good job ♥ ..
I like the graphics, but the gameplay is kinda meh. Not only you can complete it in just a few minutes, but also the game is pretty much based only on luck. There's not much to it either, you just click random food until you get 10 fishes. The only great thing I see in this game is the story and I feel that you're also trying to send a message. Overall not bad.
ty for the honest feedback ! :D i'm glad u enjoyed the graphics!
I kept killing all my fishes! Liked the art style and the calm music.
Very Cute Game. Also nice take on the theme, very calm music and at least if the boxy isn't crying it is in general a nice calm game.
Well this was cute, but choosing true one did not feel rewarding (even if you choose wrong one it gives +1 and choosing wrong also gives +1... and maybe few effects would be good) and i would like to see some animations but they can be sometimes time-consuming, so i understand you :)
Btw i came here from my rate for rate so you should return favor :)

Sweet little concept. The baby laughing and crying with the piano music put in me in a weird place but i think I liked that haha. I wish there was a little more strategy involved rather than just guessing but it still works. Fits the theme well with by getting even more new fishies each time you kill them.
Cute game, wasn't completely sure on what I was supposed to be doing exactly but I enjoyed my time with it.
Good job
It's a dice-rolling game, you' re just supposed to roll the dice, ehm...press the buttons!! XD
Cool game, the graphics I felt really fit with the gameplay/theme of you being a kid.
I liked the "story" of the game where your mom would help you if you fail, since you're a little kid.
I feel like the point of this game is the gameplay, but I still couldn't really make sense of it? Is it just random whether your fish die or not? And is it supposed to be like your mom is buying more fish when they die, or does she resurrect them? I feel like some animations for that would help clarify that. Also, the particle effects for the fish could be improved, since they appear out of nowhere and disappear without the fish even near them sometimes.
But overall good entry for a first jam, and congrats on completing! I liked the voice lines as well
(btw I found this from the rate for rate thread, and I would not mind throwing in my hat to see a review in your youtube video)
It's completely random if the fishes die or not, but there is a higher probability for success. I wanted the player to experience on average more success than failure. You can think about it this way: In the game you are a little kid, and little kids use imagination. In the same way it's left to the player's imagination if the mother is a fairy with magical powers that can resurrect or if she's just buying new ones. Or we can think that there wasn't enough time to go into that level of detail with animations! XD I will check your game ;) And of course, from all those who rated my video, my favourite 10 will be chosen to appear in the video, so you are also among the candidates!
ahh, gotcha, I figured it was that since it said it was a dice rolling simulator, bht I wasn't sure. And yeah it's hard to add animations for everything in game jams, i feel that 100%
Ya I typically hate asking for people to play my game but I feel like it would be really valuable to actually be able to hear someone's feedback in a video so I swallowed my pride and did it
Pretty nice game! The graphics were kinda cool and it was cool concept. Nice job! :D
I think I may now be traumatised... :P If I'm being 100% honest, I didn't like the music much, but I loooved the weird whispery voice lines xD "shhhhhhhh mummy's here" is going to haunt me for weeks to come
Great art and music! Also I am jealous of your games itch page hah nice background and custom font! Gameplay is simple and fun enough for a short game like this. I am not sure the gameplay would hold up for a longer game without some additional strategy or loss conditions. Maybe some way for the player to learn over time how to choose the correct food instead of just guessing? Anyways overall good submission and creative use of the theme!
Ty, u are the first who compliments my itch page and the font choice XD
the art in this game is pretty, the gameplay it's so relaxed and reminds me to say thanks to mother for all the things she did for me, like the mom on this game, nice job!
There's that lil charam with these graphics haha. Yes i got all 10 fishes. I will be honest I don't really get which one was I mean to press each time and I just found a way to always choose the one on the left from the last colored box of food you got before. I dont know if that was intended but thats how I beat the game. I think that the cutscenes should be a little quicker after the first time they appear since they waste a lot of valuable time. You could even solve that issue really easily just increasing the Time.timeScale on the cutscenes since it doesn't speedup the songs. I think it was a really interesting idea.
it's completely random which one is the right one each round. It's a..dice-rolling game XD. Ty for the review, i make sure i check your game!
haha then let me tell you that i got ultra lucky cause i landed it about 6 times in a row
Really relaxing game! I wish the crying bit was shorter but it felt so satisfying to get a few nice guesses in a row. Great game for a first jam!
This game is so chill. The artstyle really fits, it´s like out of a childrens book.
Nice aesthetic. Short and sweet. Murdered 27 fish. 10/10
Super charming game! I like it! :)
Little charming and relaxing game! I also have to tank my mom this journey :)
If you like mysterious, creepy theme and twin stick shooter with interesting mechanics, check out my game. Thx!
ty! for sure, checking your game out right now!
One of the most pleasant games in the jam
ty for ty kind words!
It's a really cute game.
The fish food particles didn't really go with the rest of the game. And there needs to be more difference between winning and losing, like maybe winning doubles the number of fish/adds 2 fish whilst losing still adds 1.
Great work! I especially liked the sound effects
