How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
You can only flop, you are a fish! There are cards for selecting upgrades and all that jazz :)

Really great representation of the theme! It's super simple with upgrades that encourage emergent gameplay and trying different combinations. I especially loved making a super long fish.
There were a few things that felt frustrating to me. First, it kinda sucked that without any Lung upgrades you lose about half your lungs before even leaving the fish tank. Anytime there was an obstacle felt really frustrating since it was random whether they were there or not. It got to the point where I would basically just stop playing if I hit an obstacle that I couldn't overcome quickly since next time I'd likely not have to deal with the obstacle. I would've preferred them to always be there or always not be there. Lastly, of course I would've loved a win screen.
I also wished there was some music! The art was really charming, especially with the different backgrounds. The way the fish grew and changed based on your choices was super cool. This is a really cool game. Fantastic work :)
Oh great feedback! I agree on all points and am still kicking myself over the win screen lol.
I’m really glad you thought it was cool, thanks for the kind words :) If I get the chance to go back in and do a few updates I’ll keep your feedback in mind!
New update dropped with all of your feedback accounted for :)
Great art style, great concept.
Sometimes my fish would get stuck in the tank for like half the time. but otherwise no complaints. very unique and cooll game!
No more getting stuck in the tank! Fixed :) Thank you for the feedback. Also we added hats!!
Very Funny Game lol, love the artstyle!
This is a very funny game, I like it a lot! Art is very nice as well :D
Yo! Dude this is one of the best games here! It's so fun and repayable very creative and fits the gam perfectly!
cute!!!!!!!
I love the art style, and fit the jam well. The game was also fun,but my hand hurts :(. Also no music so audio gets 1 star(everything else is 4/5 stars tho).
Funky little game. I still don't know what exactly makes the fish go zoom sometimes :D
I’ll be honest, neither do I lol. I had to re-make the fish from scratch 1 hour before the jam ended because it exploded and was unsalvageable. I’d much prefer if it did less wiggling and more spinning, but who am I to tell a fish how to flop?
Game looks great, plays great and has alot of replayability. Great work! (I also got my workout in by playing it, flop in peace, poor arm)
My first time creating a safety hazard for a jam! Better put a disclaimer next time, flop at your own risk!
Great game! I bout nearly tore a muscle spamming the space bar. Super addictive!
Oh my gosh flop with caution!! I'm glad you enjoyed it though! lmao
Wow! The art is incredible and this is super addicting! My one critique would be that it felt weird that the like "breath timer" bar thing started going even when I was still in the tank and in water.. idk. Overall though, amazing job, I had a lot of fun playing.
Absolutely lol, that was sadly one of the things we left until the end and didn't have time to include during the final grind haha. Maybe this is a special fish that can only breathe seawater!
Now it’s fixed! If your head is in the water, you breathe just fine! Also check out the hats!
Awesome Game! Very polished and fun. the artwork is amazing!
is this the end of the game? This game was so fun and addicting you guys did an amazing job and this is the best game I've play thus far.
Yes! Something broke right before we submitted the game so the win screen never showed up!
Here’s what you would have seen once you reached the ocean :)
tysm I hope you win this jam its so addicting
A really polished game with a ton of fun and silly details. The One Ability is implemented really well and makes for a fun, chaotic but still barebones simple game. Great stuff!
Very fun! I played until the end haha, got quite addicted! I really loved looking at all the background details as well :). The cats made me happy!
YAY! Those are actually my cats irl!! They are the best company when grinding out games so I had to pay homage
Very cool bro, graphics, gameplay, very cool
