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! :)

Very fun game. The music is very well made and it fits amazingly with the beautiful visuals. The concept is very interesting as well. Very polished and good game, keep up the good work!
Great game. Played it longer than planned. The music is very nice and the variety of the fish is awesome.
I think a counter for the fish in the swam would be great.
Nice! Really nice Game!
A well deserved 5 star for you buddy..Loved it
<3
I would suggest you to put some checkpoint. I reached far ahead and died...and had yo start again that was frustrating
oh wait.. i didn't notice the highscore option..its fine then
Was thinking of making a respawn system when you die. Instead of having to restart you respawn with the same fish type but lose 10.000 score or something!:)
That would be great. I would love to have that in this game..Let me know if u give any updates in this game...I just loved it
Wow, really good-looking and relaxing game
I really enjoyed the experience, it was relaxing and environmental, great! the music is awesome too, only adds to the experience! I only have the problem that if I ever go to the upgrades tab, I can never come back to the game, which is sad. Other than that, this is a really relaxing game, and I enjoyed it a bunch! Great job!
Thank you for the review and the feedback! <3
We're aware of the upgrade bug, sadly we did not have time to fix it. :(
A simple, fun, relaxing game. Well done!
Friendly atmosphere, sympathetic audio that puts you in a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.
However, the controls are to be reviewed, I have the impression that the movements of my character are not fluid. Maybe, you should also modify the background which would allow us to dissociate the different entities in the game.
The light cursor point is not visible enough, maybe increase the intensity a little bit.
Good job anyway!
It is very addictive and beautiful.
At first I thought it was hard to get a score (food), but seeing that by changing fish you get more I see it as a very good way to progress!
You have done a very good job!
I would appreciate if you would take a look at my game ;)

Thanks for the awesome review <3.
Very enjoyable and relaxing game. It would be nice if the fish species are more visually separated from the background and differ from each other.
Happy to hear you liked it and thanks for the feedback!! <3
Good game feeling. The maximum amount of the fish army could be larger.
Thanks for the comment! <3
Will definitely look into optimizing it!
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!
