Very nice polish to the game, everything works as intended. Seems like there is a significant luck factor to the gameplay as you gotta stumble upon the right fish, but at the same time that is part of what makes the game fun. The items you can pick up all have a purpose and build on top of that fun. To make the gameplay more challenging, maybe there could be dangerous fish that the player has to avoid? Or maybe the player could pick up items (traps) that you can use to fend off the dangerous fish for bonus points. Oh and art and music complement the gameplay very well, great work!

That's one of the most original games from the jam to me!
One thing to improve: Camera could be de zoomed a bit since it's hard to find the asked fish.
The controls feel good and it's playable by 2 persons, pretty cool!
How is it that when I need to catch a specific fish it's always difficult to find this one? :D
I really like the art and the vibe. Characters looks like taken from an old comic book, the music is like the radio tune from chill vacations near the lake in early 2000s. Just... love it <3
The camera could cover more area, it's really difficult to navigate with such small field of view. The water could use some texture because sometimes I don't even know if I move or not.
Pretty relaxing experience :)
The reflection of the Charackters are super cool it looks very polished. The Controls are great too and I like the little animation in the main menue.
I liked the art and the idea was cool that if you dont catch a specific fish in time you lose a heart
Nice job!
Really nice art and style, the music is really good, and the gameplay is really simple but very simple. It does get a bit repetitive but, is really fun nonetheless .
