Absolute banger of a game for real. Chill gameplay, cool, creative fish (ouroboros was my fav) and the absolute pinnacle of comedy on the manual. 10/10

Love it. Reminds me of stardew valley

Developer

i also liove the book "it", though it doesn't really remind me of stardew valley, it more so reminds me of the movie "It(2017)"
( thanks im glad you like it )

This game is a straight up triple S! It's a simple, silly and something-i-would-actually-play-if-i-was-a-kid-in-the-back-of-the-classroom kind of game. I love it!
But man... your uncle is not exactly a good guy.

Developer(+1)

something-i-would-actually-play-if-i-was-a-kid-in-the-back-of-the-classroom type game is actually what i was kinda going for with this,
and the uncle is a rather morally... grey... character...
thanks for the "comment" !

Excellent execution, I wish I had time to play in further but the game seems very long(which isn't a bad thing I just don't have time). 

The amount of fish is insane, if you add a bestiary and achievements something you could probably put this on steam for a dollar or two.

Developer

and add 20 dlc each one adding another 100 fish

Wow wow. The variety of fish is impressive. Kinda wish there was a fish book for the fish you've caught, but still, kudos for the amount of effort put into this!

Impressive numbers of fish. And the game is fun too.

Such a fun and satisfying gameplay loop. I was hooked from the start.
Not gonna lie, in a moment (2 hours) of madness I sat and grinded to $300,000 for that damn license >_<

Developer

Even I wasn't bothered to actually grind for the fishing license i put it in there thinking it would be funny! !! Congratulation!!!

Submitted(+1)

really cool that you made a hundred fishes. My fravourites were the hollowknight, undertale and omori fish but COME ON theres no way to see what fishs you've unlocked?! It was engaging for a while but then I got bored so I had to play it while watching a ludwig stream. I unlocked every upgrade but I gave up since the uncle license was too expensive and I had been playing for over an hour at that point. Overall sick game!

Submitted(+1)

I did the exact same and watched a stream in the background haha. If it makes you feel any better, I grinded and bought the license and just as it stated on the description.. it did nothing -_-

Developer(+1)

I didn't have time to   add a collected fish menu  but i wanted to
glad you liked the game! ! ! ! ! !

really makes you feel like a criminal

pretty fun actually, and I really liked the art style too, only complaint would be to put it so you can play on the web, 

Developer

i originally wanted  the game to be playable via web but the version of godot i was using didn't let me, and i didnt want to update since it could break something among many other excuses

Genuinely a good gameplay loop and a lot of fun. Killer jams too. I also didn't ever encounter a duplicate fish...? But I didn't play too long. Either way pretty impressive.
