Hey, congrats on your first game jam! :) Hope you enjoyed it and got some useful experience. Now, about your game. I really liked the atmosphere and simplicity of it, I understood the concept and controls right away, which was very good. And you can never go wrong with a fishing game, right? Good job!

Developer

Very interesting! I like how the hook sways, so it isn't just a matter of staying right next to it and being patient.

Developer

Thanks ! It was really difficult to code that movement. I'm glad it came out great!

Neat idea! Didn't fully understand if I was playing it right, but it I think I got it. Never played a game where the fish taunts the hook so I thought this was original.

Developer

Thanks ! I will try to make rules clearer in my next games.
