7days! Movement was nice and smooth, well written dialogues and LOOOOTS of fishes! Thanks for the experience! :)
Really cute art and excellent writing! The characters are all really charming and the world feels alive and real. Very well done little fish RPG!!
I loved this game!
The swimming was smooth and enjoyable, and the bubbles were a nice way of letting the player know they could interact with the fish. I liked the dialogue and getting to know all the fish. I was fully engaged whilst on the quests they sent me on. I also loved showing off all my new accessories!
Go Team Pearl!
This is a really cute and fun game! I love the art, sounds and music! I really enjoyed talking to all the characters and having so many accessories on the fish in the end! It was fun swimming around and seeing all the little snails too :D
I really really enjoyed swimming around and getting to know the characters! I managed to help everyone out and quite liked the ending! :D I also like how by the end my fish was covered in accessories hahaha. Great game and a pleasure to play! :)
This was really cute. I like the idea of using the bubbles underwater as the markers to indicate where to talk to each character, that was smart. Thanks for posting!
Thanks! I was originally not going to have any markers, but then I figured it would probably make it much easier and less frustrating. I'm glad you liked it!
