How does you game fit the theme?
Word play in the title, and by the end of the game you produce "fake" fish using a factory and drive away all the real fish.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. The only asset not created by myself and my team is the Chill Pixels font, which is a free for commercial use font.

I love the graphics, very well polished. The audio is very nicely done and fit's the scene. The gameplay get's a little repetitive but all in all it's a calming experience. Very well done!
Really glad you liked it! What did you feel was most repetitive, we may want to buff that out in the future
Pretty nice game but i think even quick mode gets repetetive very quickly. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong that makes the game boring at times
Glad you liked it! What was your typical play style I'm interested in identifying the most tedious parts of the game :D
This game is so good!! Everything in it is just so well done! The pixel art is amazing, the music really calm and chill, the fishing mechanics are awesome, the tutorials are really good and I didnt find bugs at all. This was fun and I kept playing it, until the surprising end. Really good! I will probably try the normal mode. I am curious if it is any different!
Wow! So glad you liked it and got all the way to the special ending, normal mod is more of the same just takes a bit longer :D
Very nice and chill game. Love the music. It would be cool if you could move around with WASD or arrow keys as well.
That is a great idea, definitely putting that one in the books if we update!
I loved the different fishing gameplay techniques. And the music/art gave a great feel to the game
Our artist and composer really pulled off something special here!
Great ambience!
Glad it felt right!
Great game! Good idea, nice graphics!
Thank you for playing!
Great game, feels very polished except for some UI issues (the hover text kept disappearing for me).
The progression is super well done and satisfying.
So glad you liked it! I spent ages working out the fade bug and could never get it right! Luckily it is a rare one and I think a refresh fixes it :D
very solid game. Kept me playing for quite a while. I've included footage in my upcoming youtube video.
Glad you liked it! We're so honored ^^ Please do let us know where we can watch it!
There is a link to my youtube on my itch page. If you get a chance, my game is in need of some rating s LOL
Noted! I just played and rated your submission! Super cool stuff :D
this felt like a pretty polished full on mobile game, no way it was made in just 7 days; Amazing job everyone, visuals, gameplay and audio were all really good!
Bonus points for terrible fish pun gang :)
Fish pun gangg 😩👌 Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed it :D
Cute little gem! Really polished, mini games are fun and it's just a good experience all around.
Amazing job!
Thank you so much for playing! Glad you liked it :D
Nice job recreating the fishing from Stardew Valley. This was a really fun and relaxing game. Art was good and the music was good.
thank you! Glad we could get it right on such short notice and we’re glad you enjoyed :D
Normally, if the theme doesn't match, I don't rate the theme column highly
however, your play on words got me laughing, so have your good rating lol
Great work.
People would pay actual money for this, if you were to expand it. It just feels such much like Stardue or something.
Great work. love the artwork
glad you liked our wordplay! There’s also a little twist at the end of the game ;)
nice game! I love fishing mini games and it was nice how you had a variety of them. The art is also beautiful. My one nitpick would be that I think it would be a lot more fun to know what fish you caught, especially if you could get an image in there. As it is, the game told me that fishing with the rod catches rarer fish than spearfishing, but I don't really feel that because I don't count exactly how much my money went up. Would be really nice if it told me what I caught, showed a picture, and a number to show how much money I got. Could like, appear on top of the shop or something. icon and a green number that says +xxx however much money you got. Anyway awesome work. Love it ^-^
Thank you so much for the input, we'll definitely keep those in mind! Glad you loved it :D
Okay so um.... Explain to me how you all made a game jam that I played for literally over an hour and got to like level 106 and the only reason I stopped was because I was super tired and fell asleep?
Fantastic, so much fun, seriously had a great time. Can't believe you made something so great and long to play in such a short time. Super excited to see where you all go with this. 10/10 will definitely be playing again, so I can unlock everything.
Oh goodness that's insane!! We all worked as best as we could with the time given, so we're thrilled that it paid off and you had fun with it ^^
Definitely shows!!So excited to see what you do next!
Great game, so meditative and calming. Music and art are so cool. Good job!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it :D
the game is great, so chill :3
super glad you liked the vibes!!
Wow, this game is so chill, I loved it.
The fishing rod mechanics is so creative!
GG!
Glad you had such a chill time with it! Thanks for playing :D
Whoa. I loved the graphics, the minigames, and the message. It gets you thinking.
Very well done!
So glad you liked it and thanks for playing! We're really pleased we got our message across too :D
What a great chill game. Amazing level og detail and polish, and what a fun way to implement the theme!
We're so glad you liked it and felt the polish! Thank you for playing :D
I know how much pain and how much work polish actually is, and taking it to that level takes a lot of brainpower haha, you did great :D
I really appreciate hearing that team and I had many a late night with this one!
