Carp'e Diem is about a little carp who takes on bigger fish by growing his school of friends and learning the power of friendship... or something!

I mostly followed the "Growing" theme. You grow a school a fish large enough to take on even the biggest fish in the sea. I also tipped my hat to the 2-button theme, by only using 2 buttons (not including mouse movement).

All the art and audio assets were bought or open-source. I worked alone in Unity doing the programming and design myself.

I tried my best to make the game self-explanatory so you don't have to read several paragraphs before playing... so much for that idea, eh?

A special thanks to everyone in Twitch who watched my stream the entire Jam. Your feedback and playtesting was invaluable!

Thanks!
I hope you enjoy my game =)
