I found that if i went reversed, the boat engine sound would no longer play. Thought i had no nets to cast, came back and read the info then just pressed f to cast and it started casting.
Had major fps issues, even after setting the graphics to low, tho its only when facing the water.
Cool mechanic tho.

I think the fishing mechanic is really original, but i did not completely understand it, the music is really good, the UI could be better, also I had some fps issues, but really liked the graphics of the game.
Great work! i like the mechanic and the look! i found a few bugs, but overall i like this :)
Good environment design. Liked the unique mechanic of driving the boat in a circle
I did have a few frame rate issues where the game would stutter as I was going in a circle so I couldn't close a few of the loops (just handled it by doing smaller loops instead)
Nice work overall though
Nice environment in the game, the music is relaxing, and the fishing is pretty simple.
Faced some problems with the fps consistently being below 30 (I guess) when the boat was facing the lake, when I turned the camera to the buildings it was getting back to the normal rate. But that can be polished with no problem. Overall good job! :D
I kept running out of net after casting once or twice, never catching enough fish to buy more. Not sure if I was just casting in the wrong places and never got lucky, or if I didn't understand how to properly catch fish.
I did have a lot of fun just cruising around and exploring, though.
I enjoyed this one a lot! There isn't much direction, but the actual fishing mechanic is interesting and i had fun with it. I got the 60 net upgrade and wrapped around the rock feature outside the harbor. Perhaps if you were to develop further, things like that could offer a special catch. I wasn't able to determine if there were any different fish from different areas. Admittedly, I eventually just sat right outside the harbor without any real reason to venture further away.
Excellent submission, i enjoyed it!
I Like the gameplay idea a lot! The Fishing net casting mechanic is very satisfying. Sadly the ship is very buggy and bounces random on the water what leads to countless game over screens. Graphics and Music fits the game. Also when you skip the collected Fish window too early you get only the money from the first fish.
