Surprising to see a typing game in the jam, but it was integrated quite well here! The play on words of the title definitely adds to its charm. Great work!

Never thought I'd play a typing game here, but here I am. And I'm not upset about it which is good. Got 37 complimented when I beat it, which is interesting because it sounds like you'd want a higher number, but the better typist you are, the lower score you'd get... Also I found you can spam spacebar with no penalty to catch the fish. Maybe there would be a delay of the line reeling in if you miss a fish to prevent rapidfire spacebar? Audio is quite relaxing, Art is great. Not much more to say, it's good!
Lovely game! I love the idea and vibes, though I'm not good enough at typing to beat it lol
Amazing idea. Never knew that complimenting fish could be that satisfying. Great job!
This is cute! I really enjoyed playing it. Though the more I played, the more frustrated I got that i couldn't get the remaining fish down to zero. I was trying to time it right, but it seemed nearly impossible >_<
Great work though!
Such a wholesome idea! :D I managed to compliment 50 fish before I started misspelling every word lol! There were a few words that felt like they didn't completely fit (though I must admit calling a fish 'durable' is hilarious to me) but as a whole such a nice and cute game! :) 🐟🐠🐡
I can't type fast enough lol, cool game . I never saw that coming typing and fishing ,
Cute little game ! If we combine our game, it should make a good typing fishing game ahaha ! :D good job !
Didn't think a spelling game would have me this engaged. It was a really nice and relaxing game, and the concept is really cute!
This is a nice concept, great job!, I just wonder, how to finish the level, I got like 70 complimented fish but still the remaining getting grower
I really like the idea of 'fishing for compliments' but its you giving fish compliments! Very wholesome game
I do wonder if there is some ending after complimenting all fish?
What a fun cozy game to learn typing, I was trying to speedrun type it haha!
Tho I found some bugs:
- If you open the credits and close it with space, and after that press space again the close animation plays agains
- Also when realing in a fish with space and pressing space (once or multiple time) while in catching mode, after typed correctly the fish stays there after you catched another one.
Beside the bugs loved the game, tho some visuals could be better worked out some bubble animations, but it's actually a good game I enjoy!
Creative idea with fishing for comments, would have been so fun learning to spell with this. Thumb up from me.
