This was a great time honestly, it took a little while to get desensitized enough to make sure I had the game feel going, but even though it was super tough, the gameplay elements have a lot of cool ideas in them, with top-notch presentation. With some more time and polish, particularly in collision detection and balancing, I think this could get a decent amount of people following it!
The graphics held together really well and the concept is interesting. Unfortunately, I had trouble with looking around - periodically the viewing angle would just hang for a while. Additionally, I couldn't figure out how to actually select a fishing depth - what is the select button?
I found the piles of nightcrawlers to be amusing. Great start to an interesting concept, I hope you develop it further.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for playing! For selecting fishing depths you would use W or S to go up or down, and select the level with E. You unlock new depths by purchasing them from the tackle box on the chair after collecting enough money from the "riches" or going above quota on fish. That's interesting about the viewing angle, we'll have to look into that, thanks!
Thank you for the clarification! I guess it would be pertinent to add that I tried "E" to select... but it didn't register a selection.
Interesting, that's a bug we haven't seen before. Can I ask what browser you're using and what you're playing on?
