I quite wanted to get to the end of this game (if there is an end but 16 minutes in it's hard to tell if the end is coming. I'm at population 15/20 and the fish spawning is very slow. Other than that, the prims are very cute. :) It could be harder to lose also, I only died by running off the edge on purpose.

@meijerson thank you for trying out our game and leaving feedback! It took me quite a while till I got to the further objectives and the massive spawning too. We're definitely going to look into making players reach to the meat of the game earlier!

Thanks for the feedback. We might adjust the progression/difficulty on a later date.
I wouldn't spend more than 5mins on game jam games, unless it really hooked me in, really appreciated that 16 mins of play time.

Pretty nice game. It's clear that with more time this would be alot better. The grabbing is a bit buggy, which led to many deaths of the small yellow beans. It's also pretty slow, decreasing the amount of fish needed would be better. But other than the technical quirks, it looks really nice, has a good idea and has pretty visuals. Good job!

@amigopadilha Thank you! :D we love making them prim babies too!
@belonzik ah yes! could've made the models a little more optimized to reduce the lag. Thank you for giving our game a go!

I loved the graphics: very cute and neat, there is a certain sense of composition in your entry.

Nice graphics and simple gameplay! I raised quite a few prims. I like the simple quest system that rewarded you every now and then.
