Rating: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜† (Three Tipsy Stars)

Ahoy there, me hearties! 'Tis Bob, the not-so-slick sailor, back to spin a tale about the curious game, "Alure" or "Luck and Lure." Now, let me be clear, me mates, this game has some real treasures, but it's as swift as a sea breeze on a hot day!

The pixel art in "Alure" is like a sunken treasure โ€“ a sight to behold with a solid 10/10 rating! The attention to detail had me starin' in wonder, much like when I discovered a hidden cove filled with long-lost relics.

But, me hearties, brace yerselves for the real catch โ€“ the actual gameplay. Aye, 'tis as brief as me attempt to impress me ex-wife with a bouquet of seaweed! It took me no more than 30 seconds to catch all four bass, and I must admit, I thought me ex would come runnin' back like a siren's call!

In "Alure," ye play as fish bait helpin' yer fisherman catch bass โ€“ now that's a real twist! But just like me failed attempts to impress me ex with grand gestures, the gameplay leaves ye wantin' for more.

Now, let's get to the hilarious encounter I had with a group of pirates on the shore! As I approached, an inner voice urged caution โ€“ somethin' about me past expertise with pirates and cunning rascals! Har, har!

"Aye, Bob," says the voice, "ye've been through it all before. Keep yer wits about ye!"

Now, I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of me past escapades, like the time I outwitted a notorious pirate captain and slipped away with his treasure map right under his nose. But what kind of trouble had I gotten meself into now?

In conclusion, "Alure" is like a sparkling pearl in the vast ocean of games, with its marvelous pixel art. But beware, me hearties, the gameplay might be over before ye know it โ€“ just like the fleeting allure of me grand gestures to win back me ex-wife!

So, set sail on this pixelated adventure, but don't expect a lengthy voyage. Instead, let the charm of "Alure" lure ye in like a siren's song and enjoy the quick and quirky ride of bein' fish bait to catch bass! Fair winds and short yet entertaining escapades to ye all!

The style is cute! Do you have the rest of the fish sprites somewhere stored?

If you would like to see them I've attached them below. After the judging time is up we plan to release the full game if you'd like to see them animated and in action.
