I like the idea and visuals, however, at the beginning the game is quite brutal. I could spend a lot of time just sailing around either looking for a small fish, or run away from big ones. The minigame is quite good.
Well done!

Thank you for playing!
Initially we had some plans for giving the player a way to fight back against the medium fish using harpoon or hide away from it in the tall grass, but those ideas got cut due to the time limit. Right now it's possible to either swim away from the fish or make it attack you 3 times for it to get bored and let you go but we do think that the player should have more options to interact with aggressive fish.
The lack of small fish to catch is also a really common complaint so we will probably adjust the spawn rates or even change the way spawn system works in the future.
Again thank you for playing and providing feedback!
