I love everything about this game!
Thanks so much!
Cute little idea! The game is very pretty and chill, and I enjoyed the little story and fun facts :D Congratulation for making this!
Aww thanks!!
beautiful art, i need a sticker pack of all the fish like rn
i loved the backstory and the small details on each fish. it was very relaxing, my biologist sister had a blast :)
there was a small bug when you put stuff behind the menus, where it clicked on the decor rather then add stuff. would have looooved to have a zoom out to admire the beautiful art and the aquariums we made <3
Aw thanks for playing! And noted about the bug
Very relaxing, Good job. You could take this concept and do it in 3D with the addition of boid algorithms.
Honestly really cute and love the cinematic frames in between! Reminds me of a mobile game called Tap Tap Fish Abyssrium which has great vibes!
Fantastic work here and I hope more people check this out!
Cute little game with pretty impressive aesthetics. I watched my girlfriend play it and we didn't really notice any meaningful impact in what she chose to add to the aquarium. I wonder if the water quality system is even necessary or if this could just be a chill cozy game with zero pressure (though from my experience with aquariums when I was younger, water quality management is a pretty huge part of having an aquarium, so maybe you shouldn't remove it :D).
We didn't have time to implement the water quality system - maybe we will if we continue working on this - but thank you for your comment!
Well done, love the idea and art style :)
I would just say, maybe scale down a bit the plants and things we can add because some times they were just too big so it felt a bit strange. Otherwise, it's a really good concept. Some aquarium games performs well on Steam even :) Good luck with the game.
Thanks! I agree some of the plants were a bit too big, we'll address this in a future build!
fish are food :)
An incredibly cute game! The graphics are amazing! I think this format is perfect for meditation :)
Aw thanks!
Decorations were very hard to place without moving others. Cute design, I can see kids really enjoying this. Nice work!
Noted and thanks for playing!
I really enjoyed the story! Cute little game :3 ...though there was one bug where sometimes when I put down decor, other decor I already placed would think I was clicking on them to move them? But other than that, is a good lil game :3
Thank you!
Visually it is phenomenal and the story is really good. Very cute game, Good Job.
Aww thank you!
Wow that is adorable. I love how you managed to fit a story in there. The art is also amazing! Great job. Now I feel bad for having fish for dinner.
really cute game! finally living my dream... having a pet shark in my fish tank xd!
Aha, thanks!!
This game is soooo lovely! I love the art and the story -- the way hobbies define us and mold us can be so fun huh? really fun and comfy :)
Aw thank you!!
This game is actually so cute and comfy, I love it so much!
Thank you!!
The art work is awesome! And love nice and calm atmosphere. Very cool.
Aw thank you!!
I love the concept, art style, and the personality the flavor text for each of the animal/decoration options have! People tend to think of fish as an easy pet to keep and end up mistreating them, so I appreciate that you included in your game that you need to consider their environment and the size of their tank.
Aww thanks Ray!!
absolutely dig the art and the little fun story of the game! gotta love a cozy aquarium sim where i can have WHALE SHARKS IN MY TANK that is easily the best feature
Thank you!
What a beautiful art style! This is such a feel good game & fits the theme very well!!
Aww thanks!
