  • The art in this game is really amazing and I think the beginnings of a game are starting to unfold. The controls seemed non-intuitive to me. I sat at the menu screen for awhile pressing buttons before having to revert to the page to get them. I caught a fish, cast to catch two more, the game showed a sunset screen and then crashed. I think building a story about the old man, why he's fishing, and walking the player through a bit of a tutorial would go a long way.

I had a problem. I followed all the instructions it is said to open the game, it did open the game and work, but it was so laggy, my screen was just a picture of your game. I have a windows computer but I really dont know what happened.

Thanks for your feedback! Seems like we'll definitely need to do some optimization before the official release. We also plan on adding more tips that guide the player and let them know how to play and what to press. Most notably on the main menu . Im not sure if you tried this, but you have to press Z to get passed the main menu

I hope it works out for you! P.S. check the project's description for more info about controls
