Omg this is so relaxing! Well done. You could spend hours in this one. ^^ Some of the sprites seem a little stretched. Also: This could easily be a mobile game. Would look great on a phone! :)

Nice and relaxing game :)
Great one, it makes an actual boring activity like fishing very fun :D
I really enjoyed this game! The music was very calming and the subtle transition from the surface to underwater was very smooth. The hitboxes on the fish were a little small but that's just my opinion. Overall excellent entry to the jam! You should be very proud :D
Thanks, I was indeed proud of this lol, It's my first game jam after all.
As for hitboxes, I make them the same size as the fish's 'head' lol.
This was the most fun game jam game if you polish it a bit more and release it on the play store it would do really good :)
Really appreciate it. And i do have a plan to release it on playstore and app store lol, hence mobile resolution :3
This was a fun game I enjoyed it and got to 20 metres and caught a few jellies, after that it got quite hard but was still very peaceful and enjoyable!
My favourite on all game jams I participated. I came because I saw "first jam" post, next I know I have 33 m long rope witch can cary 22 fishs and other creatures. I never felt this imspresion of complete game in jams, and I am blown away. First jam or not, dos not matter. This is production ready, interesting and addictive game. I hope you will get to this more, because you are great at this, and I really mean that!
Woah such kind and uplifting words. Thank you so much. You really made my day :)
Nice game. Music is relaxing, though a tad bit loud.
The game is very relaxing and helps alleviate stress. ^^ Magnificent. ✌️😇
The game is really nice and relaxing.
The game is really nice. The only criticism I would have is that the music is WAY too loud.
Yeah, I was thinking the same way back then, but I thought it sounded fine because the sound effects were still loud and clear. Thanks for ur criticism :).
Very Relaxing. I love how your line snaps if you get too greedy. They buying system is very clean as well. I was delighted when I found out I could grab more than one fish, only to be devastated when the line snapped! Great game!
