I think its really cool the idea you cant control your main character, but instead the enemies and prey around you! I also love the visuals, they look really good!
I wish Buffer could take a few hits before dying, or maybe that the fish reel bar was a bit longer, but I had alot of fun playing! 🐡

DeepDownReally neat concept how the main character is not directly controllable! I read a comment here that taught me I could also move big fish out of the way -- not just food. That was helpful but I still had a difficult time. Sometimes the hook didn't seem to respond, and there's one aspect that felt a bit unfair: your hook only starts to recharge if you deplete the whole bar first -- so if you have 40-50% left after hooking some food, you can't regain it until you use up the rest. I think that was often how I died, trying to hook a big fish out of the way but not having enough charge to the power.
Really cool concept and I like all the artwork for the fish! Nice work!
Thank you for feedback!
The reson it doesnt charge when you are not holding anything is because when I tried to do it for some reason it was breaking the charge. So i was like, eh its a feature now. Im sure it doesnt make the game too hard. Well I quess it did make the game quite hard xD
I hope you know that you can attack with right click or space? During the time bar thats down is emptying ANY fish you touch will die, even shark (doesnt work on Fishing net). So you can kill multiple fishes with one attack. Its slow to charge back up but might save your day. Also you dont get points from killing.
Maybe the reason its not always responsive is because its a browser versio? I didnt have issues even on browser but obviously doesnt mean others wont. Did you have a lot of tabs on or anything that might slow it down? Or what browse did you use? Maybe some work better?
Fun and interesting concept - it's simple but surprisingly difficult! Sometimes the hook didnt pick up fish for me

CatFishingGood game. Very well done, but I did have difficulty with the controls to an extent. (might be because i'm playing with a track pad instead of a mouse)
