Great game! The tools were a bit glitchy where if I selected one tool and swapped to another, 3 tools would be selected simultaneously.

I like the look of this game and the tooltips are helpful.
A tutorial would probably be useful, or some prompts to demonstrate how to stabilize the initial setup.
I also think a thumbnail/minimap view would be helpful for keeping an eye on algae without having to swing the camera around so much.

Overall, a nice and chill game. I like how the game interpreted the theme. I also think that it's very easy to understand how the game is played. I think that a larger overall goal would be better than just earn as much money as possible for this type of game. Basically, the goal is not motivating enough.

Really nice little game that reminded me of playing all sorts of fish sim games when i was a kid!

Chill game to play. Eventually my prawns just stopped reproducing though, not sure what happened there. Also found myself wanting to zoom out and hide the side menu quite often. Should add that functionality

Cool game! The shrimp raising mechanics felt pretty in depth and it was fun taking care of pH as well as food. The art was nice as well. It would be nice to hide the sidebar however, as algae grew underneath the menu which I couldn't remove, so my pH went super high and I couldn't fix it. Overall, pretty fun. :)

The idea is very cool. I really enjoyed watching the of the small cute shrimps.

There's a bit of a problem with the tool inventory because it runs over the game screen. But it's easy to get used to.
