In what way does your game fit the theme?
We wanted something that is easy to pickup and soothing to play while capturing the theme of the jam, "Stronger together".
In nature, fish create shoals (schools of fish), to scare away predators. They do this by forming beautiful and intriguing patterns together. Effectively, they Swim Together.
There are three main reasons for fish to Swim Together:
1 - Safety
2 - Feeding
3 - Breeding (evolving)

Love the game, pretty cool concept, the movement mechanics are pretty satisfying. Though, I would love a fish counter to see if I have maxed out my fish count. The camera also tended to glitch out when moving towards a specific side for a longer period of time. Overall, really cool, I love it.
Great feedback, thank you a ton!
Nice and simple, relaxing game! Only real feedback I have is that there were some times where I got confused as to which shoal I was controlling? This could be fixed quite easily by just tinting the shoal the player is controlling so it's easier to tell. Still a really polished game with some chill vibes. Nice submission!
Happy to hear you liked it and thanks for the feedback <3!
We'll try and make it more clear.

Interesting.
Played it, liked it, rated it!
Great job!
What a relaxing game! The death on the second area felt kinda unfair as first area was completely safe, you should have warned players about that. Besides that, nice job!
Thanks for the review! <3
We'll make sure to add some type of warning :)
Nice game! good vibes. Eerily similar to mine lol. Well done!
Happy to hear you liked it! <3 I saw yours too haha it's very similar hah
Liked the game and the idea behind it, also goes really well with the theme.
Graphics were great, although sometimes it was a bit hard to tell the fish species apart, could be just me tho. Music also really fit the mood!
Great game altogether.
Happy to hear you liked it! <3
Wow, that put me a good mood. Loved the lighting, particles, physics. It seems like it'd be challenging to simulate being underwater but that was super polished. The music was such a bop too, totally fit the vibe.
Haha, what a lovely review <3
Really happy that you liked it, means a ton!
I liked this game! well done!
Happy to hear <3
cool game can you try mine
?
A really lovely looking game, amazing colours!
Glad you like it <3
very nice and relaxing game, camera movement could be slower(smoother).
Thanks for checking it out and leaving a rating! <3
Appreciate the feedback on the camera. :)
The graphics are amazing. I don't know which ones are original and which ones you got from someone else but their still stunning. Somehow that stops me from getting too mad when I have to restart.
Haha, glad you enjoyed it! The graphical style is all our own!
I liked the game, very nice visual aesthetic. The music is catchy and it makes you feel like it's a chill game but then something eats you and you lose all progress :P
One thing that threw me off was that the position of the cursor wasn't clear enough and I often lost it.
Hey mate glad you enjoyed the game and thank you for the feedback <3
Increasing the brightness of the cursor haha!
Nice, relaxing game...until the sharks appear and devour all my friends :'(
But seriously, great game, I'm particularly impressed with the multi-agent system with the school of fishes.
Hahah, unfortunate!
Cool that you acknowledged the technical aspect and very happy that you enjoyed it! <3
Calm, relaxing, very nice touch with lights :) Really enjoyed the game.
Really happy to hear that you liked it! <3
I love your game, it's one of those calm games which you could play on evening. I really like the idea of fishes and how the lights are used. The only thing that I have problem with was the upgrade as when I entered there, I couldn't turn it off.
Hey, very happy to hear that you enjoyed the game <3.
We'll have a look at making the upgrade menu more intuitive. Thank you for the feedback, means a ton!
Awesome game! Nice and relaxing atmosphere regarding graphics and music. Cursor of mouse could be a bit brighter, only discovered that I had a focus point available at the end of my session :)
Happy to hear you liked it! <3
Haha, fair enough! You're absolutely right, we'll increase the brightness. :)
A very nice, relaxing game with intuitive controls, a very clever idea, and well-executed. The graphics and music are nice. The audio is satisfying and nice particle effects. The only improvement would be a WebGL port so you can play it in the browser so more people can play.
Thanks for the comment and really glad you enjoyed it! <3
We ported it for WebGL but did not have time to upload it sadly.
