Fish Bowl Buddy
A downloadable Fish for Windows and Android
Simple fish bowl app.
This app was originally designed to be an interactive desk ornament, so at its core it's a clock with an interactive fish.
Feed your fish to get coins once per day, use coins to buy clothing, tank decorations and backgrounds!
Used Screaming Brains Studios noise texture pack for shader effects. You can find it below

Also used a font pack by dalton5000.
