Game Description
You play as a fisherman in an apocalyptic world that is about to end due to parasites found in fish.
How does your game tie into the theme?
Parasites are the main part of the game - they need to be thrown out of the fish, and the entire game story is based on them.

Visually this was great! Really liked the general concept.
It took me forever to figure out how to catch the fish and then just as long to figure out that I was supposed to remove the parasites from the fish. But once I got it it worked out pretty well. It didn’t seem like I could move the boat from the underwater view, which would have been nice.
Ultimately, this was a bit basic/repetitive in the end, but there’s a lot here that’s really cool, so I could see this becoming something really neat if you spend more time on it in the future.
Nice job!
Thank you for your honest review! Game definitely lacks some litl tutorial but oh well. Underwater camera part was intentional to not to turn the player into a submarine that is looking for the fish :)
Really interesting atmosphere and concept! I like the idea of the radio station slowly unfolding the story. I think the game could use a little more variety. Also a couple more sound effects could help. Good work!
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Congrats on your first GWJ! I did a fishing jam a few weeks ago and this would have fit right in. I love the visual style. Good work
Thank you very much, hope to participate in your jams in future!
