I like the idea, but the execution is quite clumsy. After 15min of playing i could not figure out what determined the chop score. There's only a little Light going from yellow to red, it doesn't tell you if you've chopped too much or not enough or what so i never got to bring it up to green. There's also a few bugs and the controls are uncomfortable. You never need to use the two hands at once in the game, so having both instead of just a single one with both control schemes is pointless.

Hey thanks for such a detailed comment.
For the chop score, it is based on trying to save as much of the meat as possible - so you want the head and the tail off, but all of the body intact. Generally this will be just behind the gill line, and just where the tail starts. The light is also based on your descaling, i believe, so if you had any scales left, or took off too much and the skin wore through, that would make it hard to get that green! In the future I think i wanna shoot for an interactive tutorial, which should help alleviate that sort of confusion.
The two hands are a bit redundant! I personally play with one when i play, but some people really liked the feeling of holding down the fish and using both hands in that way.
its our first official game jam, so we are just happy to be here :)
Thanks again for playing our game and thanks for your feedback!!
