I am pure vegetraian but i dont understand your song good game!

Submitted

Hilarious song lol

Submitted

Waht the hell, this song feels like it has a deeper meaning but no, it's just freestyle about random things and fishing for people. Am raintg this 5/5

Submitted

The song kept me playing, nice work on that.

Gameplay-wise I think the hook was really low on the screen, so in a lot of times you didn’t have time tor react.

Submitted

Loved the improv. Very well done.

Developer

Thanks so much! We really appreciate it :)

Submitted

Played the entire game once. Wasn't really convinced. Then I tried again with the sound on. What an experience. What a day. 

Developer

Glad you liked the soundtrack!

Thanks for playing :)

Submitted

Had me hooked. Get it? Hooked?
Love the improv-feel, the gameplay itself gave me strong flash-games vibes (golden era of browser games, change my mind).

Game might be even more fun in the winter, will try it again in a few months (its a diet thing).

It's ofishal. Your review of our game is fintastic. 

Thanks for playing, and we appreciate the feedback :)

Incredible game. I love the one take rambling soundtrack it really kept my attention for the whole game. Honestly incredible

Developer (1 edit)

Good to hear you liked the soundtrack! We'll definitely be updating the gameplay once the jam is over to make it more consistently engaging -- maybe different levels? We appreciate the feedback and thanks for playing!

Submitted

I think the game's just the right level of engaging, otherwise the soundtrack would be too distracting and I wouldn't be able to pay attention to both at once. 

Submitted

Love the music and the. I see you guys worked really hard. Love the goofiness

Developer(+1)

Very glad to see that other people are vibing with the goofiness of our game!

Thanks for playing :)

I like the take on the theme. Also I love the song :D

P.s. please turn down the SFX I almost shat myself when I catched a bird

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing :)

What a perfect experience.
Loved every second into it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for your comment!

I'll be sure to check out your jam submission as well :)

Submitted

the song was hilarious! great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for checking out our game! I'll definitely take a look at your jam submission too :)

Submitted

This was quite a humorous game, and a very solid presentation all around! Both the visuals and audio clearly communicate the intent of the game. My only real complaint is that I think that the gameplay drags on a bit, my suggestion would be to make the game much shorter but get more intense as time passes. Heck, maybe you could experiment with reducing the timer to something like 30 seconds, or even 10 seconds. Then, have the fishing gameplay go really fast with lots of bumps and turns. Good job overall though, great entry!

Developer(+1)

I agree with your comment on the pacing, and will definitely be editing the game accordingly once the rating period is over.

I appreciate the review, and thanks for playing!

Submitted

Audio-- 10/10

Gameplay-- 7/10

Great experience with enlightening commentary on the state of the world and the socioeconomic state of America. Great metaphor.

Developer

We're glad you caught all of the metaphors and allegories.
Thanks for playing! :)

Kanye has been real quiet since this banger dropped

Developer

Keeping an eye out for the Hooked on Humans soundtrack at the Grammys this year.

Fingers crossed.

Submitted

The Song Nuff Said!! haha! Good one team! And if I were to change anything it would be the game length. I would have liked a 1-2 minute game where I could try to challenge my high score. 6+ minutes is a bit long for one session.

Developer

Definitely agree with you about the session length.

We appreciate the feedback, and thanks for playing!

HELL NAH MAN YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SALT THE WATER BEFORE IT BOILS 0/10

Developer

😭

Submitted

When does the album come out? 

Developer(+1)

Album should be dropping later this year. We've got a feature-length film and TV show based on the game slated to release by 2024.

Jokes aside, thanks for playing! :)

Submitted

I like the drawing of the sun a bunch

Developer

Thanks! We're glad to see people enjoying the art as well as the rest of the game.

We appreciate the review :)
