This game was created for Trijam #374 (Theme: Feed The Beast).

Story

Long ago, deep in the mountains, there lived an old man.

A pond beside his home was filled with countless carp.

Day after day, he fed them with care, finding happiness only in watching them grow.

Controls

Only the mouse is used to play the game.

• Left Click → Drop food into the pond.
• Right Click → Change the food size (S → M → L → S → ...). 

Rules

Carp are swimming around the pond.

As time passes, they become hungry and their green hunger gauge gradually decreases. If a carp's hunger gauge reaches zero, it will die.

Feeding a carp, either directly or indirectly, restores its hunger gauge.

Feeding also helps the carp grow. Growth is represented by the blue growth gauge. When the growth gauge is filled, the carp levels up and increases in size.

As carp grow larger, they become hungry more quickly.

Larger food provides greater hunger recovery and faster growth than smaller food.

Victory & Defeat Conditions

Survive for 99 seconds without letting all of the carp starve to clear the game.

If all carp in the pond die from hunger, the game is over.

Your final score is based on how many carp survive and how large they have grown by the end of the game. Higher-level carp are worth more points.
