Nice twist on the fishing minigame. A bit too difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it, its quite fin-tastic :)

That's so good, because it's such a classic take on a fishing game but only in this one you're the fish, genius.

I think the execution is what made this idea elevate to the next level, the music, the art and the vibes are just really good, and the gameplay itself is pretty fun, especially with the new mechanic at level 5

I think that the only problem I have with the game is that it starts hard and gets easier, which should be the opposite

And I think that varying the rope catching system (so that it would be less predictable) would make the game fun even as an infinite high scoring game

Overall I liked the entry, definitely deserves a high place!

Really enjoyable little game. It's really hard when you start lol. I love the gameplay loop but the difficulty scaling is kind of off. I found myself suddenly being surprised by the newfound speed of the red bar and being unable to avoid it.

Really fun mechanic! It's a bit hard to get away from the red bar though maybe the fish speed could be faster.

It took me a couple tries to get the hang of how you need to move in order to avoid the red bar. But I did get to level 5 and got the [spoilers redacted]!

Congrats! I am happy you saw the full form of Freddy :)

Really enjoyed the concept and the art style was great! However I felt like the game was too difficult to truly enjoy. I re-read the controls multiple times but just could not get a hang of it. 

Developer

I am sorry you couldn't enjoy the game. I am regretting not making a proper guide. Thanks for trying!

Need a mate like Freddy, dude seems in the zone. I like the take on the theme by remaking the fishing minigame but from a different perspective. Had a nice time playing!

Developer

Thank you for having a good time with Freddy!

I really really wanted to play this because the idea seems great and I feel like I would enjoy it but whenever I feed on the first worm the battle never pops up so I get soft-locked, no idea why this happens, I'm doing everything as shown in the tutorial.

Developer

I am so sorry.. It seems like a bug that I never could've encountered.

This is a great idea and a cute little game, I desperately wanted to enjoy this and tried for a solid ten minutes but it's just too difficult. Something about the controls doesn't make sense despite how many times I re-read them.

Developer

Sorry for the inconvenience.  I should've added a better tutorial.

Thanks for playing though!

Nice idea, cute graphics, nice music and SFX!

This was the best I was able to do D: after about 10 tries, great game!

Developer

Now I see the game might be so hard.. sorry

Thanks for playing so much!!

I got used to it later on that's how I got to level 4 but I got hooked and pulled suddenly I couldn't react in time, Id say the controls are a bit confusing at first, if you used pictures for the tutorial I think it would've been better because the text wasn't super clear.

I enjoyed playing though great job my friend!
