This is a really fun and addicting game. I only wish there was some kind of animation or delay when fish hit the side and turn around because I would accidentally catch them there pretty often. Besides that though I think it strikes a good balance of not too challenging but still engaging to play and the progression system is really clear and engaging.

Demo DwarvesWow, I found this by complete accident while looking through submissions and boy, am I happy for my good luck! It's no wonder this has gotten so popular. It's just so addicting and I personally love the music. I would gladly play this for so much longer than I should allow myself to! Good luck for the game jam. I feel like you can definitely get very far based off how good this game is!

Blue Sky, Ice WaterThis game was actually pretty fun and relaxing!
The art was simple, but clean and very appropriate for a mobile game. The sounds also complimented the art style perfectly, with both being kinda cartoony.
My only real critique is the fact that the music sounds kinda solemn and mournful. I know the music wasn't made by you and it wasn't actually too unfitting, but it still just felt slightly out of place.
Other than that, fun gameplay loop, clean art style, nice job!

Dream DiverPerfectly fits the theme. Cute graphics. Took me a bit to figure out A and D could move the fishhook (because the first time I tried it, there was no response? but then I saw the screenshots with the hook to the side, and figured there must be more to it! bug?) Great job.

evie and junoThanks for the response!
Afaik if you press full screen or other thing in the browser, the browser detects that you are not in the game anymore, so you can't press anything for the game (much like when you type a comment but suddenly press something outside of the comment box, you can't type anymore until you click the comment box again)
I was always very excited when I discoverd a new type of fish. The music was great not very fitting. And the gameplay was a bit frustrating.

Diving Deeperthe music is a bit loud, and the gameplay is a bit dull but really easy to add more if you had more time

Deep Sea DiveWhile the music was getting me emotional, sneakily, the game got me hooked

Deep TherapyIt is just very addicting. I got up to 10 fishes and 18 meters, and I was really surprised, when I saw new fish types for the first time. Art is nice, gameplay is chill but challenging at some point, when it comes to dodging fishes on way down, and doing same when rope limit is reached. Good Job! :)
