The gameplay is very fun. It's a combination of perfect timing and skill. I noticed that the world wasn't fully designed in full screen mode (my monitor is 2560x1440, tried it on a second monitor 1920x1080 and it worked fine though). It was also very frustrating for me to lose all 3 lives if I touched the coral or the surface of the water. Still, I had a lot of fun with the game. Good job!
Simple yet very polished!
Nice little game, I wasn't very good at it though. The music and visuals were good :D
I love the use of electric coral. Instead of mindlessly swim to the corner, I have to balance between swimming and attacking. Nice work!
Finally beat the last level after many attempts! Very polished, fun game, and I enjoyed the challenge.
really good!
Really hard, but i am impressed that you made your own music that actually sounds alright
Cute and silly, though I'm really bad at it.
Good job!
Something fishy is going on
literally :D
This is super fun! Love the take on the theme its super creative and funny yet the gameplay is great too. This is definitely top 3 games I have played so far
thanks so much!
Cute game, last level is way too hard. Cool and satisfying mechanics, I could see this being fleshed out with more obstacles in the water, multiple fishermen per level, etc. Good job with your submission!
Took a few tries but I managed to beat your game! You know I was expecting this to be a game where the goal was to avoid the line, but your interpretation of having to yank the fisherman into the water completely subverted my expectations, good work! Level 3 was a bit hard for me and took a few tries but I REELED in that win, lol.
The gameplay was satisfying to pull off and I don't really have gripes with the game's current state. However, the tutorial was a little buggy in that it was skipping when I didn't want it to. I would also like to see some gameplay enhancers that make the combat sequences a bit more interesting as well as a bit more polish on the game overall. There were some grammatical errors in the tutorial too. Great work though, you actually blew my expectations out of the water! Keep making games!
wow thanks so much for the great feedback!! Yeah I had plans to add a lot more but just ran out of time. Thanks again!
Really fun! As someone that has gotten yeeted by a fish before, I can confirm that's 100% what they look like.
LOL
Very great idea and a fun game.
Fun take on reverse fishing and great visuals!
Thanks!
Very cute game, chill music, consistent style throughout and I love the depth that having to move around in the water adds to a simple minigame.
Thanks so much!
LOVED IT!!! Great idea, loved the muscles on the fish, the 3 levels were challenging but super fun, Nice work on hitting the "feel" effect with camera shaking, and tension with you pulling/ being pulled. Straight to the point and one of my favorites from the Jam so far! The music and aesthetic were super pleasing too. Great job!!
Thanks! Was really focused on game feel for that part. glad you noticed!
LOVE IT!!!
woah
