Lovely game, the graphics are very nice and having both the jump&run and the fishing part was entertaining. Thanks for a joyful time.

I got this error when I tried to run the .love archive with love 11.4

The web version ran pretty slow for me so I was hoping to try native.
I'm a sucker for a fishing mini game! This one had good depth to it, no pun intended, though it took a bit of time to understand. Loved the graphics and characters. The timing on the double jumps felt more difficult than it should be. I had to retry the first double jump many times. Props for doing all the work to put a dialog system into a jam game. Well done!!
The art and lightning look really cool, and I loved the story as well :)
I was confused by the fishing minigame at first, but in the end I understood its mechanics (and started fishing in the air).
It is a very enjoyable game!
I loved the atmosphere, and the little exploration you had to do to get to the right ponds. I did manage to finish it, and I like how the storytelling complements the cozy bot a little lonely aesthetic.
