That algae-sculated quickly!

That algae-sculated quickly!

It's algae season again!

Take care of your pond so that your fish are doing well and the balance of your biotope is maintained! A pond will quickly tip over if you feed your fish too eagerly, and algae will take over.

How to play

We will not be able to complete the game and will release it as "unfinished".

Here is our game idea:
The balance of the pond is reflected in the well-being of your fish. To maintain this balance, you must feed the fish, add or remove fish as needed (put them up for adoption, of course), add aquatic plants, and clean the pond.
Each happy fish gives you points per time unit, which you can redeem in food, fish and plants.

This is an "unfinished game"

We will release the game as "unfinished" and will probably only manage to implement a cute pond with fish swimming around.

Here are the tools we used to develop the game:
- Game Maker Studio 2 for code
- Affinity Designer with Frankentoon Brushes and Neptune color palettes.
- WolframTones for background music (planned, not used yet)
- Audacity for recording sound effects (planned, not used yet)

About us

We're a couple from Germany and this is our fourth Ludum Dare as a couple. As last time, a toddler is bouncing around us and we haven't been able to take a vacation from our day jobs either, so we can only spend a few hours to this game jam in the evening. But it's a lot of fun for us, as always, and we love checking out the other results from you guys!
