How do you use the pink cream lol, I kept angering most of my customers. Cute game though, love how the lollipop is placed
Thank you!! Right now the pink cream doesn't work but I'm looking forward to adding that feature in the near future!
Thank you for playing! 😊💕
This is a super cute game! I love the art style and giving the fishes bandages and lollipops while also smearing the pink cream all over them (even though I read in the discussion post that it doesn't do anything yet) and being able to sign with my mouse was really nice feature too. This would be even better with the right sounds and music added in the future. Overall, really awesome game! :D
Thank you so much!! I love the idea of adding sound in the near future!
Thank you for playing!! 😊💕
Omega cute art :O I didnt understand very well the game, so I give them all lolipop :D. Good job !
Thank you so much! I bet they really appreciated the lollipops!
Thank you for playing! 😊💕
very sweet and cute!! i want plushies of all the characters
Thank you!! You're so sweet!! 💕
And thank you for playing! 💕💕
this game is SO CUTE :D I have learned that...it's a good thing I didn't pursue a career in the medical field LOL xD but I had a ton of fun playing! wonderful job!!
update that I got my brother to play, too, and he taught me how to be a good doctor haha xD now I feel like a real hero with all these adorable and happy patients :)
😂😂
He's an o-fish-al doctor 😉
Thank you both for playing !!! 💕💕💕
😂😂😂
You and me both my friend!! I wanted to be a doctor for so long and I realize now it was never for me 😂
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing!! 😊💕
Wonderful art! I’d like if the fish had things to diagnose or places to put stickers for progress
I love that idea! I would definitely like to add in more clinic / doctor-y functionality in the near future!
Thank you for playing! 😊💕
Love the fish designs, wish there were a few more. Cute concept!
Thank you so much! What kind of fish would you like to see added in the future? I would love to hopefully expand upon this and make more designs!
At the moment I currently have a hammerhead shark and a jellyfish in the process of being added! 🦈🪼
And thank you for playing!
maybe a seahorse, and manta ray?
Those both sound adorable!! I would love to add those in! 😊
I really enjoyed the art! i just think cute sounds and will fit very well in this game
I really enjoyed the art! i just think cute sounds and will fit very well in this game
Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun getting to draw all the little parts of the game.
I would love to hopefully add sounds sometime soon in the near future! It will hopefully be part of the next update ( in about a week )
Thank you so much for playing my friend! 😊💕
The artstyle and gameplay loop is very cute! I also love the look of the creatures when they get a lollipop. With some variety in patients, it's got a lot of potential!
Thank you so much! I would love to add in some more creatures in the future, at the moment I've sketched up a couple, and I have a finished hammerhead shark that will hopefully join the bunch sometime in the future. As well as plans for a Jellyfish sometime in the future.
Are there any sea creatures you would like to see added? 😊
Thank you so much for playing!
No problem! Sounds like you've got your hands full. If you've got spare time to add new fishes, maybe an Orca or the Sacabambaspis fish?
I had no clue that adorable smiley fish was a Sacabambaspis!! Both of those animals are too cute, and I would love to add them in! 😊
I love the art and the concept of this game! Super cute. I also really like the ability to write on the prescription :D It could definitely benefit from some audio, even just background music would be nice. I also couldn't figure out how to use the little potion on the fish which I think made them leave angry. But I really like this idea!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I can't wait to expand upon the game hopefully in the future, I really love your idea of adding in audio as well! That will definitely be a part of the first update ( hopefully in a week ! )
The medicine / potion doesn't have any functionality behind it at the moment, sadly I wasn't able to add it in time, but it will in the future! At the moment only bandaids work.
Thank you for playing!
The artstyle is amazing, and its a really funny and creative concept, goodjob!!
Also the crab is adorable and I would never let it walk out of the clinic untreated <3
Thank you so much!! You're so sweet.
I bet the crab is very thankful, you're very kind 🥺💕
Thank you so much for playing!!
This taught me that liberal application of bandages is all you need to do to get a bazillion stars as a doctor.
😂😂😂 Bandages make everything better.
Thank you so much for playing!!
I love their angry face when they don't get treatment lol
😂 Thank you!! It was so much fun adding it in, when I got it to work it made me so happy 😂
And thank you for playing!!
This is a silly concept that I think you executed really well. A nice smol clinic game, and definitely very fishy. The art is so cute and I love how everything comes together in this one!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it, thank you for playing!! 😊
Very cute and wholesome ! I love the visuals and the character designs. One mechanic I think would be cool to add is making money and buying medicines for different types of illnesses, so there's a management aspect to the game. Overall, great job !
I love that idea! Management games are some of my favorites, I own so many 😂
Thank you so much for playing and your kind words it really means a lot!
Didn´t knew i wanted to be a fish doctor... until now.
Nah but in all seriousness i enjoyed it quite a lot! you can have good laugh and relax while attending all the fish friends, if you plan to keep working on it and adding sound/music, just let me know i can help you with that!
Great Work!
I'm so glad that you liked it and it made you laugh!
Thank you so much for the advice! I'm looking into some sound effects to add later on hopefully that will make the experience even better!
Thank you for playing! 😊
You have a good foundation for gameplay here. In the future, I would consider adding more treatment and sicknesses for the fish.
Another thing, your loop needs some sort of "limiting factor," such as a timer for each patient. And possibly some sort of end goal as well.
Overall, good job!
Thank you!! I love the idea of adding more of those, I have a couple in mind.
Thank you so much for the advice! I really like both of those ideas!
Thank you my friend for playing! 😊
The visuals are definitely the highlight in this game, I loved how the fish looked! The only feedback I'd have is in a cozy type of game, art is important, but so is audio. There are some great free audio websites you can use to fill that gap and make this super satisfying! Great work overall!
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
I really appreciate the advice! Do you have any site recommendations? I would love to add some sound hopefully later on, and expand upon this game in the future 😊
Thank you for playing!
Honestly, I tend to just use https://freesound.org/ and then often I'll go through and add filters/effects to the audio in audacity cause it's also free and pretty easy (and I'm not an audio guy, hahaha). I look forward to seeing what else you add to your game!
Thank you so much for the site recommendation! I was able to find some really neat ones to hopefully use in the future! 😊
Thank you!!
Super cute visuals! The fishes looking so cute. even when i totally messed them up the first times :D
the autograph mechanic is so cool! i likes it!
Sadly there was no sound :( but other than that, i enjoed it very much!
good job.
Thank you so much!! I had a lot of fun with the autograph mechanic too! 😂 I just feel so fancy ✨️💃
I'm a little bummed about the sound too, I didn't think about it till last minute. 🥲
Thank you for playing!!!
