This was really really fun… Tough was actually the easiest difficulty for me since it had just the right speed…. the easiest one was a bit too slow to get enough points quickly enough before I lost concentration and got hit by rocks :D

The mechanic is really unique and fun and graphics/sound also fit well!

Very nice! :D

Definitely a fun and relaxing game. I like the sound effects and the different colors. However, I think the background is a bit too noisy. Also there is not much contrast between the red fish and the background of the hell difficulty. This makes it sometimes difficult to see the red fish.

I think also some more variety would work well. For instance, you could add wooden boards or something that swims around and blocks the antenna when hit. That way, you carefully need to navigate around those obstacles.

Thanks for playing! The background was meant to give some sort of "dreamy" feeling to the game while also giving the feeling of variety, therefore the noise to it. And I tried to keep it simple, not adding too many obstacles, because in Hell difficulty it's already demanding a lot more focus on the game than on the Relax difficulty, and I think that's fine. But yeah, if I were to add a Very Hard/Insane mode, that new obstacle would work well.

What a relaxing fishing experience! Great music and strangely addictive gameplay. Great job!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! This time I've tried to keep it simple and a bit more complex than my last Lowrez Jam game.

That is amazing! Me and my teammate came up with something like that during the brainstorming session, but I'm glad we didn't make the same games XD. Overall, I enjoyed the game, since, it's the same type of game as our game, but I really like some of the little things you did, like info about score points of the fish, or sound effects for different combo chain. It's a great game and I definitely want you to develop this game further!

Thanks for playing! After finishing the game I thought of later making a full game out of this character/mechanic but we'll see how it goes. Glad you enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah, I wanted to give some sort of "dreamy" feeling to the game, therefore the noise effect.
