"We'll catch him one day, I know it." The twist was hilarious, I love it, poor Bob though.
This game made me feel dumb, as I spent one hour randomly dying from reeling-in when going further with no idea of how I was dying as I missed the mechanic and then another 30 minutes to realise I could attack from afar and did not had to wait for the fish to be stuck to the hook and release it.
Honestly this could be a NES cartridge almost as is, and I mean including the structure and the length, if anything it would probably have been made harder and longer but not certainly for the best. The game is great, gameplay's unique while everything about it totally feels NES-like and so do the visuals and soundtrack, I specially like the tune from the first area. The controls and speeds feel perfect in the context, there are plenty of cool sequences and the length and difficulty of the game are perfect, there's no dead time so it's engaging to play again to get further and it's hard enough that it's satisfying to eventually beat the game.
