You can also use <R> to reel your line, so I encourage you to give it another go if you'd like.
I didn't anticipate the screen scrolling when I implemented that feature. That was kind of silly of me. :P

Gave it another go! I am very dumb for missing that R works.
Really really awesome entry, the double loop is very satisfying catch the right bait to catch the require fish.
I loved the very minimal animation to the rod swing, it had alot of oomf and personality
Main thing I would have liked to see but is outside of the scope of the jam is some way to use the extra fish, maybe a shop of some sort. But thats unrealistic for a jam.
For a jam version tho I do wish there was more feedback/it was more clear when a fish was close enough, felt somewhat like guess work at times. That or a easier way to select caught bait, maybe have the menu be clickable so you can just click caught bait and it auto hooks it. Just a thought to smooth out the loop, just feels like the mouse could have done more.
But again, overall really fantastic game! clear and pretty visuals. Relaxing and fitting audio. And a fun game loop.
You nailed it!
Fantastic work
