This was very relaxing but I couldn't figure out what the goal was! I like the idea of switching scenes to go get the fish! Definitely a concept to expand on!

I don't know what I'm doing, but I like it.

is interesting, i dont undestand very well what to do next, i like the sound and graphics, good job!

I really like the concept of this! I just wish I knew what I was doing when playing. I went into it thinking, "Oh, I got this!" and then moments later having no clue where to go from there haha. I wish there was more direction as to how to progress to the next step or what exactly I was looking to breed. The symbols in the fish information really confused me. But other than that, I really like it. The music and the art was really nice! And the controls worked great too! Great work.

Good idea and very well presented!!

Took me a bit to understand what this game is about. But then I got hooked. I really like the game mechanic. But sometimes it feels like you just click and breed until you get what you need. Maybe some limitation, that you can only breed a few times per fish or so would make it more a challenge. Then you'd have to think which fish to strategically breed instead of just brute forcing it.

But so far this is my favorite game of the jam

thanks a lot, we didn’t expect anyone to understand it at all 😅 good idea with the breeding limit, we didn’t think of that. we thought about using every fish just once for breeding, but that would’ve made it unplayable. glad you liked it!

Yes. Once would be unplayable as it would depend too much on luck. And to be honest it took me several minute sto understand it. Even past that point where I already gave up and opened the next game. But then I just wanted to figure it out :D

And the idea with the breeding limit actually is from the game TemTem (not sure if you know it) where I spend a lot of time breeding the strongest combination. And I remembered that after clicking the breed -> trash combination  so much in a row and my brain just expected it to say that I can't breed that fish anymore :D
