While I still can't believe you made me play a clicker game... I must admit that I got at least a little bit hooked (pun intended).
While the clicker part is of course nothing especially groundbreaking it does work, it looks nice, is responsive and easy to understand. The whole twist of there being 2 sides of the scale that we can add our fish to is a fun way to interpret the theme and to add a feeling of a goal to a genre mostly associated with... well idling with no goal.
I had a small issue where I couldn't connect with web version but download version worked smoothly. Also there are some typos/writing errors in some upgrades' descriptions but that is a minor thing.
This might sound like little bit too much in context of a simple jam game, but I miss the days of full releases that had the core mechanic of your game in them. The tribal-asymetric, whatever you want to call it, rivalry.

InscalarGreat job on the game! It has a very clean UI and art style. One thing that was hard to understand was when I unlocked new options in the menu because I would have to scroll down. The multiplayer feature is really cool (and impressive!), but I wish the game leveraged it a bit more.

Cursor ClashI got the fishing pole to level 7600 and it seems at some point it didn't actually reduce my money when buying lol. It's a really fun game and kept me playing for a while (level 7600 lmao), the art is great and the descriptions for the fish upgrades are funny too. Good job!

Built to Snake [GMTK2024]I love clickers, i dont know how i stayed like 30 minutes clicking. I found a couple of bugs tho. You can click some upgrades without spending any money, specially the watery worm that sometimes they scale the number way to high for one level. I was in the trillions and suddenly i was in aas. If i clicked again, it came back to trillions. You can click infinetly and sometimes the spikes to higher numbers.
But good idea, loved the UI, the 5 stars are yours.

Scale You DownGod I love clicker games. I spent a lot of time on this one. Excellent design and visuals, and really liked the twist with the fish pool! One thing to note, the fishes per click get way too behind in magnitude to the fishes per second you can buy. It's just a matter of balancing things out, though. Excellent game!

Sunset SwingI am a clicker enjoyer and it was fun, the multiplayer mechanic is fantastic, maybe if you want to expand it in the future you should make it a little harder to get from one upgrade to the next one to make it more challenging and more satisfying when you finally get it. But in general super enjoyable, Well Done.

Playing With ScalesThe online multiplayer aspect of this game is very interesting, kind of a social experiment. I was sure the pool of fishes would be a positive value, but it wasn't. lol

Giraffin' UpAs a clicker enjoyer myself, I loved this game. Really great work! Loved the idea of adding multiplayer

A Tiny Big DreamerAdding a multiplayer system to an idle game is genius! I'd love to see that expanded further, with the different "factions" getting asymetric idle abilities to align with their goals. The art was also lovely, and the whole game came together in a delightful little package. Very fun, Fish/10
