It took me a second to figure out exactly how things worked, but once I did it provided a really interesting challenge. The look of everything is really nice and it looks like a lot of effort went into getting the tentacle movement just right. Well done!

Tower's Last StandFor me, a huge part of the fun was playing with the controls and the mechanics. Made me appreciate this unique spin on the fishing genre more. -From a fellow fish game jammer.

Plenty of FishTentacle monster games looking nice in this game jam ; ) . I like the mechanics used to pull the fishing boats down, made me use 100% brain power when trying to get 2 boats at once. There is a nice amount of content for just 48 hours, well done.

Deep WatersGood call on the controls, I think we could tweak things a bit to make it feel more responsive. We can't take credit for making the music, feel free to check out more of their stuff here: https://pixabay.com/music/upbeat-a-bit-uncertain-22145/
Gorgeous game. One of the more complex submissions I have seen. My partner liked it so much we searched for it to play it again.

Get PackingNice! my favorite aspect of the game was the multitasking, you need to shoot stuff, aim tentacles, and maintain the 1 and 2 presses depending on whether the hook was green or red. I loved it cause it makes sense since you are an octopus like creature, with many hands.
As a small piece of feedback though maybe the tutorial could be simplified a bit, I needed a bit before I understand what I should do.
If you can find the time, would you please check out our game as well?
Our twist of the theme is that a critic tries to play your unfinished game, and you fight from inside the computer to make him like it. Hope you'll like it!

Little Man Behind the ScreenI liked the catching gameplay. It's a very nice experience. Great Job

Avoid TetrisI had a hard time getting the hang of the catching minigame, but the game is very charming and fun to play with. The physics feel really smooth and I love the animation of missing with the tentacle. Great work, wish I was better at the game!

InstrumentalPersonally I felt like I had to cut so many features from my game due to the time constraint, but you guys absolutely killed it!! Not only is the game loop well defined, you guys included upgrades, a day and night cycle and an encyclopedia of victims!?
Even though at some point I only got about three fishermen at the same time.. I struggled so much with the multitasking! That along with the power ups, you got me hooked. Had a lot of fun.
Congratulations on your game jam entry, you're setting the bar high for quality <3
