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)

Glad you liked it!
Really nice game. Nice concept and fits theme well :) Got me hooked! Well done. Would be awesome if you check my game.
Glad you liked it! <3
Wow nice! I played this game for 10 minutes and I loved it! The music is great the art is great. Well done mate!
Thanks for the nice review mate, means a ton! <3
Awesome game! I died around 15 minutes into the game, will try again later :D
Awsome!! im glad that you enjoyed it enough to try again<3
It's a cool concept! It reminded me a bit of early Spore game play, which is a good thing! The game is relaxing and the music was very nice, I would've maybe liked the fish to be a tiny bit faster. And also a short introduction to the upgrade concept. Very nicely done overall!
Thank you for the review! Evolution stage of Spore was actually one of the inspirations for the game!
Feedback noted! :)
That's awesome! Are you planning on developing further on this one? Would love to see it evolve (heh)!
Yeah, we are atleast going to try and improve on the feedback we get from the comments here and see where it takes us from there.
Relaxing and really fun, fits the theme pretty well, good visuals and a really good music. This game deserves 5 stars in every single aspect!
Holy.. Thank you for this! <3
The game was entertaining, the theme music was nice. I would have liked for some fishes to stand out more, because some times they were hard to see, also an indicator to tell you when your school is full would have been nice.
These are great ideas, thank you for the amazing feedback!
I got stuck in the upgrade menu... Still not exactly sure how to leave the menu.
Hhmm.. it seems to be a weird bug that only happens for some. Will look into it, thank you a lot!
This game is really relaxing. I love the graphics.
Haha, glad you enjoyed it! <3
Great concept, good work :)
Check out my game, R0B0TS: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/920109
Thank you! <3

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!
