This was beautiful, but I sadly can't play much of it. This game is polished like a granite floor at the Notre Dame, wonderful cheerful music, great artwork, shader work, and everything else one can think of, but I just can't play this game properly. I barely managed to get one fish unlocked, and yet the start rotation system just did not click for me. In addition, nothing in the game itself even lets you know what to do, so I had no idea that I had to look for star clusters in the first place, and I only found out about it at the game's page. Please, don't take this the wrong way, as I still love everything else about this game.

This game seems very inline with Outerwilds in all the best ways! Excellent music and sound design. I like the graphics a lot. Very relaxing to play. A true joy to just hang out in this atmosphere. You should be proud!
Wow, this is very unique. I adore the music and the visual style. I really like how solving a constellation kind of illustrates the space around it. I also love that you can see a fish approaching by its ripples, and all the stories in the journal. Beautiful and unique. The constellations are very hard. If you would continue development on this, it might be nice to have a gizmo so you can have more control over how you rotate. I'd also love if you could cast in more specific locations or have an indication (maybe faint shape or size) to see what fish is in each ripple. Very cool game.
This is a unique game concept and I like it. A little tutorial would have helped to get started with the game. Nonetheless, great work on this one.
If you wait to see a ripple, it means the fish is near that spot. If you click on the ripple, you should see a fly be cast, and a fishing line appear when it lands. The rod will flex when you get a bite, and clicking and dragging to the right will reel the fish towards the rod.
Clicking the water is a shortcut to equipping the rod, and clicking on the sky is a shortcut to unequipping the rod away. I think this needs to be added to the tutorial somewhere, I can see how it's confusing right now.
This seems really cool and I love the style but I'm a bit confused about the constellations bit. Its unfortunately preventing me from getting any further.
