This is quite polished, with a lot of attention on the UI and tutorial. Nicely done with a bunch of systems working nicely together. Maybe one thing to improve would be to make the player character able to withstand some amount of contact with water. I tried walking into the lake and died immediately. =)

I don't really understand what the sound is supposed to tell me whenever I get close to a fishing zone. It seems like it's signaling I'm in the right place, but it sounds more like a warning sound telling me to stay away.

Really nice art, executes the idea quite well, though it definitely needs a Trigger warning for people with Arachnophobia, since it's not mentioned anywhere in the itch page

Nice Job, UI worked well, art style fitted the gameplay, everything was good till I made out the shadow of the spider under water! 

Good Submission

Developer

Excellent all around! Environment and atmosphere were great. I really like the cooling towers in the distance, adds a nice touch with people being so irrationally afraid of them. Why is it always spiders though.... lol Not a fan of spiders.

SPOILER:

STOP READING SPOILER AHEAD:

The ending was totally expected but still got me. Something you could have done that would have been similarly great is to have one last return to the dock, but this time the spider under the dock moves on top and when the player turns towards the noise, it JUMPS at them.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Really nice suggestion, I think I'll add it in the next updates

The visual style of everything is very consistent and I like it a lot, overall I enjoyed the game, could definitely be expanded to a full release. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks! Did you manage to finish the game?

Hey guys don't know what I'm doing wrong but cant extract this game. keep getting an error message

Developer

What does the error say? 

Submitted

I think it was unable to extract the zip for some reason. Looked it up and said the file could be corrupted, but then I saw other people had played it so I was stumped. Really wanted to try all the games. I’ll try again and let you know.

I'm having the same issue, unfortunately.

Just found a workaround.

Open the zip (not extract) and copy everything, then paste it outside. It will error on the "something DEBUG something Database", just skip it!

This was really well made. The tutorial was really well done and I liked the vibe of it a lot. I will say the spiders spooked me quite a bit.

Developer

Thank you! Which spider scared you the most? 

Submitted(+1)

I had a lot of fun with this, at least 30 min! I like the style a lot. However a Trigger warning would be nice, thats what i thought when i was catching my first "fish" ^^. I was sad that the "Big Thing" (no Spoilers) didnt do much. Overall Good Work! (One Bug -> When you open Shop window and hit PAUSE and go back from Pause its bugged)

Developer

Hi, thanks for your kind comment! What do you mean with trigger warning and "didn't do much"? You thought that it would attack you? Thank you for playing, happy you liked it

Submitted(+1)

SPOILER:

I just hate Spiders ^^ And yeah it would be more pleasing (in my opinion) when The Big Spider do something when you be near it. Like come out of Water to attack you or whatever. But Overall Great Game 👍

This is my favourite one thus far!

Eerie, creepy night fishing... what more could you ask for?  :)

Thank you so much! That's really nice to know
