the graphics really stand out, the animation, 2d and 3d art are all good as others comment.
but I think you don't have enough time for the core gameplay. It is lack of interaction and goal, gold is useless and I thought it can be interact with the nest, really pity that can't really pick up the fish (i mean eat, maybe). The ebb and flow system is good and have potential to be developed
will be a lot better to have more stuff!

The game looks super beautiful, the combination of 2D sprites and 3D environment works really well. It's a very relaxing experience, although it is really hard to hit the fish while picking. Good job!

@eggshelldog Thanks a lot for the feedback! We originally intended to add gameplay features like interacting with the nest and rewards for collecting gold, but sadly didn't have enough time to include everything. Maybe we'll add these in the future though :)

Cute style and nice atmosphere, but the controls did not feel so good.

This game is super cute, I am absolutely in love with the characters, the stork is just so adorable and its quite fun to pick on the fish~ This is definitely a game I would love to see more of if you ever had the time to do so~ You definitely did an amazing job and playing was fun :)

Nice art, chill music and ambiant, but I don't understand what to do after collecting gold nuggets.

Ooh, that's a neat art style! That being said, I'm not sure if there was any gameplay beside just taking gold nuggets. Great job, definitely interested to see more polished version of the game if it will happen some day!

Art is awesome. Love the chill music. Not sure what the pick at fish does. Definitly some great setup for a future game. Congrats !

Very lovely art and music, that make for a nice and calm experience! The rising and lowering water are is a neat mechanic and made it a bit more engaging. The angle on the stork being from the side even though you still control it normally is a bit odd, but it's not a big deal. Overall the game is nice!

I could tell before I even started that this was going to be a visually impressive game. The graphics are really nice and you can tell a ton of time went into making it look super polished and pretty. The music is also great, creating a really relaxing mood. The game itself feels a little bit lacking though. Though it's very relaxing and enjoyable, the lack of a goal holds it back since it's kinda tough to get super engaged in something that feels like it doesn't really have a purpose. I think working a more clear goal to work towards would make this game really great! Nice work!

It is very very visually striking and the music gave a nice vibe, but had a bit of a hard time catching the fish.
