I honestly didn't get the point of the game. Dialouges seems random and repetative. I played for 5 mins, until aquarium was filled with fishes.

Is there an ending to this? Do I need to do something special or am I missing something? Art could be better overall...

Hah, finally a game where I can talk to fish!

I don't know why, but in the beginning I had problems finding my fish, maybe giving it a weird different color would help. I don't think I quite understand the game. Is there a goal? Are there fail states? Why is the aquarium slowly filling up with more and more fish?

@for-science @nilead @kabalatrance on the last night we had some serious issues with battling and ending up scraping the whole aspect so there really isn't much to do. This was our first Ludum Dare though so we were kinda happy with the result despite how it ended up.

Jeez, some of these fish are violent! The art's pretty nice, but there's not much to do. Dialog bubbles popping up over each other can be troublesome and sometimes I lost which fish I was. Not bad for a first entry though, nice job (:

Unfortunately I did not find out anything about the mysterious hand. Except that he likes over stocking fish bowls.

Not sure how a battling mechanic would do in this type of game, but it would be nice to see depth added to this game.

The art is alright. I wish there was at least some variation in dialogue. Some very violent fish indeed.

Cute little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)
