« I play a lot of complex idle and automation games, but sometimes you just want to do absolutely nothing. No conveyor belts to untangle, no tech trees to research. You just launch it, stare at the screen, and get drops. »

« Cute little fish. I wish you could add way more decoration. I think the decorations should be able to be double the fish. Having 7 fish slots and 7 decore slots makes the tank look so sad »
