This is a really well done, if not a simple concept. Definitely a solid contender for the Art category.
I'd personally advise writing some code to prevent the final upgrades from being re-purchased though.
man i looove fishing!
this was a super fun game, cute art, had good playability, really smooth and a very cool take on blackjack :)
Interesting gameplay! Would like to see you develop it further.
Thank you. I am in fact working on a post-jam version.
YAY FISH!
I enjoyed this for how simple it was. Perfect amount of juice, really easy and simple. I wish I could have upgraded more.
I major thing the game was missing was a reason not to fold. You could fish once and fold and there was no repercussions. If there was a "haul to beat" it would be cool to bet against the system in that way. Like: "I only need one more dollar to beat the "haul to beat" and then I will" unlock the next thing, or get a bonus or something. Otherwise, I had a great time fishing <3
Thanks for playing!I think the "haul to beat" is quite a nice approach to add more risk and/or reward to the game. I'm excited to prototype this and see how it fits with the game
Really cool idea and well executed and a fun game play loop well done!
We really love this game! It's simple and addictive. Only 'issue' is that it feels like it becomes a bit too easy to take my money and run after we bought the first upgrade, perhaps adding some more risk would give it the edge it needs. Well done though!
Overall, a really simple but effective game! I think it hits the mark perfectly with the jam's theme and really gives the player that feeling of betting on their own luck. The animations feel nicely polished, too. If I had any feedback, it would be that the game’s feel could’ve been enhanced with some sound effects, like for the buttons or hitting a big catch!
But overall, awesome game – nicely done!
Thank you! Yeah game feel is definitely lacking. I am working on a post-jam version so hoping to improve on it
This felt like a really good concept, just needed some more risk to losing. Like I wouldn't be able to afford food or something, then starve. Cute art tho :)
Thanks for playing my game! Adding more risk to losing is a great idea. I was thinking the risk could be losing your equipment if your line breaks (Assuming that equipment could be purchased/equipped before each round). I'm sure yet, but I'll explore this a bit more.
This is nice, the aesthetics are simple but great. Wish the retry button after successfully fishing didn't reload the game, I would like to go back to fishing without having to go through the shop first especially if I just hauled up a bunch of old boots and kelp. But as far as blackjack goes, I definitely prefer fish over cards
