Yo, this is actually one of the most enjoyable games I've played this jam! I'm impressed you were able to make all of the physical assets for this jam. This game had a creative concept, and the mechanics were engaging. It has a nice balance of things you need to focus on. The visual bug ChamHC mentioned is kinda annoying, but I'm really impressed with this submission.

My team was considering doing the same idea haha. Also the sound was terrifying!

If you have a moment I'd really appreciate it if you'd also check out my team's game

Liked the idea of playing as fish, it fits the theme very well. The game mechanics are well designed, and pretty fun to play. Whereas, the fisherman's footing bar was a bit buggy, but was able to finish the game, and the ending stats were hilarious 😂

Cool idea, love how the fisherman fall into the water in the end, but the bar representing the fisherman's footing isn't showing, and the screen is flashing (probably some visual bug).

Thanks for the feedback! Did it always behave like this when you tried or start doing it randomly or in some specific scenario? I didn't run into this during development or testing :/
