Quite relaxing

It's hard for me to call your entry a game, but it's a nice meditative piece of art with the same spirit as Viridi and Mountain.

Quiet, relaxing, moody. It would be nice to have some kind of interaction, like moving the plants or making the fish go away, or grab their attention. Very beautiful, really. Good job!

It is peaceful. I think it would be perfect as a sceen saver.
I think you should put the default volume up a little.

As it was said here before, not sure if this could be called a game, but it is nice relaxing interactive project, that is for sure. Maybe one thing that would make this more relaxing would be some nice ambient music.

Lovely style. This would be lovely decoration for backround in an office or on bigscreen in cafe etc. I see many possibilites for it. Nice job!

So I have been working on the project since ludlum dare. I made some interaction, improved the fish movement, added a realtime night cycle, and some other stuff.

A very contemplative experience, and it's great to see the less "gamey" part of ludum dare (although quite rarely). Thus, I have no problem with its lack of "gameplay" at all.

Nice moody game, though I was left yearning to be able to interact with the world in some way. Even some meaningless interaction would have made this so much better. Graphics are absolutely beautiful, maybe little variation to stuff could make them even more perfect. Glad to hear that you are developing this further.

I really liked the sound on this one. Well the graphics was of course also very nice. I'm not sure resetting was really needed, maybe if there were more variation to the pond (not really needed). Also, I would argue that you should have all mouse buttons spin and probably arrow keys too. Because if you just start up the game and don't read the instructions it is unnecessarily easy to miss.

Very nice pond

I looked for the player and the goal of this game in the first 3 minutes. And I was furstrated. And I found the meaning of the life.
This game is the connection between the human and the universe. It told me, that the life is more than goals, and quests. You got me an experience, and I don't know what should I do with my life. That's all. Thank you. ;)

Makes me wish I had a rock to skip 😄

Someone mentioned a screensaver, but I'm also curious if (and how) this would work as an animated desktop background. In that case the sound-volume would be just right instead of too soft too, I guess...
