Game doesn’t run on itch desktop app but runs in Chrome.

Notes while playing: Good-looking sprites.

I may have seen this shader before, looks more like a lava lamp than water but better than nothing.

Bit annoying when the fish are stuck to the left you can not play them, if you press space it stops the tune. have to wait for it to loop.

So gameplay loop is very simple, maybe too simple? Feels very sandboxy. Wish there was one more mechanic, like moving some sort of cursor up and down to match the fish or like 1-2-3-4-5 hotkeys to hit depending on the top-bottom position.

Haven’t paid too much attention to the notes played, are they purely random out of a set?

Good entry overall, short good-looking fun.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback! A couple of comments:

  • Didn't know there is an itch desktop app. I will look into that issue!
  • I agree this shader is not the best one for water (just basic Perlin noise), unfortunately I didn't have time to implement a better one.
  • The goal was to design a chill game with very simple mechanics that would make you feel like watching a fish pond. I agree it would have been interesting to experiment with other (maybe more complex) mechanics but sadly there was no time for that. Thanks for the suggestions tho!
  • The notes are not random, they change (deterministically) according to the "level" of each tadpole :)
