Very cute and creative game. Loved the art. Catching fish is sometimes a little hard and borderline frustrating especially when all you really want to do is talk to the fish. Though that's simply a minor annoyance. Very cute game :)
nice idea about fishing ,It’s not easy to catch fish. and it's definitelya very cute game. I wish you success.
nice game lol good job
I got friendzoned, that was fun... (in all seriousness fun game!)
fun game, looks like a lot of great work went into making this game!
Very interesting and impressive dating game. I was shocked and overwhelmed when I saw fish expressing their love.
Fish are surprisingly hard to date, who would have known? Very fun concept, the story made me laugh a lot!
Very original concept ahah !
This was insane! I LOVE IT!!! It has amazing visuals for an game jam, great writing, it was fun enough that I played until I got every CG! The secret characters were goofy. I loved checking in on my phone to see if the responses had changed. My game only froze up once. Over all it was amazing, especially for something made in one week!
What a crazy idea for a fish game! I loved it! A bit hard to date the fishes, but really fun!
Good job! You game is very nice looking, and very creative. I would not have expected to rate a Date-Fishing game !
Very creative idea, the fish visuals reflect their personalities relatively well enough for it not to be blind guessing. Well done
I keep getting jump scared by the shark T.T Couldn't get pass 3 questions no matter what. Tip please???
keep fishing with the red lure or the yellow lure and answering all questions as best as you can
if you just want to see any ending you can always grind for a while with the red lure and then switch over to the blue lure for an easy ending
time is displayed on the top right corner of the phone
you can also just check the walkthrough (it's in the devlog)
This was the second fishing based dating simulator I have played during this jam... but this one let me DATE the fish, not just catch them, so you clearly win.
I didn't know I needed this but here we are. Great job!
Thank you. One of my goals when making this was for it to be the fishing dating-sim that nobody (knew they) needed, so I'm glad that got through.
What a wild mashup of ideas! Some of the fishing timers seemed impossibly fast, but after switching to the blue lure, it was much more doable. Great work!
Fun to play for different endings, as well as seeing the fish react! I like how wrong answers affect the fish you're talking to. The flexability for how to catch numbers is also nice especially after playing a few times.
Very cute game with cute art. Good job !
Great art style!
I reeeally liked the idea! so creative and the art really cute
