How does your game apply the limitation and theme?
Aquarium maintenance is rather mundane and the glass on the aquarium becomes more and more infested by algae, a natural response to the breakdown and decay of waste produced by fish

This is cute! I used to have neon tetras as a kid, so seeing them swim around like that brought back some memories. Very soothing, and the presentation is gorgeous. I did experience the scrubber bug, and I'd like to see some more stuff be added (like feeding, refreshing the water or whatever) but it's a novel and pleasant submission.

I LOVE this idea Im going to leave this in the background while I work on school. id love to see this as like some sort of thing you could have in the background and have it work in real time. brush didnt work but im sure you know that. great game I love it

What a great idea! This is a widget I would love to have on a phone/tablet!  The tank was beautiful, but the scrub doesn't work. (Pick up once, and then it is not interactable again after that + hard to tell that it is a scrub/what it is) Would love to see it more polished!

The transparent aquarium is beautiful!!

It was a relaxing experience. Loved the concept!

Congrats

I like this because fish are awesome. Great variety of fish and I like how it's transparent to your own desktop, I didn't expect that lol

hey, I haven't tried this game yet, but a small tip for exporting with godot: when you export, uncheck the box in the bottom left corner of the save dialog, it stops the console popping up

What happened when the wiper got stuck? So I can fix it in a post jam patch or something

I was clicking a button while carrying the wiper, that might've done some things
