Fun little game of absurdity. Like, who wants to smash an aquarium? Apparently everyone. Music and sfx and gameplay all had an old-school arcade feel. Well done!

4:50 min and probably -400$ later: Was getting quite intense a lot of times but still managed to somehow barely keeping the fishs alive. I liked the smaller details: eg. not losing water when the cracks are above the water line, also bonus point for the name of the game and the arcade vibe highscore board with the matching music! It can get quite challenging if the water is low already and a lot of people are block line of sight, maybe you could not only indicate with the bubbles where water is draining but also with water pouring out in front for better visual feedback.
I enjoyed with this game ty)
The pace of the game was perfect - it was rushed enough to make you panic at times, but not too rushed that you couldn't recover from intense moments, giving you that "whew!" feeling. I appreciated how the water level would rise as an object fell in the water, and how the fish just seemed indifferent to it all, lol. I would have loved to have a way to win the game, if only to save the fish, but perhaps that defeats the purpose of the leaderboard. All in all, I had a lot of fun playing this game. :)
This reminds me of being a kid and being in an arcade and finding a gem of a cabinet game with a unique theme that I discovered for the first time. The core mechanic moving then climbing the ladder and fixing the glass was easy to learn and hard to master. The challenge level seemed good for me and I didn't get too frustrated too quickly. I was hoping to buy things earlier to make it more visually interesting in the background, but I kept trying again until I could and them it felt like a nice reward. I thought graphics were clean and nice. One small suggestion would be to add more character to the fish graphics or how it behaved so I could know why it is so disliked. But maybe it is like Tom Brady and some people just love to hate on it for no good reason. I played this longer than just about any other game I have tried -- so very nice work.
I had so much fun with this game, it got intense fast! Wish I could smack the people throwing around the glass bottles or tapping the glass XD. The visuals for the game and soundtrack is done really well too! My only issue is that maybe the player's character could be a slightly different colour as it got harder to tell which is the character when there's more people around.
Overall, great game! It was really addictive, felt polished, and super fun!
why.can't.these.people.just.be.nice.for.ONCE!
awesome entry! Really dig the art, music and the idea in general.
Haha! Nice game I really liked it! 2nd on the leader board! :D
Really well done game! I don't know what that fish did to have everyone hate it so much but I better be getting the employee of the month award for fixing everything! Graphics, audio, and concept were all really good, nice take on the theme. I really enjoyed playing, great job!
Cool concept! I was engaged in the game the whole time, not being bored for even a second :D Are the leaderboards global?
This was great, had lots of fun, good music and having the water rise again by buying those upgrade structures was a nice touch. Well done on the design of the different "enemy" types and the ladder concept too. Survived for 7:15 and enjoyed it till the end.
very fun game,the difficulty curve is fine, can reach 5 minutes. the graphics are fine and the music work is excellent
Love the music, the gameplay is very engaging despite its simplicity -- maybe because of it. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't spend the huge mountain of cash I collected. Great entry!
Really cool concept, I was glad I survived long enough to get a couple of purchases. Those little kids were brutal tapping on the glass! It was a really well thought out game with a lot attention to detail, great job!
For being the most disliked fish he sure does get a lot of visitors :p I really liked this game, it's polished, the controls are intuitive and easy to learn. The music is awesome! and one of my favorite points is how balanced everything is, while it did get more difficult, it never felt like it was unfairly difficult, I love how you can use the money to stay alive longer, overall it's a really fun arcade game and I liked it!
P.S: My final score was 6:55, it was tough but I did it!
