Aesthetically pleasant! Unfortunately the mechanics are a bit goofy. Looking forward for finished game!

The environment and characters look really really good. Also funny animations here and there, I love them! Fishing mechanic feels a bit off, but ima get back to this game when you finish it!

Aside from the fishing mechanic being broken, I really like the how the environment looks, the colors really compliment it.The fishing mechanic looks promising so I look forward to seeing how it looks when completed

Unfortunately couldn't really get fishing to work for more than a couple catches so ended up mostly just taking a stroll, i love the visuals and whole vibe! If this project continues past the jam i'll definetely keep an eye out :)

I really love the environment and feel overall so far. And while I seem to can't catch a fish most of the time during this very early version (it abruptly stops the mechanic for me) understandably so, I can't wait to play this to its full capacity and catch me that sea bass!!!!

Edit: Oh I forgot to mention, I loooove the fishing mechanic!!

Thank you so much!

And credit where credit is due: we were emulating the awesome fishing mechanic from Moonstone Island. They just recently released, so if you enjoyed it here, definitely check their game out!

Hello! Quick dev note: because this was such an ambitious project, we still have some bugs to squash! Give us a few days to iron out the kinks and we'll be sure to have you finishing the game in no time. Thank you for playing!
