Very relaxing game, just that damn bird that rots our sanctuary, simple and effective. It lacks a bit of atmosphere to fully enjoy the game and you can summon unlimited koi until the animation is complete. Thanks a lot and keep it up!
Bit confused on what the aim is? I read the how to play but couldn't get my head around it, other than that the graphics and summonin animation is really nicely done. Could have used some background music to make it more relaxing. Good effort!
Nice Graphics. Gameplay bit random was unsure what fish the hawk will pick next or i just did not get it. But there is a fun bug if you spam mouse click when buying you can get way more fish then you have resources for. Overall i did play the first two levels the last level bugged out for some reason and the fish never landed in to the pond.
Good work with the game the idea summoning fish was very original.
Interesting idea. Could be expanded on in the future :)
Nice game. Don't really understand how the hawk works and the fish sometimes stay in the air after spawing. I like the sound effects.
This game definitely have meditational mood. Ommmm.
Very relaxing. I am not sure if I can react to the hawk to protect the correct fish but the runs where very fun and relaxing :)
I know it is the type of game which you mostly stay calm and watch. Love to see different koi though!
I loved the mood of this one, and the graphics are nice. Got a bit lost on what I'm supposed to do though. Overall, great entry. Keep it up!
Interesting concept, but I did have a few issues. -If I had enough to summon a certain fish, I could spam click and spawn a lot more than I could've bought. Bugs are expected, but this one was pretty notable, as it's easy to do, and makes the game way easier. -I was a little confused on what some spells did, and also what the green status effect on stage 2 and 3 did. -Was unsure what the win condition was. After playing I think it was to reach a certain number of Ghost Koi? But it would be nice if it was more clear during gameplay. -Whenever I got a game over or advanced to the next stage, the game state is paused. Summoned fish would just float in the air lol. But at least pausing and unpausing fixed it.
Regardless, I had fun with it, and I could definitely see it being more fun with a few tweaks. Nice job!
There's something fun there to work on. Nice one!
There is a glitch in the game: The brains are spent when the fish hits the pond, so if you click really fast you can summon as much as you want but just paying for 1 ;)

I like the game though, I think with a little polish it could be very fun :)
