I really love the idea! Even though I'm terrible at music, I had a lot of fun with those little fish. Really enjoyable!

I'm definitely keeping this game after the jam. It's such a peaceful and relaxing experience. The background music is so calming and the water and fish are so nice.
Great graphics. Relaxing game
Really nice relaxing game! For some reason my shell button stopped working after a while but I got more than half the scales before then and it was really fun! Very nice aesthetic, really fits!
Super beautiful and love the take on the theme. managed to do all of them and it was fun and relaxing
Someone more musically talented will probably enjoy this more. Still, it's a unique approach to the theme and I like it. The art's cute and the gameplay's relaxing and non-involved.
Very interesting take on the theme. Unfortunately I'm not smart enough to fully enjoy this, but I can tell it's a really good game. No criticism from me!
Fun and cute little music programming game! 🎵 Love that it was made with Tic-80. The graphics are really nice. I do wish the order of appearance of the fish already informed in what order they were going to sing, as usually I would feed them so that they would sing in that order anyway. I also wish it was easier to tell the different types of fish apart when they're in the pond.
If you keep working on this and want to lean into the puzzle aspect I would suggest an action counter (or maybe even a limited action count?) so that there would be a challenge in completing all the objectives with as few player actions as possible, re-using the same fishes etc.
As it is it's already a nice creative toy that's fun to explore! :)
Looks so fun and cozy. Unfortunately, I'm not a musician myself, so I didn't manage to figure out all the rules.
Love how there's fish scales AND musical scales. Great game!
well done getting all the scales!
idk what's going on but i'm vibing with it. Lovely visual style and I like the concept, tho I didn't understand how to actually work with it
The artstyle is specially super good for it running on the limitations of TIC-80, good entry
Really cozy game. I love the way it looks and the sound is just amazing ^^
nice interpretation of the theme. The background music of the game is very cool, and visuals are awesome. Tho I wished there was more creative things I could do with the singing fish. Wow, they come to the ripples!
my brain turned to mush with the gameplay but fish and pixels are pretty.
I played, I read the description and still not get how to actualy play the game and what to do..
But the Kois are very cute - I want to swim with them
wow ! its really hard, a bit harsh to understand but its really cool ! i love art
I really like how this makes musical scales part of the main gameplay, nice game
I think that the art style looks cool and fun, but the gameplay kind of hurt my brain a bit
Amazing artwork and idea. We loved how creative it is!
