This is such a cute game! I love relaxing walking games quite a bit, and the models for all of the animals were so charming! Picking them out is really fun, too. The time mechanic is super dope. I agree with what people are saying about music, for my game we got ours from opengameart.com and i think they would have something that matches the vibe you have going on here.
I would genuinely love to play a post-game jam version of this game, if you ever decide to pick it up again!! good job!

this game is super cute and fun, i love the idea a lot!! Also i love that one of the enemies is a fly, thats just really good!

Hey thanks for such a detailed comment.
For the chop score, it is based on trying to save as much of the meat as possible - so you want the head and the tail off, but all of the body intact. Generally this will be just behind the gill line, and just where the tail starts. The light is also based on your descaling, i believe, so if you had any scales left, or took off too much and the skin wore through, that would make it hard to get that green! In the future I think i wanna shoot for an interactive tutorial, which should help alleviate that sort of confusion.
The two hands are a bit redundant! I personally play with one when i play, but some people really liked the feeling of holding down the fish and using both hands in that way.
its our first official game jam, so we are just happy to be here :)
Thanks again for playing our game and thanks for your feedback!!

We were trying to ride the line of cute and not being too freaky/gross lol!! Thanks so much for playing!

Thank you for playing!!!

thank you!!!

thank you so much! I haven't scaled a  fish either so, hopefully it hits the mark!

thanks so much for taking the trouble to download it to give it a shot!! We figured out (after the jam ended) that we should have had the particle shader load up before the game really started (like in the title screen perhaps?) to avoid that initial load spike while scaling for the first time. Now we know for next time though!!! lmao
And for the scales, as long as you dont see the pink flesh underneath you are good - i think in the future i want to shoot for a more interactive tutorial so things like that can be explained.
Thanks so much again for playing :)

THIS IS SO COOL! i love everything about this. The music slaps, the aesthetics hit just right, and the concept rocks! I hope i can play this with other people online so i can get the full experience of it. great job!!! 

I really enjoyed the premise, and the puns were quite cute at the end! 

Such a fun idea, and the style was super nice and polished. I loved everything about it :)

This is such a neat concept! i really loved finding out what was going on and how the size of the box affected the gameplay. Super cool game! 

i love the look, and the gameplay is really nice! its really fun to figure it out!

this is great! i love the art, and the mechanic of actually shaping the weapons!

This is genuinely sooooo fun and addicting to do. I love the idea and all of the different ways you used scale in this!

This was such a creative take on the theme! I loved the style and the mechanics so much!!

This game is soooo lovely! I love the art and the story -- the way hobbies define us and mold us can be so fun huh? really fun and comfy :)

thank you so much!!!

thanks!!! i know, i feel for them too TTnTT

yay!! it was such a fun theme this jam, wasnt it? thanks for playing!

thanks so much for playing!!

This is SOOO cute!!!! I love the concept and how each of them have their own abilities. the facts were super fun, too! i would do anything for snowball TT-TT

The style is awesome, and it plays well! the music is annoying but funny - and the slurp noises are.... well.
overall tho this is a really fun game, and is crazy good for your first game!!!! u should be proud, even if you did make a game about poop.

absolutely infuriating katamari. /pos
This game is so fun, and such a cool idea - i love the style of everything too!

This is super fun! The music a great touch, and the game itself is a really cool take on like a tower defense game!

This game is super fun! I love the host, and the overall idea matches the theme so well! 

this is a super awesome game!! I love the like nod to spore, but taking on a whole different direction. (robo spore!!!)The visuals rocked, and the game played smoothly - only a bit jumpy in some areas with more going on (esp with the humans) .

really well thought out and executed!

I love the concept sooo much!! really fun game once i figured out what was going on

this game is so fun!! I love how many recipes there are, and running around a kitchen as a gnome!!!! feels good to play, and the sound effects are great! 10/10! also i love that the gnome does the gangnam style dance TT-TT

overall great game and execution of a wild idea. only issue is camera tracking sometimes makes it impossible to see whats happening (specifically inside of the smaller areas)
