this game is so dogshit it didnt even fucking work
also fuck the dev he is holding me hostage
/jk bc the opps are after me
A lot of fun!! Great work.
I like the economy/progression system, the goofy humor, and the core gameplay was absolutely fantastic. It's so funny that the best way to fish in this game is to try to avoid using the rod. Hilarious, loved it. 5/5
Amazingly funny game! Love myself some coiners!
Also, is that the "And yet I fish" Fishing Hat?
fish rain :D such a nice game!
This is a fun little game! Its got a lot of personality; and even though the shop wasn't opening for me I still had enough fun messing around with it to last the whole time limit. No hat for John Junior this time

Ahoy, me hearties! 'Tis Bob, the tipsy sailor, here with a review that'll have ye chucklin' like a school of fish! Let me tell ya about the hilariously fun game, "Jon the Not So Fisherman."
In this comic escapade, ye find yerself helpin' Jon โ a fella not known for his fishin' skills โ in his quest to wack fish into comically sized buckets just to get his son a hat! Now, ain't that a fishy tale to tell?
From the get-go, "Jon the Not So Fisherman" had me in stitches. As I swung me wacky fishin' tool, I couldn't help but relate to Jon's struggles. Har, har! It's like me own misadventures at sea โ one moment battlin' monstrous waves, the next wrestlin' with me own tangled fishing line!
Aye, there be a few minor glitches, but they only added to the comedic charm of the game. I found meself laughin' like a loon as fish went flyin' every which way โ a sight funnier than a tipsy sailor tryin' to walk a straight line!
The quest for a hat might seem simple, but oh, what a journey it became! Every whack and swing had me feelin' like I was on a grand sea adventure โ a bit like me quest to find the legendary Kraken!
In the end, "Jon the Not So Fisherman" delivered a boatload of laughs and good times. The joy of helpin' Jon with his whimsical goal was a reminder that life's grandest moments are found in the simplest pleasures โ much like findin' a message in a bottle on a deserted island!
never change hoko, never change
This is a very charming game and my fav so far! I think it really puts a unique spin on a fishing type game and I really really like the detail of John Jrs face peeping up from the textbox and how the hat looks like that one "let any fish who meets my gaze..." long fish hat.
At first I was like wtf is this then I went thru the entire timer swinging
That game is fire!
this game IS NOTTTT!!! for the faint of heart!! GRUESOME VILE FISHING!!! JOHN DID NOT GET HIS BIRTHDAY HAT (I had fun such cool game 11/10) #blessed #happyfriday
This is so cool 10/10 game i didnt get john junior a hat on purpose
