Very lovely graphics! I kept running past that droplet like 5 times haha, ended up ignoring the ship damage after a while and just focusing on collecting. Very fun lil game!

Very sweet little game! it was very nice to see another game that felt like it had a theme of "patience is rewarding."  Man those birch trees were stubborn! But me n my lil buddies got this!! Overall a very nice experience with an awesome level of polish for a jam! I adored the little detail when you got in the water, how your beaver would have water ripples around them to cute!! 

I was very excited to see another aquarium game! so I had to try it.  Base of a really cool game here! Lots of room to expand on the concept, I kind of wish you could upgrade the snail as well as the fish as an aquarium nerd there's a bunch of cool snails to add! I adore how supportive this family is of the MCs snail hoarding. From an art nerds perspective, there is a lot of blank, unused space... I really wish the tanks were bigger!  Nitpicking though, you did an awesome job!

Shadow you beat me to it and beat my numbers XD I love how supportive this family is of the MCs snail addiction

I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT

Very cute!! reminds me of an old arcade game I tried as a kid that plus the retro aesthetics made it feel very nostalgic. The randomly generated levels were a neat touch! best I could get on easy mode was second place haha definitely a challenge.

Adorable art style and something I hope you expand on in future! I'm excited to see how you incorporate multiplayer! rooting for you!

Very cute little game! In the ending the final description switched languages for two lines I'm not sure if that was intentional or not . I love the art style and interactive environment!

Quite tough  but got easier when I figured out you need to hold WASD and right click at the same time to shoot! the background idle animations are cute lil wiggly seaweeds, and I think I saw a shark! lovely touches.

URGENT: We have until Thursday. For those of you not checking the discord, here is an update as I didn't see any note of it here.  I AM NOT A MOD just a concerned participant who wants everyone to do as well as possible!! 

Recently there has been an announcement in the discord saying all the games that got through the qualification rounds. I counted 169 games that made it through (likely a few off as I counted quickly) but that's about  76.75% of all games submitted according to my math.

Mine was not on that initial list, I got re-added in a follow up announcement after DMing sander and opening a help ticket. The disqualification reasons for mine and those I talked to was they want to see credits in the following format [Position, Name, Link to Itch.io profile] for ALL members  (even the person submitting the game) in the games DESCRIPTION (having them as itch authors don't count)  AND in the form. I fixed this and was added in the follow up announcement. If you did not fill the form it is likely you will not be eligible as that was an early requirement.

The help tickets are down right now so please be patient they are working hard.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES: 

• DO NOT: attack mods, use foul language or snap about this, they are doing there best and  likely want you to succeed and get your game re-qualified. Being harsh, argumentative or hostile about it will not make them want to help you! This is for fun, and yes we all spent a lot of time but THEY SPEANT MORE.
• This is disqualification for the MONETARY Prizes, you can still  REQUEST a game rating weather you qualify or not. (this is a good thing and avoids publicly shaming games that didn't rate well) If that is all you are after, do not stress it! try not to open a ticket as staff is overwhelmed unless you specifically want to qualify for monetary prizes!
• I AM NOT A MOD just a concerned participant who wants everyone to do as well as possible!!
• please don't shoot the messenger I just want everyone to do well! I have no say in the matter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TLDR:
Check your form, check your game. IF YOU WANT TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR MONEY: Sweat the fine details and join the discord if anything is amiss to re-apply. BE NICE TO MODS!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heck yeah! Red root floaters, Red Tiger Lotus, and Caloglossa Beccarii are on my list of "want to add plants" I think it would be awesome to have a red grow jar! I think the red will contrast the green plants super nicely. Thank you for your feedback!!

Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback! Yeah for sure agree with the pacing! using real plants has a natural challenge making gameified pacing but we already got some solutions in the work🔧Also I could of sworn I responded but maybe I forgot to hit send or it slipped into the void?? Forgot Haha sorry for the delayed response!!

thank you to everyone who made it to my stream!! super glad I could rate your games for you!!

SO FUN I adore the little characters and the art style!  Barely beat it by a hair! The tower defense was fun and challenging in a good way and I love the lil side plot with Rini, Overall a very wholesome experience I had a lot of fun with it!

