This is brilliant! Difficult, but brilliant! I love the text popups for flipping.

Submitted

Neat idea for the game, although I was unsure how it related to the jam. I enjoyed trying to stay upright but struggled when trying to fish. The shop prices felt very high, but all in all an enjoyable game that had to playing more than I expected.

Backfliping a boat ? that's a big yes

Submitted

This would be quite fun to chill with on my phone! Fun vibes, nice work!

Submitted

I deeply wish that the safety zone was larger because I could only ever catch a single fish at a time at most. That's me saying I really enjoyed the game and wanted to engage in it a whole lot more. Well done! 

Submitted

genuinely very fun and hard, I could see this as an arcade machine in an arcade. quite fun

Submitted

I wanna catch all the fish!

This is probably the best game that I've played in this jam yet! This game feels amazing to play, and the mechanics are so fun that every time I died I immediately went for another round! Amazing job!

Submitted

Good fun! This is the type of jam game I like to see!
There are some obvious things that other folks have pointed out, but I think this fits the theme of the jam, and the spirit of jam games well.
Great job!

Great style and gameplay! My only critique really is that I think the upgrades should be easier to get. It takes just a bit too long to get a single upgrade. I would have liked to see all of the upgrades but I just didn't have time to play the game for long enough to get them.

Excellent entry overall though, really great work!

Controls are really finnicky, but I still had fun and it has a ton of potential!

Submitted

Cool game! It's fun when you get launched into space and do 20 flips before dying haha

Submitted

Really fun mechanic. It gets out of control super fast but I love the crazyness. Congrats!

Submitted

Lol, strange how this game is very quickly frustrating and still staying really fun to play! Could not reel any fish, neither buy anything in the shop (those prices... I imagine the fishes sell like hell but heh...) but I did soooooo many flips!

Love the art style, the physics are fun to play with but go too quickly in the crazy zone.

Submitted

Really cool, also really hard. Well done!

Submitted

This is a really cool fishing game! I love the water.

Not a master designer, but I really don't like the font :)

Also why did you put back to Main Menu in the middle of the screen after loosing? Especially when you have the Shop in it. Put Restart button at the middle in the focus of the player.
And it's way too hard to control the boat at start. Could really progress pass 9$ lol

Submitted

This was way too much fun, with a bit of work on the art this would be amazing!

Submitted

Really fun idea and I love the art, the boat in particular looks really cool.

Submitted

the design of this game is awesome. the game gets frustrating, but its still very fun. awesome job!
