There's no real incentive to make any noise for the player to actually trigger the monsters to come. If they actually swam around under your boat I'd at least feel some kind of tension. If there were jumpscares or audio scares, maybe the player might scream? The only category of players actually affected by this mechanic, if we ignore hardware limitations, would be people talking over the game, so not your average player. It would also be nice for it to clarify that it's actual user volume and not in-game volume because I thought at first that the noise level was based on the fish-catching noise and not me making noise, so I sat there thinking "why is nothing happening besides fish". Funnily enough, my earbuds' mic is broken so I had to plug in my actual mic for this to actually view the game over screen by pspspspsps-ing the spooky fish for an extended period of time like it was a cat. I think it was worth it- the monster fish designs are nice. Overall, the concept's there, just not very well executed.

I agree with all the comments below. The game depends too much on the quality of the microphone. My microphone doesn't have a built-in noise canceller and it has strong background noises, so I can't fully appreciate the gameplay, but the game looks very stylish and the music is pleasant. Thank you for creating this game. Good luck with your next jams

The fact that it appears to use your microphone without any option to configure that in the game (to, for example, tell it that a base level of noise that keeps setting it off is just the computer fan) makes it nearly impossible to actually progress without automatically getting a game over. There also seems to be no reason to not just wait for a bunch of fish to pile up around the lure and catch them all at once, as they don't seem to leave or despawn over time. Overall a neat concept, but difficult to play in the current state.

i think you're idea is good but the delevery is not proper. i could'nt understand the game at all
