I liked the idea!
Neat game, I personally think the bar keeps maybe a little bit too much momentum when you release the mouse button, but other than that, great job!
Very nice visuals
Very cute, I like the visuals a lot. I like how you handled getting caught on a hook, that was a nice design choice. My big pieces of feedback are that the game probs needs a score board or something like that. A good question to ask is "why should the player want to collect x?". You need to give the player a reason even if its a simple one like points go up. There seems to be some bugs because there is no music in the browser build, and the player loses after only getting caught twice. Neither of these are deal breakers, and its a game jam so you should be really proud of what is here, this is just feedback to help if you want to keep expanding on this later. Overall, congratulations on finishing the jam.
Very cute game! The cheese could spawn a little faster but otherwise great work!
Art style is cute, and once you figure out the hook mechnism it's fun, great work!
at the start it's very hard but it becomes easy when you understand how to get out of the hook.
i also really liked the art on the fish!
and also my game isn't getting many views, can you try it and give me some feedback ?
Oh no I got fried D:
Love the art style and very nice idea of game! Maybe the escaping mini-game is a little to hard but it’s not so bad!
Love the art style.
UI was hard to read the tutorial went beneath the screen.
Great game! We'd discussed making something similar, great minds think alike. I think you executed it very well :)
I love the idea of the playing the fish, rather than the fisher! The pixel art looks cool as well.
Cute game! reminded me of stardew valleys fishing.
Fun! The tutorial text was a little hard to read. I liked the idea for the theme and it was fun to play.
Great art style, fluid movement, not sure about that sfx slider in the options menu, i think it would be more entertaining if the hooks chased the fish, because at the minute its way too easy, overall really nice looking and feeling game though, great job :)
Thanks for the kind words. Haha yeah the sfx slider is there just for funsies. We wanted to put in some background tunes and sfx but thats for another time ;)
I really like this game idea. It is fun to play.
Small ounce of criticism:
The bait worm remove mini game is hard to understand (especially how to move the lower bar), and I was not sure if my clicking did anything in the beginning. Maybe coloring the lower bar while the mouse is pressed would help, or any other visual trick.
That's actually a really clever bit of advice on the fishing bar for user experience, thanks!
Really loved the art. I hope the fish has a name.
funny fish
Mmmm yes thank you for the kind words. Fish is indeed very funny, he charmed all of my friends with his witty sense of humour.
Love the idea behind the game. Did you get inspiration from Stardew's Valley fishing mechanic?
Even though it had no music, sounds and needed some background design (maybe a pattern or gradient), I enjoyed it!
Stardew Valley? Never heard of her :)))) We were hoping we could add a bit more mechanics past what we knew and loved, but alas time flies. I'm glad you liked the idea :D
