Hey this looks cool! I want to play, but the link to the Zip file seems to be bad. I get a 505 internal server error when trying to follow it

Argh I think GitHub actually has server problems right now :(

I really liked it. But after a short while there are overwhelmingly many fish :-)

(note: i played on linux using wine, works perfectly!)

It's a neat concept with satisfying progression. Reminds me of clicker games in a way. Overall it was quite fun though :)

so many fish! This was fun! I was struggling at first, but once I realized I had to sacrifice points to reset the cooldowns faster, I was able to keep quite a few fish alive (over 500). The only thing I was confused about: does it matter where I click and release the food/oxygen? it seems like it is just randomly spread over the whole tank. I'm not sure if I was supposed to be trying to target certain fish that needed the food/oxygen over others. Still, a really nicely done 'simulator' type game.

Nice idea. Took a few minutes to figure out, but once I did, it's very easy to get a lot of fish. Seems difficult to lose at that point.

Hey there twin game of mine! That was a really fun game, and I think I did pretty decent. Really like the balancing between food, cleaning, and oxygen, but I think it'd be better if it didn't peak at so many fish so you could see them better on the screen. At my highest point it was just a wall of food/oxygen/dirty bubbles. Other than that small thing, I think you've got a great game here, and I hope you keep expanding on it after the jam. fishing-survivor-extreme-screenshot.png

After some iterations there is really easy to stay in the game. Funny fish with the speak buble :D. Maybe add some mechanic to hit the fish with the food to get some bonus.

Kind of addicting when I figured out how to play. Really engaging to push as far as possible, beyond thousands of fish at the same time! Good job :)

Fun simulation game! It does need a little bit of balancing, as others have noted - you can get an enormous amount of fish swimming about after a while and there's no win state as far as I can tell, but otherwise an enjoyable experience :) wowsimulation.PNG

If you will forgive me quoting one of the worst Godzilla movies of all time: "That's a lot of fish" 😉

That was quite a nice little game and a very impressive piece of work for a compo! Everything seemed to work as intended and I didn't notice any bugs. Graphics are simple but informative and the music was alright as well.

A nice Compo Game entry! I had fun till 500 fishes XD Since it's a "Clausterfuck" of fishes, I would have put them doing annoying sounds on pourpose or some player complaining grunts XD
