just gonna paste the notes i made while playing!
- really cute, relaxing, fun - music is a really nice touch and simplistic enough that i never got sick of it
- would be nice to put a bit more juice or strategy into fishing - maybe the better i do the bigger fish i catch, so i have some level of choice over what size i get, but ive got limited bait so i cant just pick little ones forever?
- feels like the game spends a little too long in the first layer - its a little too familiar
- really liked the weirdness of the platform challenge i found myself inadvertently planning, building myself into corners with weird fish
- i dont rly like how the tetris blocks can stick on the sides of the tower
- love the art and presentation of this, and how the weird blocks are designed to link into eachother
- really enjoyed anticipating what the next wave of even weirder fish would be
- sadly i found it pretty easy to softlock myself - ik theres meant to be a way to undo mistakes but i couldnt remember it during gameplay and there wasnt any reminders of it? i figured out it was z eventually haha
- really appreciated how puzzly it got later on to plan out a route upwards
- i think it would have been nice for the fish choices to come in a specific order, so that if i undo'd id still have to deal with the same blocks, just in a different way, and i cant just continually reroll for what i need
- i also think there being some check to prevent repeatedly getting the same blocks would be nice
- the camera slowly zooming out felt really helpful as i moved upwards - but i think you could have done it more! i found myself running out of screenspace a bit later on
- favourite moment - just about perfectly positioning an angler fish's lightbulb to get me out of a pit
- theres a little bit of getting over it in here which i liked
- i enjoyed how old fish that were annoying when you first discovered them would come back later and be super helpful
- LOVED that the camera zoomed all the way down at the end - that was something id written in my notes as a suggestion! was rly nice to see the full journey like that
- this rly felt like a proper adventure game while staying simple... rly nice work
