Pixel Pet

A tiny pixel-art aquarium that lives in a VS Code panel. Add fish, crabs and jellyfish, feed them, and let them drift around while you think.

Features

  • Three creatures — fish, crab, jellyfish — each with several colour variants
  • Feed your pets: pellets drift down and the creatures break off to chase them
  • Play with your pets: everyone darts around for a few seconds
  • Click the water to call the creatures over; Ctrl/Cmd + click removes the nearest one
  • Toolbar buttons to add creatures, undo the last one, or clear the tank
