damn, people were really complaining about the minimum pipe-distances?! smh!!

Yes there is! There's a 1/25 chance for a Solar Fish to be a variant.

There is a tackle at the end of the game that will make variants much easier to catch (it should make it a 1/6 chance).

I hope you find it soon! Sorry that it's taken so long.

No concrete plans yet, but we are considering possibly polishing the game up a bit and expanding on the game mechanics! (No promises though!)

No worries at all!

This is a very kind review, thank you so much for taking the time to play and review our game!! 💚

Thank you!! I hope you had fun!

Not sure! We've discussed possibly polishing it up a bit post-jam though!

This is one of the games that I played in 2024, nice work!

Such a cute game, and I love the frog theming, and the pun title 🐸💚

The accelerometer controls work beautifully, and I hope more games try that type of control for cursors. It works so well, and kind of reminds me of Wii remotes in a way haha

Very charming game!!!

Thanks! Good to know on the intro music! Music is a weak point for me, as you could tell, so I threw that together in about an hour. I personally like how it sounds, but if I ever release a full version, perhaps I should find a composer to make a better track!

Thank you!! 💚

Good point on the controls - they aren't very clear. I will look into adding some more button prompts!

Wow this is a super super kind comment, thank you so much. I'm so glad you loved it!! I hope to refine it some more after the jam ends, adding some stuff, tweaking the difficulty, etc. It was a lot of fun to make, and I want to give it one final coat of paint.

Thanks for the kind words, and the doodles (I hope you were lucky enough to see them pop up in game!) 💚

Hahaha, thank you!!! Hopefully this game didn't jumble your brain too badly lol

And best of luck on your finals!! 💚

Thank you so much!! 💚 

I think I spent half of my time polishing it as much as I could haha

And you're right, this does have some Brain Age vibes to it!

No worries 💚

hahahahaha thank you rae! 💚

thank you for the kind words, I mean. I'll be sending you the bill for the scantron repairs

Yuu!

THE LOBSTER IS INCREDIBLE

I love it. The artwork, the gameplay, and the music are really great!! I think I got the good ending (I think.. at least!).  Also that logo is fantastic. SSSS-tier

I'm going to go try and find this lobster now

Super cute and fun game!! Reminds me of Mad Libs, and I had a really nice time creating forgetful sentences with it 💚

I remembered my fun times while playing at the FORGOT SOMETHING

I had a lot of fun wandering around, and had a few laughs at the jokes! Also, OliveLlama's music was awesome! I appreciate the link being included, even if the music didn't make it into the game.

(Also, just want to throw it out there that RPGs are perfectly okay for jams!!)

Haha perfect!! That's the vibe I was going for!

I will definitely revisit balancing if/when I update this post-jam!

And I wouldn't consider that cheating! I think that could be a really fun way to play! 💚

keen as ketchup!

Hello!! Yes, there are as many fruit as fish in veggie mode.

Just a heads-up, you may still see references to fish in the dialogue, and the shopkeeper gives you the nickname "Fish Hunter". And also the final boss is a fish.

For the main gameplay, you will see fruits/veggies that replace the fish, and they'll even fill out in your journal as you catch them. Each fish has a fruit/veggie counterpart :)

I hope this answers your question! Let me know if you have any more questions! 💚

Sounds like you have the right spot! When you input the code, you'll hear a little sound play, but you won't see anything.

After you input the code, try checking your inventory.

I'm glad to hear!! 💚

And yes! Try to remember a location that looks similar to the doodle surrounding the code.

Lmk if you need a bigger hint

No cod-plaints here! I'm hooked on it, and that's a fin-tastic thing because I codn't think of a better way-ve to spend my day! This is reely the most reelistic and reelaxing fishing sim on Playdate! 💚

Ah good catch! Not sure how that happened haha

Should be fixed now, thanks for letting us know!

Agh, sorry about that! Yeah it would be super helpful if you could send the crash log to toadleyundercontrol@gmail.com

Always.

This is an unbelievably impressive game. I don't know any other Playdate games that have this many objects on screen that run as well as Angel Pop does.

Really love the art and music too. Feels really liminal and nostalgic, and having the music progress as you play is a very nice touch! (Hamburger song is the best haha)

Incredible work, Nnnn. You not only made an impressive game, but a super fun one too. Can't wait to see what things you make next 💚

Hope all goes well for you!!!! Thank you for playing!!

I hope to have the next update out sometime before Halloween!

It's possible I guess! They definitely aren't needed to get through the game though, so no worries.

Also assuming you're in The Reef, $150 is pretty good!! Try saving up for the next fishing line upgrade first. You'll find that it helps a ton with catching better fish 👀

Hello!! Hotspots should refresh every in-game day (around sunrise). Once you've fished at one, it'll disappear and you'll have to fish around at any spot on the water.

Wow, this update is a Hallowin in my books! This update truly makes this a game to die for! The cosmetics here really fit in with the webb and flow of the rest of the game, and it all comes together to form one big master(rest in)peace.

At $2, this game is an eerie-sistable addition to your Playdate library! It's the last game you'll ever need - the nail in the coffin of boredom if you will! So what are you waiting for?? Throw your mummy at this game, and get wrapped up in a fun time!

Fall can't come soon enough!!

You will need to sideload the file again, but your Playdate will recognize that there is an update!

De-fin-itely not de-fin-ative. Another update coming post-Catalog 👀🐟💙

Resonant Tale is incredible! It hasn't even been out for a week, and I think it's my most replayed non-arcade game on the Playdate.

So so so much care and detail went into it. Everything was so thoughtfully crafted, and the game feels so smooth to go through. I'm still learning new things about it.

So many tiny details that you'd miss on your first run, and so many secret shortcuts to find, that replaying the game feels really rewarding.

I also really love how combat isn't a priority in the gameplay. In these types of games, I much prefer exploring the world and solving puzzles, than having to fight monsters in my path. And the times there is combat, it's always an encounter that feels memorable.

S-tier game! Thank you Orkn, this game is amazing!

Wow. Hats off to you. Way to really put a cap on this game. These hats look absolutely fedorable, and looking at them makes me feel warm and fez-y.

I bought this game because it was buckets of fun, and I’d ad-visor that you all do the same!

No worries!! I’ll keep the updates going, I just don’t want them to become annoying is all haha

I really appreciate your comments!!
