Present
When we were brainstorming for Extra Credits Jam, we spent a lot of time with ideas like christmas, giving gifts or time travel... Then my dear friend was reminded of a quote from Kung Fu Panda. Master Oogway says;
“Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery,
and today is a gift...
that's why they call it present”
We took inspiration from that and changed our course to taoism. We also added a mechanic to keep the koi at the center of the screen which is hinting at “be present in a particular place”
I hope you like our game, the “Present” :)

I'll be honest, the aesthetic of the game is amazing for such a short time to produce, the music is spot on, and the idea is fascinating and original! I love it, but I've to admit the controls feels like you are fishing the koi more then playing as him and I thought that the point was to maintain balance and eat white and black dots accordingly to the symbol on the left, avoiding to get it too dark or too bright, but I often die without knowing why, were the symbol is still "not too dark" or "not too white"
