Really interesting and creative approach to the gameplay. I had a bit of trouble figuring out the filter, but overall, it is fun to play. I played it against myself and lost track of my fish many times. The AIs are good. Good job for making the game~

We ended up pivoting two days before and didn't have an artist so go easy on the art <3

Yaaa, one thing I struggled with was making the pickup effect obvious. Basically you have to stand near the rock/algea/food for 2 seconds to pick up the item, and then you can swim into the filter or drop it over the filter with E. Thanks for the feedback and playing the game! I really appreciate it
I dont have any friends to play with :c... but the gameplay is very cool ! good job :D
Very cool that you were able to put together a two player deduction/hiding game for the jam. The fish movement is pretty good for hiding amidst, so nice job on that!
Cool concept! I played as the fisherman and managed to win both times B) It was pretty hard though because there's so many fish and it felt like they moved pretty organically :D Considering you didn't have an artist the art is actually quite endearing :D
Really creative concept - there really aren't enough asymmetric couch multiplayer games out there. I had trouble picking up stuff as the fish but maybe that s just me sucking lol
This is a very unique concept for a game. I like how the player playing as the fish has to discretely find out who he is without the fisherman noticing him.
Really brilliant concept! I like the idea of an asymmetric, single screen game, and it resonates really well with the fishing themes. I think rather than having the explainer text, a short tutorial would go a long way towards communicating how to play to the player. Overall, great work!
This is a FANTASTIC idea. I love the concept of trying to stealth a coop game. It did take a few rounds to fully realize what I was supposed to do. A little more explanation at the beginning would improve it a lot. Still, so fun and I think you could go really far with this one!
A bit confusing and overwhelming, but great idea and visuals, Bold move to make a couch co op only game!
:D
