It's okay—fun at first, but less fun the better you do. I made it to Day 102 before some kind of bug killed the game, leaving me unable to place the piece I held (or see the expected fish yields). I don't know if this would help you find the bug, but my daily income was listed as -1 for some reason even though I'd been making somewhere around a hundred net fish per day on the days before this.
(Wish I'd thought to take a screenshot.)
Specific criticisms:
Anyways, it's solid for a jam game, and you're probably not updating at this point, but I figured I'd give you feedback anyhow.
Wow! Thank you so much, I suppose it took you a good couple minutes to write this, which makes me impressed. You made the points well explained and clear :) I knew about couple of them very well, but some gives me more to think of :D
I'll try address some issues you mentioned :)
1. Talking about endgame; yes... it's bad, or it doesn't even exist. At all time making this game I was certain that anyone will last playing max 5 minutes, and won't (as it turned out after releasing it) beat my own highscores :D So I admit, the endgame exists ONLY when you lose, there's nothing else prepared.
2. The 'fishing bank' you mentioned is probably very confusing and especially when your income is eg. -10 fish, many people are confused if they're doing good or not. Getting rid of the fishing bank completely is probably the best idea I haven't thought of, or I thought this will be the highscore?
3. Drag and drop being how it is and pieces spawning on the map not outside - all I can say, is that was my first game jam, and as always I probably have focused more on the game's look :)
Once again big thanks! As you said, I'm probably not going to update it, but your criticism might have given me a better understanding from a player's perspective :)
2. Maybe total fish caught could be a "high score"?
3. Yeah, jam games are inherently going to have issues that are glaring once you have more than a couple days to think about them. Such is the nature of the beast.
Awesome! Think I made it to day 40 something and then went bankrupt haha
Thanks :)
A bit hard to understand at first, but that was really fun !
I like the feedbacks, and I love the art !
Thank you :D
N E A T
:D
Very neat to have the tutorial always ready for anyone who wants to reference it. The graphics were really great and simple and the sound effects were cute. I got parts without fisherman a little too many times though XD. None the less, the game is really polished. Great job man :)
Thank you!
I know; having a fisherman on an element is random so sometimes you can be unlucky :D
Fun game and I liked the mechanics. I just couldn't tell if I was winning or not. Still had loads of fun with it though. Great work.
Thanks :)
Wow incredible ! That is a very well polished game for 1 person ! Everything looks great and the gameplay is cool :D
The only thing that bothered me a bit is that the snap won't allow you to place a piece exactly where you want, like it's stuck when there's a lot of things around ^^
But overall the game is incredible, very nice work here, good job ! :D
Thank you so much :)
I should make a better indication for cases when you can't place an element in given position, because currently it can be a bit confusing :P
I cant believe only 1 person made this!! awesome bro!
Thank you :3
Oh man! I really want to play this! Any way you can make it available on a Mac OS?
Hmm, I will try to build it for MacOS :
Ok, I built it haha. Hope it works :)
Woo, I'll be checking it out first thing in the morning! Stoked!! and thank you!
OK, I downloaded the file but there's nothing to click on that starts the gameplay. :(
My friend with MacOS also had problems :/
I rebuilt the MacOS version and uploaded it again, you can try with the new one, but if this doesn't work, then I can't help unfortunately :c
Very cool game, Visuals are really good. I don't know if it's completly random, but sometimes it seems like i'm only getting parts without fishermen.
Thanks :)
Emm, yeah it is random haha You have a chance of getting a fisherman, canteen or nothing. At the end it's probably not the best solution, because sometimes you can be really lucky or unlucky :P
Nice game, art is really cool, i think adding some kind of background music or ambient sound would make the game better. But overall pretty interesting game and mix of genres.
Thank you ^.^
I've done it untill day 128
At this point it became really hard cause no space
hahahahah
This is a nice game :D On thing that could be change is to make the tiles appear in another menu. Because at the end of the game you have them spawning on each other, I had a -12 fisherman lol
Well done man !!!
Thank you :)
I really had no idea where to put those new tiles, I thought about appearing in another menu, but I had no idea back then how to make it well, mostly because of my drag n drop mechanics :P
Incredibly cute! Reminds me a bit of Tiny Islands! Very nice look and it sounds great, a relaxing play for in between :) Thank you for making this!
Thank you for playing and good words :)
I literally couldn't stop playing this game. When I saw that one Person made it to day 111 and another to 120 I HAD to beat that highscore... and well, I played to day 137 :D awesome game!
No way haha, I was becoming a bit jealous of those high scores, so I played the game yesterday and got 127th day, and thought: "Ha, now I'm the best :P"
And now I know, that the game creator itself can't be the best at his own game :D
Anyway, I'm so glad to hear that <3
Really cool game! I loved this one, I can see it being something I spend hours on my phone on public transport or something :D
The puzzle is easy to learn and hard to master, very engaging!
The art is charming and the sound pops really well :D good job!
Thank you :D
You're right, it could be cool to play it on mobile :)
Perfect 10/10! Sound design is so satisfaying, The art is just crazy, I love the art style! The gameplay is working very well! Great job!
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that :)
Thank you so much ^.^
