I'm assuming the starting money is probably for ease of access or debug purposes. After catching one fish, I checked the shop and I had 8 different copies of it somehow. Respawning is also kind of weird. Sometimes you respawn in front of the last place you were at, sometimes you respawn in front of the house. One time I respawned inside the pier and just fell through the map for the 3rd, maybe 4th time. I also didn't really see any way to catch more than one fish per boat trip. I didn't really like the spearfishing too much, because it shoots at a weird angle, so I would often miss and then have to restart. Shooting fish sounds fun though. I wish I got to do more of that in this game.
Thanks for the feedback!
I should have made it more apperant that if you press r you would reload your speargun. I will fix this when I update it thanks for the input.
I see the potential, but way it is executed now is not good.
Giving the player a lot of money right at the start kind of eliminated the whole point of fishing.
Even when you do decide to go out fishing it is very unclear know to catch fish. I shoot the fish, pull it back up, and nothing happens. I tried everything and it didn't work.
Ability to buy shack accessories is kind of nice but then again, you can buy it right at the start so there is no actual value to these accessories.
Thanks for playing my game!
This was unintentional, and I forgot to take it out before the game was published, will fix this when the jam is over. Thank you!
