The game was nice to play. The idea is good. I liked the art style as well. Music/SFX is nice, but I think it was too loud. I see a growth potential here. You could add some more fish/boat types, and fishing nets (?). Also, I thought I'll be able to catch bigger fish to scale. Well done!
Very cool, good spooky atmosphere, simple and effective design making for a cool complete gameloop :) Well done!!
Holy Mackrel this is one cool game!
Its giving very dredge with the spooky vibes.
I love what you did with the big fish!
The whole thing was super polished and well done. The visual were really pretty.
My only feedback is that I think it would be better if after you had successfully caught a fish, your fishing line was automatically pulled back.
fantastic work!
I love the idea and the style, also something unnerving about the huge fish lurking underneath. I just don't understand how to skip the bigger fish following me? no matter how fast I go they keep chasing me.
Thank you for providing feedback!
There is currently only two ways to get away from a boat-sized fish the player has to either swim far enough away or dodge 3 of it's attack for it to get bored and give up. We're looking to add new ways of interacting with it after the jam.
If you're talking about the giant fish it's indeed impossible to swim away from it, but must of the time it is benefitial to let it attack and eat you - this doen't do damage to you (at least it's not intendent - there is currently a bug when you can hit a rock if you're close to it, when the giant fish attacks) and you can catch more expensive fish inside.
Again thank you for playing!
Actually a pretty fun fishing minigame. Really cool art on the whale and charming art for most everything. Good music implementation from DeerBoy1940, adding that additional layer in the whale is a nice touch. Good job to the whole team.
Nice game! All of the art is really well done. It was a bit confusing to me what to do at first, and the game does tend to be a bit unforgiving. I also wish that the boat controlled a tad less slippery.
i love how the style makes this game scary to play! a lot of the paint blotches in the water + low lighting had me thinking there was a huge fish in the water haha
The huge and tiny contrast, concept of scale with uncommon form, love that.
Loved the visuals! Sailing around in that foggy atmosphere and searching for fish feels great, and the fear of being eaten by the giant fish adds to it really well!
Thanks for playing!
Giant fish might be scary but they are actually somewhat on the player side as they allow you to catch more expensive fish inside. It's the average-size fishes you should be scared of (those are evil).
