Whimsy Koi

I'm not english speaker as primary language but for me the "back" sign on the shop would be more intuitive to read as "close" instead since it closes the shop and returns to the core game window

+Since you can only click a koi with left mouse button which is the same as dropping feed imo the game shouldnt drop feed on top of the koi you are clicking to view the info. Feels like a bug

+The fish and the pond are beautiful, also love the eating sound effect

+The music is fine but if you start to listen to it it's very repetitive. The basic sounds of the music are good enough

I don't know if its good or not but was suprised to find out that when holding the left mouse button the feed drops 1 feed/1 sec(?) but only if you keep moving the mouse. If the mouse doesnt move but you hold the button the feed doesnt drop.

If you are as grindy player as I am you'd want to hold the mouse button and the feed would drop maybe 4 feed / 1 sec since the fastest way to feed is to click very often which isnt very ergonomic xD

+I'd love there to be some indicator when the koi has reached maturity so I don't have to click each koi separately to find out after feeding for 5 mins straight. Like maybe a faint glow? After playing a while longer I noticed you can kind of see it from the size of the koi.

+It's a bit counterintuitive to use settings (ok, pond) menu to "sell all adult koi in the pond" why in settings? that isnt a setting? Also same with "stop feeding adult koi" why it isnt a core feature player doesnt need to care about already?

huge fan of this so far, but i have one note and one possible bug:

first, I think the fully grown koi might actually be too large - everything looks crowded and it's hard to appreciate how pretty each one actually is, especially when they're near the edge of the pond and get clipped off

second, the two 'sell all koi' buttons don't seem to work. they definitely did the other day, and I'm not sure if they're broken right now or if they don't work when you have locked fish. which would be odd, nearly every collector like this this that i've played would simply sell every fish that wasn't locked.

anyway, i look forward to the full release !

I had fun! Got all the way up to the 100k koi. It became quite arduous to grow those fish, even when maxed everything out. I took this to be the end game but if that's the case, trying to collect all of the 100k fish, let alone all of the 1k fish would be herculean and, frankly, a major waste of time. It turned off the dopamine hits I was getting from growing the fish and selling the less valuable ones so I just had a pond of super valuable fish... I would have wanted to create pretty ponds filled with fish of all one color palate or things of that nature but as I was waiting for my money to tick up, I decided to fill the pond with as much food as possible so that I wouldnt have the difficulty of feeding them when I could afford to buy a new one. I must have hit the cap on food (screen roughly 75% full) because the game bricked. When i reloaded, the save point was a ways back and all of the food was gone. All in all, very fun time sink with lots of dopamine hits throughout. Loved the polish and core idea. A couple of ideas: Perhaps moving the end point down to 50k or 75k and scaling down the required growth could help keep interest? Also, being able to move fish from one pond to the other? Breeding? Again, I had a bunch of fun and think this was great!

How do I switch ponds?

So, it doesn't seem like anything happens. I did the tutorial, I clicked on the Koi. Then...nothing happens. My money doesn't increase, I can't buy more fish, nothing increments. My koi eats, but nothing actually happens.

bugs:
  1: when you click a koi it pauses them but when you unselect them it jumps them because it only paused visuals
  2: the tutorial part telling you to click a koi has no obvious way to progress past it.
