Keep the Reef by maaxoom

Ensure the growth of the corals by connecting the matching tiles. If the condition of your reef is good, fishes will make it their home. Make sure to keep it alive, or they may disappear.

That said, this was a neat little game, and kept me playing awhile while I tried to build my reef up enough to attract some fishes! Cool concept :D
I'm not sure if puzzle games your your "jam" (tee-hee), but I really enjoyed this entry.
I played for a little while. I'm guessing there's no "end state"?
It could use a number of improvements, like sound, a few more "events" or something that drives gameplay forward, but I like the fresh take on the traditional "match 3" games.
The scene developing while I played was really well done. Great work.
Some kind of indication what needs to be done would be great, and also some bleeps as sound effects.
The game is great, only needs some more polish. Congrats!
