I'M LOVING THIS GAME. The zen-vibe is super-chill, and a welcome mood. Addictive, and very relaxing.

Neat idea, not a whole lot of interaction but I think that's kinda what you were going for so its not that big of a critique.

Fishies!!!! I kept letting my fish die at the beginning but then I was massing them, then I got rich, then I let it rain with fish food! 5/5 would play again.

Cute, relaxing game. Love the little angry(?) animation before a fish dies. The sounds don't work on macOS safari, work fine on the PC, but either way the sounds are the weakest aspect of the game so I didn't miss them.

This is pleasant! It's very relaxing to zone out and just enjoy the cute fish. Well done.

This game is very relaxing. Starts off a little slow, but ramps up pretty well. Nicely done!

where is the money is coming from lol are they donations to support the aquarium do the fish have jobs wait a minute I just checked my wallet I think the fish were stealing ethereum from me also is this aquarium as big as the ocean what's going on here by the way when the fish was looking at me I was shaken to my core

Cool game, reminded me a lot about playing Insaniquarium day and night as a child :) Good job!

Nice and relaxing game. :) One problem I had is when there are too many fishes. They all stay at the top of the screen, waiting for food.

simple but great concept ... I found myself sucked in for some keeping those virtual fish alive :) well done, great entry.

A very cute and successful idle game! I thoroughly enjoyed it, probably more than I would like to admit. Fantastic job!

This is very well made and relaxing. Maybe peaceful music similar to Mario 64 Dire,Dire Docks could have complimented the game. overall I love the visuals and fish.

From this point on, the game started to lag badly, you should have added some timer after you buy each fish before ppl can buy it again, so that players dont focus on spamming the first fish xD unknown.png

Spent way too much time on this... but this means it got me hooked ;) Loke the Pixelart. A counter of how many of which fish i currently have would have been nice!

Nice game! At first I didn't find the way to feed the fish... (I just assumed it was another tiny fish, didn't look at properly) and then he started looking angry at me, haha! :wink: I enjoyed playing! I had so many fish generating money, that I could not keep up by clicking for food! I liked how the fish all rushed towards the new food when I added some, but often they all got stuck at the top, and because of all the collision detection it got somewhat slow after a while.

It could use some variation in sound effects.

Overall, well done! I enjoyed playing!

This brought back childhood memories of playing Insaniquarium. I had a problem where the hungry fish would push the fed fish to the top, trapping the food at the top of the screen, so I had to spam food which resulted in this funny screenshot. unknown.png

Really solid entry though, love it!

I had a lot of fun playing this game! Even though all of my fish died when I went to the restroom, I realized that I had enough money to grow new fish! This game made me realize that there really is more fish in the sea!

Aw, I'm sad you guys got 500th, I loved this game to bits!!
