Good fishing game but we are on the other side this time, I liked the idea a lot, it was fun playing, thanks for the game.

Here is my game if anyone wants to try:

Really like the graphics and the audio. Also the opening text was pretty cool, it gave a kind of vibe I can't really describe right now.  Great game overall and there's lots to expand on!

Submitted

Visuals and music made storm/clear weather change quite drastic. Overall good job

The game is great and fits the theme perfectly! :D

Submitted

Really cool game! the visuals were good, and i loved the soundtrack, it gave a really interesting mysterious and chill vibe. The gameplay was fun, boosting around with the octopus, although it might feel a bit repetitive over time. Anyway, i really enjoyed playing it, great job!

Submitted

Really cool! I loved how you made the scene with the plants on the front of everything. The sound is really cool too, it gives the peaceful sensation even tho the life of a sea animal is dangerous because of fishing. So i think you used the theme pretty well! I got a bit confusing, i still don't know what the cycle and the bar means. But i still had fun playing it and feeling as a sea animal! Great job!

Submitted

Very fun premise! But i found that the best strategy was to just move upwards all the way and just stay there not moving. With a more solid difficult curve and some upgrades, new enemies or objectives to keep things fresh, this could be a lot of fun!

Loved the art stile and the atmosphere. 

Though after a couple of cycles it becomes a little boring, maybe an increase of difficulty after every passing day would fix that?  

Nonetheless, great job!

Beautiful art style and graphics, good job!!.

Love the cute lil octopus guy and really liked the chill music combined with a simple design great job I enjoyed it.

Submitted

Very clean and cute game! The idea is great and the game itself is enjoyable to play!

Submitted

The most original aspect for me is the theme of the game: the tempest is caused by us, the humans. Poor octopus. The core loop is fun though, with a cool mechanic of surviving the anchors.

Submitted

A clean simple concept!, great art and execution. I played this for quite awhile to get as far as I can.

Submitted

It's a simple concept but well-executed.  Nice job!  The octopus is super cute.  Like someone else has mentioned, would love to see additional items or objectives.

Submitted

Really cool game design, love the style, its cute but scary when the ships show up, makes me wanna try really hard to run for my life lol

Submitted

I survived for about 6 cycles. Especially liked the lighting and the graphics, and the mechanic with dodging the hooks while collecting the items was interesting. Really nice job on this one!

Cool game! For some reason the windows download doesn't work for me, the browser version works just fine though. I love the nice little intro cutscene (maybe coz we did it too :D), keep making games!
