I like it! I managed 89 seconds on my first try. The game kinda registers that I'm clicking around on this page to review it though, so the game keeps restarting whenever I click in my browser. Your fish can last 26 seconds with no player input, which is a lot longer than my game! I went for a seconds-based score system too. Our games are pretty similar, yet feel completely different! I love the magic of game design.
The pixel art is awesome, that potted tree looks fantastic and the fish is so cute! I like the color coordinated meters too, it makes things very clear even without labels. I do wish there was a meter to show the contamination of the bowl though, a good threshold for learning how much is too much. Or a way to clean the bowl somehow, maybe one that poses its own problems? Cleaner fluid that clears the dirt but is toxic to the fish in high amounts or something.
Audio would have been a plus: either you included it and it's not working for me, or you didn't include it and could have opted out of that rating. As is, I gave Audio and Humor each 1 star since otherwise all the ratings only count as 0.75 of a rating instead of 1 whole rating, which seems unfair to me.
Overall, I think it has a lot of potential with just a little bit of extra polish! I'm glad you and your girlfriend were able to make something together!
@papabirb Thanks for trying! I managed to fix that issue where the game still takes inputs while out of the window. The toxicity of the tank is already shown in the corner as the green bar, and hopefully I can add the rest like sound effect and music on time.
