Controlling the fish after it's hooked in order to achieve the best value without breaking the line is quite fun, but it is a bit fast and it would be nice if the WA keys were made a bit more useful since they don't make much of a difference.
I appreciate the details with the trash and the line breaking mechanic to manage the anglers mood. However I found it a bit too easy to stay in the satisfied region, and didn't come close to getting the angler to leave unless I intentionally tried to. Maybe the range of the mood bar can become smaller as the day progresses, so it becomes harder to keep the angler satisfied?
Alternatively / additionally some way of scoring could be nice (maybe a list of the days catch at the end of each day with some kind of score based on the fish caught?). That could also be used to encourage working with the mood mechanic more, by encouraging the player to keep fishing past getting the angler into the satisfied region, and forcing the player to use the trash/line breaking to lower the anglers mood so they continue fishing and you can get a higher score.
Either way great concept, and the soundtrack was amazing.
A few bugs:
- Occasionally the hook freezes and can't be moved anymore until a fish runs into it and gets reeled in.
- Occasionally the camera would fail to zoom out again after zooming in or would behave oddly.
those notifications trolled me lol
Quite fun. but have to say i didnt get what the point of throwing trash was. just for fun ?
and i never needed to use the arrow keys he would just reel them in anyway
The soundtrack gave me scares with all the notification sounds.. Maybe its time for a vacation.. :D
Cool game, love the art ! I find the controls quite difficult to grasp though, maybe it would be easier if I just had to use Mouse or Arrow Keys instead of both. Keep it up !
Great game, I was so confused at the discord notifications though 😭
Very funny! The discord notification got me twice in a row. Nice job I guess, lol
At some point I thought I could move end of the fishing rode's line with my mouse, maybe it's just me!
And I loved the refreshing pixel art style.
Also I think I heard some Discord notifications in the game (making me check the app at this moment lol)
It's a very creative concept. It's just that the operation time is a bit short during the process of hooking the fish.
