We both made a fishing game. We are brothers.

Loved the game! The presentation is increadible for a 96 hours jam and the idea is creative and easily expandable.

As a rhytm game fan I must also inform you that I will no longer sleep until I catch that pesky eel.

🎣 🤝 Good luck with catching the eel!

Good vibes, good tunes. I liked this game from all sides: graphics, music, gameplay.

Just curious, is there any way to save a sunken boat? I couldn't catch a green fish...

Developer

There isn't a way to save the boat yet! Didn't have enough time to get to that, but that's the plan!

Really very nice, a super original theme for a rhythm game, and it works surprisingly well! The graphics are perfect! I didn't quite understand the connection with the jam theme, but in any case, the game itself is very polished and definitely worth trying out!

I'm very bad at rhythm games. Way too hard for me, but it's a good game. I think it would be better if you had more time to see the arrows before you have to click them.

I enjoyed it. Good music and sound effects, it was very hard though I wish the first fishes were easier in some way. Well polished and looks good, I guess the theme implementation is that fish got scales, and the song got scales? A bit far fetched.
Well done!

Great game! I've obviously lost my rhythm game skills because the shiny eel was too much for me. The art, the colours, the music were all incredible and i could see this becoming part of a full game. Very impressive polish for a game jam game. Would have loved to see multi directions and more songs if you got chance to develop it further.

Awesome work!

Developer

Thank you! Haha the eel is very difficult, only the rhythm mapper on our team can currently can beat it. By multi directions, do you mean where you have to hit two different directions on the same beat?

Submitted(+1)

Yeah sorry i meant two different directions at the same time.
Not sure why I'm saying to add a mechanic that will make it harder when I couldn't beat it as is though!  Once again great job, had another attempt today

Absolutely loved this game, the shiny eel took me like fifteen tries because I kept getting left and right backwards at that speed lol

Submitted(+1)

this was very polished, not really sure how it fits the theme? but its a pretty fun none the less, great work

Submitted(+1)

The first first I tried felt like Through the Fire and the Flames on a dance mat, a slightly slower ramp up in the difficulty would be nice :P For the couple I managed to catch it felt good though, and the visuals are lovely!

Never tought Guitar Hero could be mixed with Fishing but it is and it feels great!
Great job, great mood :)

A small but polished little game with great music. Maybe the first fish you find should always be the easy one - I  happened to start with the eel which I obviously failed and I was a little sad.

Developer

That's a great idea! Will definitely update to do that when the game jam is over

General Feedback: Great style (I especially like the 3d model in pixel style!), great sounds and clear, satisfying gameplay!


Indept thoughts/feedback: It's a really cute game, currently feels like a nice mini game that you would play in this larger fishing based exploration game. One thing that stuck out was the difficulty scaling. I was getting used to the mechanics and got a hang of it and then I played a song that was at least twice as fast destroying me. It would be nice for some sort warning to what you are getting into so you can practice a bit more with easier songs. And a tiny thing that hampered my experience a little bit was the fishing line, although you could easily see the arrow it did distract me a little bit, so maybe it could be reversed? Fish at the bottom, boat pulling upwards.

All in all I think there really is something here, especially as a game within a game (gwent style) which players put way too much time into. Some slides, extra mecanics and you got something cooking :)

Hope you enjoyed the jam!

Developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Yeah haha, we're planning to do a little work on difficulty scaling in the future. Totally see what you mean about the fishing line, might add a setting to hide it. :)