I love the art style it is so charming!  the water physics were awesome though level (four?) drained super slowww! but that's okay we are patient here managed to beat all the levels!! I enjoyed how much thought was put into all of the puzzles and Aquaboys remarks! Very funny! Over all a great play I really enjoyed it!

Very fun game I love it when I feel like I am learning the mechanics and getting better as I go! it was super fun to master and progress through the levels! love the lil grumpy fish very fun

This comment made my day!! I am sosososSO happy to hear you liked my devlog I was really hoping it would help everyone and the positive reaction made writing it so worth it!! :D I am greatly looking forward to making the next batch of plants. Thank you so much for your kind words!

thank you so much for your feedback!! I completely agree with everything you said!  Espescially the plant flipping! Thats a plan we have for a future update for sure, looking forward to figuring that one out!

The plants are coded to grow even if the application is closed, so you dont have to minimize it or leave it running! You can close it if you like and they will still grow on their own! :D 

Really appreciate you taking the time to give such an awesome comment! Thank you!!

Hi everyone!! Two things! One, I am thinking about playing all your html games in to give live feedback and a rating! If there seems to be any interest I will try and hop into the pixel jam discord voice call again! in roughly 5 hours from this posting!!

Two! I also made a marketing devlog in case it helps! I have 18 ratings right now, not a lot but enough I felt like I had some valuable insights! especially since mines a big download game! Seeing people play it has brought so much joy and I want to share that!

thank you for the feedback! Super awesome to here the kind words. The graphics were so much fun to work on since Kibo_Bea was on programming I got to give the art my all! 

We have alot of ideas to add on to it, maybe fertalizer? I plan to poll to see what sort of features people would like to see next! Its a hard balancing act because I see the theme as "patience is rewarding" but sometimes you just want to make a pretty display tank now...  I worry adding to many clicker elements may start taking away from the idle game aspect? Polls and beta testing will definitely help decide the direction!

The amazon sword is a toughy, definitely going to be a more of a "final boss" in future updates when there are more plants... It takes weeks to show signs of growth and months to get to full size, you wont see progress in the bar till its left for quite some time.... But I heard of how popular of a plant this was and it looks so pretty I had to still include it!

I believe that plan grows so slow (espescially in comparison to some of the fastest aquarium plants I could find to include for the early jam stages)  that there is no visual progress for a while. Unless you leave it for a few weeks and the progreess bar hasnt moved at all? IF it's left for a month if there is still no change though it's definitely broken... If its not to much trouble we would really appreciate an update in a few weeks time to confirm if its a bug or not! No preasure though the feedback you gave was already awesome!

Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to leave such a thoughtfull comment it means the world!

Always fighting that shark, cant not with that description

ohhh great points I really appreciate the feedback! The growing time-lapse was intended but we ran out of time hopefully something for a future update!!

Love the replay-ability! Definitely enjoyed the mechanics it was very satisfying to get that speed up and I LOVED the sfx it was very spooky to hear the snorkel and put some good pressure to hurry up and dodge those bags. If you were to add anything I think a SUPER NEAR MISS would be very cool! Lots of fun! 

Nostalgic! reminds me of my Undertale days in the best way! It would be cool that if when you die, you could play as a ghost fish to continue to engage with it  but that's coming from someone bad at dodging and still wants to play haha! Great job with this one I enjoyed it!

Lovely little game very charming! It was very satisfying to scare off the predators by tucking into the shell what a lovely mechanic. Love the animations for the lil critters!

Very tasty art style!! the audio was great and the track itself had good challenge progression. I would recommend making the jump a bit more dramatic, but that might of just been me struggling with it.

I would absolutely LOVE to make that a feature if possible thank you so much for the feedback!!

Very cute I adore the art style! The card packs are very fun and balancing the tank is very enjoyable

I adore the creativity of this game! the community aspect was awesome! I love the art for the Oasis

I died 60 times and still had fun! I am very bad at platformers forgive me... Definitely worth the time spent I love the movement system for the main character.

Very fun! a complete story to which is BONUS POINTS! Finding the right card combos to do big damage was very fun. I felt like I was learning the game as I played and improving at it which I really enjoy!
