Notes (optional)
A former team member wasn't doing any of the work he said he would do and I only found out on the day of the deadline.
I replaced him on the last day with another friend (who made the hand drawn art) which is how I even got this game out with graphics.
I had many days were I was working on school and than was working on this until like 3am.
Enjoy!
Pre-existing assets (optional*)
Every SFX & BG music

i love the spongebob fish :D
i played this far too long :D. i just wished my streak wouldn't end when i sell my fish :D
But i got the trophy at the end. Really addictive game. with some more fish, upgrades and some music i'd play this eevn more.
Good work!
Here's my opinion on this game
Fun: It is a fun game, but I feel like the gameplay loop gets very repetitive (And I'm not gonna act like my game isn't the exact same, you have played it)
Creativity: I really like the idea for this game! I like the idea of controlling a rod with physics and your multiplier going up with getting in the pattern. Overall I think the idea could have been executed better though.
Visuals: I also really like the paper drawn assets, it's also a unique style for a game (Love the Minecraft pufferfish). However quite literally everything has a different art style, it would DRASTICALLY improve it if everything was in that paper drawn style (even the background and buttons and stuff)
Audio: Not much to say here, the reeling is satisfying but it could definitely use some music.
Fishiness: My pure unbiased review of this game: it has fish
Overall opinion of this game: Good in theory but could use lots of improvements
I had a really good time with this, I love the bucked full of fish with a fish outside of the bucked, lol, nice touch. I feel like a real fisherman!, good job!!
Really fun and charming game! I love the hand-drawn elements, I wish there was more! I loved seeing the buckets fill up with fish, it reminded me of the Club Penguin fishing game. I could only play this game in windowed mode, but it wasn't centered, it was towards the left of my screen; I could still see everything though!
I ended up playing until I got just enough Dollabills to fund the school! I'm so happy to own the special trophy <3
uhhhhhhhh this is what fullscreen on web looks like
I think this is a problem with how I set up the size of the game. I didn't account for screens smaller than 1920 x 1080. whoops.
the background water sounds is pretty relaxing ... I like the joint physics on the cord of the fishing rod. It seems the hook has to be under the fish which makes you have to bounce the rod around until it's hook is exactly in the place of the fish so you can fish it, but that makes the fish traverse time far too short and the fishing process far to hard ... if I am understanding it correctly
Cool game! I like the art and sound, the rod was kinda glitchy and times and I the controls where a little bit annoying to figure out as the instructions where kinda unclear. Besides that I thought the game was fun and balanced, kinda reminded me of cookie clicker. Good job!
I like how the fishing line moves with physics and also the sound environment, the wave ambience is very relaxing. I especially like the shop keeper and I had fun time playing your game and getting that throphy. I'm sorry about the situation with the team member.
