ahahahah!! That's a really  cool interpretation of theme SPACE!! Making a game controlled only by button space is very original! Good job!

Really cute game! I was not expecting to fish a horse today by answering about timezones in Russia.

I really like the varied mini games, the fact that you added so many means that you can keep the fairly simple gameplay mechanic intact while still offering some challenge and diversity.

I also really liked the different items, and I liked that you chose other stuff than just fish. 

And especially the fact that you made a "collections" page for them! I was always a huge fan of collecting stuff, including bestiaries and fishes in any fishing mini game.

Finally, that's an... Interesting interpretation of the theme of "Space".

Some quick constructive criticism:

  • I feel like some of the minigames are a bit hard to understand the first time you see them, as they go quite fast. I could never get the "Jump" minigame for example, because I don't know what is exactly happening and when this space should be pressed.
  • There's a bit too much downtime between fishes. The game could be sped up a bit more, especially because getting the last ones take a long time.

Overall I really liked the game, great job!

Small but nicely done game. I liked different "themes" of collectibles.

I was thinking myself about treating the theme not literally (or maybe not using the first meaning that comes to mind), but ended up with spaceship etc. Well done!

The theme was space

In fact, the only control is space, it's a clever take on a otherwise boring theme

I didn't notice that! Now I get it! Amazing game btw!
