Fun game!  Love the pun.  Nice upgrade system.  Good use of theme.  Took me a minute to realize I couldn't catch fish on the way up.  Also had occ fish disappear when the hook hit them.

The art is very pretty! I really liked the gameloop, it is a nice game to chill back and relax to. I think it has a lot of petential post-jam both in the art and the mechaincs

lovely art, as may have been pointed out ineluctably cozy.

This game is incredibly cozy and feels like the perfect comfort food! I loved the engaging gameplay loop, and the storm adding more fish was a clever design choice. However, introducing some consequences for getting hit by lightning could amp up the stakes and enhance the experience. Overall, great submission!

As other comments mention, this game is super cozy. It feels like game comfort food right off the bat, and has a game loop that immediately reminded me of browser classics (shopping cart hero, motherload, etc.).

It seemed to me like more fish (and higher tier fish) came out during the storm, which was also a fun design decision for less cozy playthroughs.

Really fun submission! Great job.

Swedish Fishes

1. I think I played this game for more than 30 minutes

2. the game is slow but engaging,  lot of fun and very soothing to play after a long day at work

3. the graphics are steller, they are simple but convey a lot of meeting, the sound is good, the song good and calming but become  monotonous after playing for so long

4. at first it's a struggle to catch yellow fish, as you progress however and want to go deeper you actually need to actively AVOID yellow fish as well as greys and pinks. This is a ton of fun how quickly it switches from wanting one fish to avoiding it competely after you upgrade. I think I caught more yellow fish when I was trying to avoid them then I did when I was actually trying to catch them

5. As the storm draws in you get an early chance to catch greys and pinks, this is a cool trade off for staying longer to get these fish. However there is no real punishment in the game, getting hit by lightning even with no health upgrades doesnt do much and damage is not permanent either, I think having the player pay to repair might add an extra dimension of risk/reward this game needs, right now theres only reward, little risk

6. I was so excited to see the big orange fish at the bottom, it felt worth it to finally get there. However with these fish I often encountered a bug , I would try to catch them and it would just disappear off my hook and my fish storage didnt increase so i know it wasnt caught, is there a catching mechanic i wasnt aware of to keep them on the hook? do i need to press a button ? other fish sometimes disappeared from my hook too, but it really stung when it was a lvoely big orange one!

7. I was even MORE excited when I saw Marlins at the bottom, I tried for 10 minutes to catch one, but I could, its very difficult, you need to be able to go straight down with your hook without any deviation. The best time to do it is first cast of the day when theres no other fish in the sea, if you miss its just too difficult on any other cast to get down there. At the end I never did catch one...so sad

Great game, I gave it high marks, keep jamming

Such a quaint little game, lots of fun, artstyle is absolutely adorable.

A really fun game, I maxed out all my upgrades.

Great job!

Nice and cozy game! I love how the game looks and feels. Sometimes the fish just vanished from the hook for some reasons. Also, in my first play I was not paying attention to the health and got game over in my first sail :D

But other than that I enjoyed the game! Well done!

Art style is really nice. All came together really well.

Very cool and cute game
Noticed minor sfx bugs
Good job!

Very fun game loop. Loved the art style. I will catch a swordfish.

Omg such a fun a game, I feel like I could play this for hours! Really cool way to reward patience in the player, there's still lots to do while you're waiting for the storm but you're rewarded for not filling up straight away. Love the art style, awesome graphics, simple but effective gameplay loop, and great use of the theme!

Loved the cozy art! Gameplay fit the theme really well and I really enjoyed going for the elusive swordfish. Keep up the good work!!

I loved the art of the game. It's a little hard to know how much you can extend the rod line, but with time you can get the hang of it while enjoying the calm fishing until the storm arrives.

Very cool loop with stunning art!

It's a bit annoying to cast the line and just not have any fish in time for it to come back, or not know how much time you have left. But other than that, it's a great, solid game.

The art is so cute! Watching the storm progressively come in was cool, this game fits the theme really well! I struggled a lot with the fishing mechanic at first and sometimes wished the line had a little 'give'. Amazing submission, had tons of fun!

Hee-ho. Nice game. Hard to catch fish (as in real life)

Loved the visuals!
