I loved it. Great polish for a jam game, great concept, and good execution.
Excellent!
This game is just brilliant. The ending couldn't be better!
Hah this was awesome game loved it!!!
This was a very funny game with some very pointed commentary. I had a lot of fun exploiting my fishies and never paying them while making sure the sharkholders were satisfied! I do think that having money was too easy, as funding was never an issue, but that might be the point.
Bravo, le jeu est excellent en tout point ! 👏
its feel like Game dev tycoon but shareholder oriented and since I had really good time hiring and firing people I feel dirty now ... Joke aside the game is really fun to play ( looking for money but also for the quality of the game ) feedbacks are fun ( the little quack when you fire someone make this action evilly satisfying ), just a point is that its a bit hard, I satisfied the shareholder enough to make money but I focused on making good game, I was like 120 on each category but still get 44 at the end and didnt understand why. overall the game is fun to play Nice job ( even more for a first one with a new engine ) !
Excellent game, my only triple 5 so far. It's great, I don't see any flaws except that I can't play more of it!
Congratulations for this amazing game!
J'ai fait tous ce que les actionnaires me demandaient et un jeu médiocre en est sorti... Mais je suis riche ! je me demande si c'est un commentaire subtil sur l'industrie...
Il faut que je teste si c'est possible de faire un bon jeu en ignorant partiellement les requêtes des sharktionnaires. 10/10 roleplay un connard c'est toujours un plaisir.
Five stars! Nothing bad to say about this game. It’s cute, fun, has adorable music and art, makes you feel a little guilty, and is bursting with fishy charm. Nice entry!
clever little game!! made me laugh and feel bad at the same time, really enjoyed the art and sounds, and the copy work was great :))
Really great stuff! Loved the attention to details, did not expect the fishies to want to get paid to stay, which makes me question my own work ethics. I could see this getting fleshed out with a tech system which changes your needs for the various worker types, and maybe an incremental clicker direction with ever-growing numbers to manage (and dehumanize) and ever-growing profits. But really I think the game mechanics as they are are perfect for the size of the game. Bravo!
Super funny game with great artstyle! I loved the writing and decided to ignore all AI related requests because f AI lol - but kudos for including these topics in the game in a witty manner :)
What a BEAUTIFUL game and art style! I loved the fishes would grab pizza and go to the restroom!

Pretty fun management game based on true stories.
I LOVED IT!! I got 61/100 on my second try :3 But the "Fire the artist, AI can do their job" moment was heartbreakinggg :<
I’ve outsourced review writing to AI to save money.
So well done, I guess.
(Seriously, though, great job. This is really silly and cute and it’s very fun to play!)
"Hey Bob, hows family? Listen man, we've decided to downsize... starting with your job so we can upgrade the office coffee machine."
Great game! Managed to get 62/100 without replacing anyone with AI :D Felt really complete and well put together, and I really enjoyed the style. Nice work!
