Really gives out early Spore level vibes, which brought my some instant nostalgia. I do love how fluid the movement is both for you, your lil minions and the enemies. My main gripe is that there is not even a score for how long you've stayed alive or at timer! Though it seems it doesn't get harder, so I guess it would be a game of patience! The world bubbles and movement effects were marvelous too, overall jolly good work on it!

It's cute, it works pretty well even though I didn't understand where it was supposed to go at the start, I'm trying to get away from the white line ^^

The tiny creature is really smooth, it's really pleasant to play. The gameplay is a little bit repetitive, maybe with more difficulty with time could help it ^^

Really nice art style, the mechanics is simple but well executed. I agree that it lacks some soundtrack, but other than that, great entry

Nice and simple :thumbsup: At the beginning I didn't realise that I need to follow the indicator so I didn't find any eggs XD

I built up my supreme army of multiple dozen fish over time and engaged the enemy fish in a gigantic battle that will be told of for fish generations to come.

Super fun game! Seeing the number of fish in your shoal go up feels super satisfying as you collect the eggs, there is a nice feeling of progression in that, and like I mentioned, having a gigantic army at the end feels super nice. I also loved all the animations of when the fish turn, like their tails following the line of their movement, that makes it all look and feel super smooth. With the bubbles, the color palette and the sound effects, I think you also managed to capture the deep sea atmosphere well. Very well done, great job!

Creatures and a their animations are very well done, though goal of the game and challange were not really clear. Just swimming around got boring quite fast. Sounds are also quite basic (thought at least they exist, which is not always the case on the jam haha). Overall pretty cool submission, good job!
