Great to see an attempt to make a story-rich game, also beautiful visuals! One minor nitpick I had was that player was able to move when talking and interrupting fishing, but still enjoyed the fishing minigame, nice to also see another game related to fishing minigames :)
Congrats on the submission!

Qite the relaxing experience, i love how he just decided to stay. The fishing was a bit dificult for me personally since the blue slider went down way too slow. Cool game, also frogbert is a good name.

The game obviously does feel like it could be expanded, but the peaceful atmosphere of the town is great and the fishing minigame isn't bad. Good job overall, the presentation is great.

Very nice art, great choice for the music and I love the stardew valley fishing minigame (and SFX if I'm correct), very funny twist in the end. Maybe you should expand on the north idea (the goblin mentioned it at the end)

I found the aesthetic relaxing but I wish there was more to do. Like maybe in addition to fishing you could move boxes and do some farming, constantly helping the town out instead of adventuring.

I don't have a lot to say about the game, as it mainly consists of 10 dialogs and a fishing mini-game. The fishing mini-game could benefit from some improvements, particularly in terms of the player's control over the blue bar, which feels too slow to catch up to the target. There definitely is potential for more development and exploration of the game's concept.

A nice game, just didn't understand how the fishing mechanic worked...

Man, i love fishing

Really chill game. The music created an atmosphere similar to Stardew valley and the narrative was definitely original :D. The artstyle is nice but maybe the road tiles would look better if they blended a little with the grass surrounding. Overall, well done!

Very chill, there's some small QOL changes I'd make, and the fishing system is unfortunately not quite as slick as the one from Stardew Valley which it's emulating, but overall I enjoyed it. It reminds me a lot of Evoland 2, actually. That game's starter town has similar music and general vibe, and has similar tilesets and npc sprites for when the player goes back in time. Good work!

Very cute! Love the chill vibes and could see a whole stardew-style game being spun from this! One thing I could love is knowing who to talk to with an indicator of some sort!

Very cute and chill game, another Dhafo classic. I always knew Dhafo was a goblin in real life and this game confirms it. Thanks for making the best game of the jam.

I really like the twist on the traditional adventure story. Also that background music was super relaxing. Great entry.

I love how cute this game is! The gameplay is a little slow, but the art and humor make up for it!
