This was legitimately a really good game. I enjoyed playing it allot.
This reminds me allot of kerbal space program. Good job!
This is an amazing game. Good job!
amazing graphics. I found it very difficult to paint with the brush.
This is such a unique art style. I love it!
That audio hurt my ears dude lol. Funny concept though.
It's a good game! It takes some skill to get used to.
Great game. I kept dying and decided to move on. But I love the artwork and this definitely gives a dark unsafe feeling
I'm not quite sure how it fits the theme. But that was interesting.
I loved the art style. The movement, screen transition and animations are so smooth. I love it.
I couldn't get this to run on windows. It was missing some dlls
I ran into glitches as soon as I tried to harvest my first crop. A big error message appeared.
Good concept, but was incredibly short
Great game! I loved the music in the background
Very unique style and gameplay, well done!
Really well done game! Excellent graphics and a clever concept!
Great game. i like the artstyle. Very difficult but fun to play
Seems like a cool concept, but I didn't run into anyone.
All around I like this game! You can tell allot of thought went into it. A little bit slow at first but once I figured it out the game took off.
A bit slow to start out. But overall a unique experience.
I would have loved to see a more complete version. Great concept.
Death to the roombas!!!! This was such a good game. So clever, I enjoyed it very much.
It says 404 not available
I love sailing games, this has great potential and I would like to see more.
I love potatoes. This is awesome.
Fantastic concept! I would love to see this as a full game.
This has great graphics!
Nice game. Life is pretty hard for a homeless person.
This is fantastic! I didn't know a game like this could run in a browser. The mouse sensitivity was a bit high though.
I enjoyed this game! I was a little confused at first, I was trying to suck as many of the planets in as possible. Turns out that's not what you're supposed to do. I had to play a few times to get the hang of it.
Nice game. I really enjoyed the art style.
I feel productive now
This is an absolutely beautiful game. I loved the watercolor effects. I would love to use this to make a game of my own.
This is a great game! It is a bit complex at first, but I feel accomplished when I succeed!
This is a great concept and I enjoy playing it! I like the crispness of the artwork, I do recognize that once you have yourself set up then it is really hard to lose the game, it essentially turns into how long your attention span is.
I like the rain effects on the umbrella
This is so clever! It captures exactly how I felt as a kid playing with a stick. I would rate this higher than 5 if it let me.
I loved this game! It is tons of fun. I found the controls a bit difficult. The game definitely is a challenge.
This is by far the best game I have played on here yet.
Great graphics!
This is a beautiful game with fantastic artwork!
Good technology in the game. The controls were very difficult to use.
Clever theme
I can't get this to start in windows.
Very unique art style. I would like to see more of this.
Interesting concept. I had an issue on finding out what to actually do. Some instructions would be helpful.
Very impressive artwork!
404 not found
@jummit @pierre-fuille-studio I just fixed it so that the game can run on a minimum of java 8, older versions should now work! Please try again!
@vovin Thank you for the feedback! I did not use libgdx, I used LWJGL 3 and Slick util!
@sigod is this on windows? I have found that it cannot be started from a command line. clicking and executing does however work.
@sigod yeah I'm not sure what is wrong with it loading in the console. I have tried this myself and can't get it to run. But if you run it natively on the desktop it works.
@sigod I am sorry. I am unable to recreate the issue on my end. Everything seems to be working. It is working on my end, my recommendation right now would be to make sure that java is up to date on your computer and re-download the game file. I apologize for it giving you this much trouble.
@sigod I just did that to no avail. Everything still runs as it should. I also downloaded it from my online source to verify that the uploaded copy wasn't somehow corrupt. I have uploaded the source code in case you would want to run it from that.
@ausstein I don't know if you might have a different operating system. But I just uploaded the files it needs to run on linux and mac. Previously it would only run on windows.
@joseph-yannessa was your tree at the proper height? Playing it I have found myself trying to upgrade before I am at the proper height.
@joseph-yannessa I am glad that you tried at again! and am impressed that you found the secret :)
@hcursino It makes me so happy to hear you enjoyed my game. Thank you so much for the feedback!
@ausstein @sigod @pierre-feuille-studio @jummit @mad-brokli Hey all, I believe I have fixed the issue. I can now run the game in the command line without any warnings. I had to reduce the sampling rate of the audio, so the audio quality is slightly less now. On another note the file is only 18mb now!
@ausstein fantastic! Thank you for the feedback, I'm so glad it works now
@bootak I missed your tag i'm sorry. It should work for you now!
@smitto what wasn't working? others have reported it working on windows. Were there any errors you found?
@yohsk13 thank you for playing! I am glad that you were able to enjoy it!
