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)
Thanks for checking out our game! Remember to leave a rating and comment with feedback! :)

Feels soothing !
:)<3
The art is awesome! Was super calming and peaceful. Loved it.
Happy to hear <3!!
Love the art, well done.
Great experience - nice and peaceful (for the most part). I wish you could continue on the same level rather than starting over, but I found it rather enjoyable
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback but we se it as a part of the more retro style and a part of the challenge.
HAHAHA, good one. <3
That was relaxing. I also think the point light cursor was nice.
I got a bit lost knowing which is the main fish but overall it felt nice playing. Congrats for the submission!
Glad you enjoyed it! We will look in to that in the next version.
Impressive game! The mechanics were cool and easy to understand. You did a good job in creating an atmosphere that ties it all together!
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it.
I like your game. The point light cursor was cleaver.
Glad you liked it!
Sweet, relaxing game! I thought whatever algorithm you used for schooling was really cool, I spent a while trying to figure out how it worked! I'm not sure how to judge on graphics and audio since I don't know how many of the assets were made during the jam. What you did with the particles and the light though was really cool though! I especially liked the subtle mouse cursor in the form of light
Awesome review, thank you a ton! <3
As for the assets, we made most of them ourselves during the jam, some are old ones!
Okay, I'll go ahead and give you the full ratings for them then! They come together to make a really nice final product!
Amazing game, love the overall feel and how relaxing it is. Keep up the great work
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 :)
