Took me a while to figure out all the mechanics. Once i understood everything i had already bought all the items.  The little green things i thought were powerups, later i realized they are supposed to be plants under the water. But I think the gameplay is really good! You innovated on the fishing genre! Nice job!

This is such a fun and unique concept! I love that you’ve incorporated a shop—it adds an extra layer of depth to the gameplay. This game has great potential, and there’s plenty of room to expand and build on it even further!

Great job!

This is a super nice take on the theme! I would have never thought of a game where you controlled a fishing rod and the fish you bait with it. The game is relaxing and easy to pick up, and the art style is nice too. Good job!

This was a fun relaxing lil game! I really like the art and atmosphere. I think there's potential in this idea.

Part of me wonders if you should have some kinda katamari demacy mechanics where as you eat fish your current fish gets bigger and bigger and can eventually eat fish that were previously too big.

Also, Is it possible to see the shark? I was playing for a bit and got all the upgrades but the shork never showed.

Cute lil game, nice job!

I like it a lot. Super nice art and satisfying fishing. Needs more Hats in Shop! Bought Canibal first.

Really good work! Nice concept with a lot of room for further improvement (like more upgrades, different levels and other kind of bigger fish). It was very fun to play and easy to learn. Could use some music, but I get that time was short. Also nice visual style! I liked the water texture.