@hijomo did you have your tree at the proper height to get the upgrades? Others had complained saying that they couldn't upgrade and it turned out that their tree did not meet the requirements.
@fupi no that is not an intentional feature. What operating system are you on?
@quadape thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback
@fupi I am sorry but I am unsure on why it is doing that for you. I am unable to recreate this gripe. What resolution is your screen?
@fupi shoot. Well I designed the dimensions of everything in the game to run at 1280x960. So there may be an issue with the screen ratio that is causing that. I am so sorry that the full functioning game doesn't work for you.
@danilo-freire it should work with mac
@atomfox0213 thank you for the feedback. It has to do with the screen dimensions. I am unable to fix that without starting over. I now know how to prevent it in future releases. I am sorry that you are unable to fully enjoy my game.
Very clever, this is actually a really fun game to play. It is very difficult however.
I liked how crisp and responsive the visuals were!
this game is stunnung
I never thought I would be playing a ddr type game for this theme. But here I am. That was amazing. I need to get better at typing.
I like the mini boba fett guy. The artwork is fantastic. I think this looks really cool. It was a bit to get use to at first, but the ai is really good.
I found a little difficult to get started. But overall a good game
I liked the artwork, the art style really set the mood. All of it was so crisp.
This was really cool. I played it for a good minute. But there seems to be no negative side effect to going over the server load.

This game surprised me with how fun it was.
This was hilarious!
I'm sorry bud, we've all been there.
This reminds me of calcifer from howls moving castle!
This was a shockingly amazing game. At first I was like "well this is cute" then I got attacked by flamethrowers. I love the idea, the artwork is amazing, it fits the theme, the audio is amazing. Hats off to you.
Btw, was this on some sort of emulator? What was the pico thing?
this got really difficult really fast. good game though. Was this made on an emulator?
I couldn't figure out how to use the weapons once I made them. All i had was a craft button.
This is really interesting! I couldn't beat it though! Very frustrating, very challenging.
This was great! Very unique design! I got a good way through before i found out it was okay for the rope(or insides) could touch things.
Interesting concept. I liked the atmosphere and the film grain effects, it really set the mood.I recognized allot of the sounds from skyrim.
This wouldn't load for me. I tried to play it.
This is beautiful! I didn't think I would find an RPG maker game here.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Long nights and allot of work went into creating this. The purpose is to demonstrate how delicate the environment of the reef can be. It begins stable but as natural disasters occur if gets thrown out of whack and you have to adjust it using the sliders. It is difficult to keep the reef alive, but that was intended.
We originally intended to have a web in browser version, but the graphics that were rendered weren't doing it any justice and didn't best represent the hard work that went into the game, so we elected to remove the in browser version.
I have it on my phone and it runs "swimmingly".
@random-storykeeper thank you for the such in depth and valuable feedback! As to the red text, that is a bug and we will have to look into fixing that. We were programming and working on
The predators colors are actually restricted on the color spectrum from blue to green. We didn't want to make them darker colors because we didn't want them viewed as "bad" because predators are necessary for a healthy environment. So we elected to leave them as vibrant colors but restricted as to distinguish. But maybe you are right and we should do something to restrict them to a greater contrast as to distinguish them from the prey.
We also wanted to have a hunting mechanic where the predators actually "hunted" the prey to cull the population to where it was. We had a version implemented but it wasn't working correctly at release and had to cut it for time.
The main menu was going to have a wave shader that showed the surface of the ocean that was working but we ran out of time to implement.
We did want to have more varieties and creatures, such as crabs, clams and octopus but were constricted due to the lack of time.
The environment was going to react to the disasters, as in pollution would change the color of the water, trash would be visible. Coral bleaching was going to drain the color from the coral. Over time if the environment was healthy then more coral would grow.
This took probably 60 out of the 72 hours to make with both of us working. We were programming and then had to build and upload the game with 5 minutes to spare.
I am planning on fixing a few things and posting a post jam version with some of the other features and sounds we wanted to include, so keep an eye out for that. You can follow me on: https://jakemchugh1.itch.io
I do feel that the simulation is still beautiful and robust given the amount of time we had to work with and am proud.
@codyhansen thank you for the great feedback! and yes, you were just really really lucky. Every 30 seconds there is a 30 percent chance that there will be a natural disaster.
@jupiter-hadley thank you so much!
This is a really cool game. I played until i had to just mash buttons to stay alive and then kept playing until my laptop couldn't handle the amount of meteors falling down.
This isn't configured correctly. I can't play.
This is awesome! I can't believe this was made by a 13 year old. I teach 13 year olds how to make video games and they never make things as good as this.
This did not work at all
I can't escape the first part
This is a very interesting take on the theme!
may be a little bit too simple. I killed it every time in hopes it would slow the virus
