Harvesting is not only human activity. :fish: It's always the best season for fish called doctor fish to harvest human skin since they love it and our skin is ready to be harvested all the time.
(It's avalable both PC:computer: and Mobile:iphone: with recent OS)

A creative idea, fun to play, and an amazing use of the theme! I love the fact that all the fishes have personalities!

An interesting little game, reminds me of Zombiquarium in PVZ.

@she-wrote Thank you! Actually I asked chatGPT to help me come up with fish names and personalities which was pretty helpful.

The incredibly hauntingly worded premise of "Fish harvesting human skin" which seems to pop up everywhere in this game already makes this a 10 in the humor department for me. There's something really great about the unsettling quietness accompanied by the little bites of the skin eating fish.

Whoaaaaa, this is a weird game, I'm getting creepy-pasta energy from this. I'm going to have nightmares everyday about Abigail harvesting my skin :scream: . Good job writing up backstories/personalities for all of the fish!

i would've never in my entire life have thought of a fish-harvesting-skin game for a "harvest" themed game jam 😭 very creative and unique for sure, haha. honestly can't think of much to improve; it's a simple, quirky game. would appreciate your feedback on our game as well!

Beautiful sounds effects and a consistent and clean art style - a highly innovative entry, not least. Unfortunately my phone didn't manage to run it. Would be fun if the game forced you to hold your finger there, making the phone buzz slightly every time they nibble on your finger.

Superb work!

You can easily win by clicking near your chosen fish at the start and then running away once it takes the lead :wink: Cute little game, I like how the different fish have unique personalities. Unique take on the theme too.

I love Charlotte, but she's a terrible skin eater :/ I had fun playing even though it's quite a simple game. good job

What a unique experience. The interaction, sound effects, and behavior of the fish come together to make something that feels a little more visceral than expected. Nicely done.

I love the fish so much : )

The sounds are great as well even though they're minimal and the different personalities of the fish are wonderful.

The controls on touch screens are a little awkward. It would be better imo to allow dragging, and remove the finger sprite whenever the touchscreen is used. That way it would feel more like the fish are really nibbling on your finger. That would of course make the hitbox a different size but I think it would be worth it for making the game feel more immediate.

I think everyone else probably said it already, this is a wtf kind of game, which is funny.

Now this is a creative 'harvest' game! Simple concept, quirky, and fun all around. The personalities are a great extra touch.
