Cute fun, a game anyone could pick up and play. If you wanted the difficulty to scale up over time, you could eventually introduce Hard body parts that should not be touched or else risk dulling the descaling instrument, giving the player some boundaries to be careful of. Nice entry!

Wow, awesome game! Really liked aesthetics! Also very clever game design, cuz turning the idea of something as boring as cleaning scale of a fish to something as fun as this game is hard. Also i think adding highscore system would be very easy and would add more to long term goal. (But then idk if long term goal really needed in game jam games)
Everything looked very nice here, but I couldn’t get into the gameplay, because I think it got stuck for me:
Loved the colors and juice!
Very cute, well polished, relaxing game!
My one qualm is the Fever mechanic. First off, I wish there was some way to activate it manually - this would add more strategy to the game, like do you activate it when you have all the easy scales taken off & want to quickly get rid of the hard ones, do you wait until you're low on sharpness, do you activate it when you get a new fish, etc.
The second thing with Fever is... it's just a bit too distracting. I'm not usually one for motion sickness in games, but I felt like the Fever effects had too much motion and took up too much of the screen?
Nice cute little game!
The mechanics are simple but well thought, and it's very well polished, congratulations! 😄
I think that this game would be quite popular for mobile devices, I could see myself playing from time to time if you add more content 😊
I don't know how much is it, but I managed to reach 600 score in my first matches 😆
Great job!
Very cute and very well polished. Simple but with enough variation to keep you swiping. I really liked this one
Playing this game was a very chill and enjoyable experience! Love the art and just the general presentation. There's definitely potential in adding more challenges and constraints. Great work!
