very pleasant atmosphere!! a bit too fast for a meditation, but helps to distract for a couple of minutes. clean job!!

Submitted

It's a relaxing game, good job! 

Submitted

I felt really relaxed while I was playing this. Loved the music and the art. Hearing the 'pop' when you gain a fishy friend was also really satisfying.

Submitted

Really original!

Submitted

I love it, it's super chill. How many fish can you get before it gets real janky?

Submitted

These types of games are so addictive! I loved your music, it sucked me in and I was building a koi fish army for a while! At some point, I think I died and wasn't sure why. 

Submitted

Chill sound and smooth graphics. Would have loved to have a scoreboard at the end of the 3-minute loop, to see how many koi ihad in my school.

The polish is really good, the sound and visuals fit nicely, however the gameplay is a bit too simple. I played for a few minutes and as far as I can tell there's no way for the player to lose fish or lose the game. Good job with the polish though!

Submitted

I found it really fun to play. While the algorithm for the fish movement caused a lot of collisions within the pack and may be not desirable, I found that to be the fun part as I just basically created a fish net made of fish.

Submitted

I think more goals, as other commenters have mentioned, would go a long way here. Honestly tho, what game where you amass a bunch of a thing isn't fun? Killer work!

Submitted

It was a nice game, but it could really benefit from a goal or more challenge, such as collecting food or avoiding predators. The art and music was really nice, though!

Submitted

pretty relaxing game, but you should look into Boids simulations.  I felt like the intense collisions of all the koi fish was distracting

Submitted

Dug the atmospherics of this. I'd say the fish could've benefited from some flocking to prevent them from colliding with each other, but cool concept! Check out our platformer if you have a chance.

I really like more creative games with bolder moves and this one is very relaxing. I really like the visual and the music, they are simple, but they do the trick.

Physic colliders are a bit crude (it kills the pace a little, at the end of 2 minutes for example) maybe using smaller colliders even if sprites are a bit overlaping will make fishs more fluid.

I would love to see other types of fish and maybe an adaptative audio based on how many and what type of fish is following you, would be great!

Submitted

If the fish runs a bit slower it can create a more relaxing atmospheric ;)

peacefull :3

Developer

indeed

Submitted

A really comfortable game to play from my bed one handed on my laptop. I think it's interesting how the fish seemingly need to do a certain number of hits before grouping with a new fish. so larger groups are faster. 

Makes me look forward to a 'next step' though - like now that I'm gathering all these fish, how does things change for me?

Developer

thank you for the feedback, glad you like the game!

Submitted

Really cute game with a nice atmosphere, but the fish got stuck a bit to much for my taste.
Also a score screen would be nice, but overall really good

Brilliant! The music and Sound effects were satisfying, Clever gameplay idea. Despite a slight glitch with the fish and my mouse cursor. Everything worked great! Maybe in the future, I would recommend a game over screen :D

Developer

thank you so much for the feedback!
