Yes we’ve work all the week into this little game. That’s starting by the silly idea of fishing with dynamite and add a lot of thing of modern mobile game into this “nokia 3310” prototype.
We’ve already experiment the low rez jam with shynif and we’ve experience in low resolution game, that help to fit all these things in the small screen of the 3310 !
Like you say, a boss or random event in the sea, or narrative story and quest may make the game better, but we had try to made the game with less element possible, and the time was limited !
The collection aspect was an option at the beginning, if we had time ! I made the different sprites of the fish in less that 1 hours and put into the menu and that work !
For the golden fish, there is in a far area you need to up the engine of the boat to access it !
Thanks for your detailled review ! We enjoy you have appreciated your little game !
