That's a funny idea with good gameplay. I liked the art style and the simple chill music/sounds. Also the core mechanic was fun to play with the animations and sounds. Great job!

Feel free to hop into my game as well and share your thoughts and ratings if you have the time

Game is FUN!  This is one of the more unique approaches for this game jam! Had good laugh cause of audio! Would love too see it after jam !

This game is so cute, the fishermen gargling is pretty funny and overall I love this Game!

Amazing game! I remember seeing it on somebody's stream and thinking, wow what a fun looking game, but I wasn't able to try it, I didn't realized you're the one who made it when I was in your stream haha.

Super polished, very well done, cute graphics and animations, really funny voice acting, catchy music!

This is such a great entry and I'd love to see a multiplayer 1v1 version of this, I feel like it'd really be fun to play against my friend while we both compete to see who can get a higher score as we fight for humans to catch LOL!

I'd love to see a dash mechanic that has a cooldown because sometimes I felt a bit too slow while trying to get 4 people at the same time, then they'd let go because I was too slow.

Here's my score, looking forward to see where this game goes. (PS. I totally got 3000 and didn't draw an extra 0)

Hey, this game made me smile ! The controls are smooth, yet just floaty enough to be challenging. I love the gargling when the fisherman falls in the water, it all comes together so nicely. In the end it felt soooooo satisfying when you could pull 3 or even 4 of them into the cooler, so cool. The level of polish is nice, I hope to see more of it :) Thank you for submitting this and good luck, in my view, this is definitely a topper ^-^

Conceptually this is genius, fishing for humans is silly and fun! The controls feel great although It would be nice if I could “sprint” or “dash” to get around a bit quicker sometimes, the sound effects and music are really nice but after awhile the music can get repetitive.

Visually the game looks fine for a 48hour jam but has a lot of room for improvement post-jam with polish :]

Would be nice to have some form of combo mechanics or collectables around the level and I would like to see my high-score at the end of the game or from the main menu!

I think this game has a lot of potential to be expanded upon post-jam :]

There were so many fish games in this jam, but this particular one truly made me feel powerful as a fish. Love the funny voice lines, I think they made the game feel complete. It isn't too easy either, you can actually screw up if you touch a solid surface, and then the human gets released from the bait. This was fun, and with more features, I could see this game doing well post jam. Well done!

What a fun game! I think this is actually my favorite 'anti-fishing' game of the jam (mine included!).

The best parts for me:
 - Swim animation reacting to the turn was very nice
 - The humans swimming back to shore
 - Generally the good vibes and silly voice acting


The top-down approach was really accessible, without making the graphics boring.

What a unique interpretation of the theme. I enjoyed playing this game very much. This is so well polished and the audio is so nice. Well done

I cackled very loudly at the "Are you winning son?" Seriously, this was fantastic. Very well made. The mechanics felt great. And the art and music nailed the vibe. I really wish I had had the chance to do narrative work of this nature on my own game. Well done, folks. Hope a lot more people get to experience this awesomeness!

Oi, blimey that's strong! I love the sounds and visuals, super cute! The gameplay is really fun too and one of the better versions of human fishing. My only complaint is maybe adding more places for humans to spawn because it gets a little repetitive. Still super fun! I could easily see this being a really popular mobile game / arcade game.

haha, pulling the fishermen into the water is really fun and the voice lines are PERFECT!

Submitted(+2)

very nice! I love the atmosphere of the water, its weirdly calming, and i also really enjoy the comedy of the voice lines. I'll always respect someone who can make a 3D game like this so quickly and from scratch as well!

Submitted(+2)

Yeah this was amzaing! :D Don't know what I enjoy most, the way the fish and people move in the water or the voicelines. I mean, just such a creative take on the theme with such funny execution, t's awesome, great work!
