I got to get the bad things out of the way first, the screen size for the itch page did not work for me and I had to resize my screen and could never get it perfect. And the biggest one is I was getting close to maxing everything and my coins went to null, I know why this happens but I could not do anything after. But now with the bad out of the way the good, I loved the sounds and the art of the game. I loved the idea and thought it was fun, I did get close to maxing it out so that must say something, Overall I would say wonderful job. I did see that I said more bad here but I put all of the starts at 4+ so I did think that it was a good game.
Appreciate the feedback, sorry about those issues. We'll definitely work on fixing those the moment the jam ends!
I thought the way the camera moves and the feeling of it going underwater was so well done. I really like the upgrades too and how they add to the gameplay. Overall, really nice job on this game!
Thanks for playing, we appreciate your kind words!
This is a great game, one you can lose yourself grinding in, but the money bug kinda stops that in it's tracks. It also comes in randomly, with no warning. It does not crash the game - for me at least - but it does not count anything anymore, so I need to refresh, and lose all progress. I started over five times before moving on - probably a good thing, as I see myself pour endless hours into this if it was fixed.
Sorry about the bug, I hope you enjoyed it regardless! We may end up releasing a fixed and updated version after the jam ends if you ever wanna come back and lose some more hours haha
Definetely will :D
Great iteration of an upgrades-based game. Similar to my own submission in that way. I did experience a game crash. I had upgraded a few times.. ... I would estimate that I had racked up maybe 2000 gold (but not all at once, i spent it along the way), and anyway while the hook was coming back one time, the game kinda froze. the music still played. I could not do anything... I clicked on the upgrade harpoon button and the music stopped too. But anyway, the way the hook feels when you shoot, and catch fish, all feels pretty good
Thanks for the in-depth feedback, hopefully you were able to enjoy the game before the crash.
