The shrimpies are super cute. I managed to get the red and the blue ones to proliferate, but the green ones die very fast and I run out of money. I guess that's the underwater stones of the shrimp business ;)
I also really like the magnifying glass feature!
great minds shrimp alike :shrimp: love the concept and zooming in on the little guys made it better! nice game :)

Ok, I think my tank is thriving, now ! I love small worlds and management simulation games !
What did you use to compose the music :) ?
@rpgwanderer I used Bosca Ceoil to do the music
This is awesome I love the shrimp. Magnify was a great inclusion, very cool to zoom in on all of my little guys.
Nice game with cool shop mechanics! Liked managing those tiny shrimps, keep it up!
Fun little management game, though a little hard to find get it out of balanced. Really like being able to zoom in and see the little friends smiling faces, Nice work!
Nice simulator. I would have liked to know in advance the preferred ranges for each species and fiddle with the components to reach the goal rather than randomly adding stuff until the colors change in the right direction. It didn't seem that the environment changed on its own. Water evaporation or the water needs to be cleaned would have been nice features.
Thank you for the experience.
Nice relaxing game. Aquarium sims are so fun. I made an aquarium game too but didn't have time to make it realistic with pH and salinity level management. Good job! I played this for longer than I am willing to admit!
Music and concept are nice
Very cute shrimps!
I had to click this one as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Love a sim game. These kinds of games are really hard to make on such a short deadline due to having to make lots of UI and balance the mechanics, but I think you did a great job. It's a fun challenge (albeit a hard one) to figure out the right balance to maintain the blue and green shrimps. The magnifying glass is a fun little bonus.
I love the theme of this game! To make things a bit clearer, it might be helpful to add animations for dying and reproduction. That way, players can get a better visual sense of how the tank is doing and what’s happening with the creatures.
The concept of the game is really original ! Was fun to try to manage everything in this cute simulator :smile:
The green ones die too soon for guessing the right ranges in time xD As already mentioned by others, there is not clear enough feedback for adjusting the ranges but other than that I liked your take on the theme. Congrats!
Finaly i found your game - saw some post you made and was looking forward to play this game :D I love it, its basically seamonkeys-online, great to relax :D
