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!
Nice one ! This was fun and I'm not sure to be proud to release the game in the first try, maybe too much experience in video game studio....
Awesome job, fun yet terrifying, great level of polish, great humor and art <3
Really like the music and sound effects! Also really funny interactions with the stakeholders. Well done
Hahahahah what a fun concept! At the end it got a bit too realistic. Amazing job!!
Really cool game and concept, it's fun and it really made me laugh
What a cool game! It works really well with the theme, it’s cute and has a message. Congrats!
The developper paid me to say this game is really good.
This game is really good!
Oh man this was so fun to play! All of the reasons to hire and fire and me laughing out loud.
It took me a while to figure out that I could pay the people to make them happy instead of firing them. That seems to map pretty well to reality.
