Super fun - Couldn't figure out how to refuel so got stuck a few times, but enjoyable to chase the fishes round all the same, and wasn't sure what to shoot my rockets at but of course i shot them anyway - some music/sfx will help with the aesthetic but a v cool idea

Oh my god FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH

It has an alright concept! There's definitely more to explore if you ever choose to expand on these mechanics - maybe unlocking new, more valuable fish types the more you power up your torpedo, or accessing new upgrades?

Good work!

Cute little game. Some music and sound effects would go a long way to make it feel even cuter. 

Good luck with a super edition if you go that route.

This was a really really fun concept! I sadly yeeted my rod wayyyyy into oblivion after maxing everything out, so I never finished, but man, I had a blast the entire time once I figured out the game flow. 

This is a really fun concept at its core and I think you really scratched an itch for an engaging gameplay loop. Great work!

Super fun and cute idea, I couldn't figure out how to refuel or sell my fishies, but I still had so much fun every restart trying to see how I could maximize my fuel to catch as  many fish I could get. Great Entry!

This was a surprisingly delightful little game, and an interesting take on the genre! While the art is definitely unpolished, it has a ton of charm. And the simple gameplay loop of catching fish and upgrading the boat is very compelling. I would definitely focus on adding sounds and more player feedback in your next wave of polish, as it would go a long way towards making the player feel satisfied with their actions. But overall, this is a great start, and I would love to see what it becomes with more time!

I love fishing so it was interesting to see how you interepted it. Lack of effects made it a little hard to recognize when I was doing something right or not. If you added a splash sound, a casting sound, and a atmospheric track that feels a "bubbly" but also mute, it would be a huge step up in qualilty without even making changes to your art.

There is a softlock I encountered where after obtaining max casting range, I cast completely off the map. It was funny and luckily happened after I played the majority of it (all upgrades collected and purchased).

Just a fun little game. Congrats!
