Not really a fan of rythm game but the fishing setup made this one original.
Well great! Another good game that I am bad at! For real, though, that's a really unique rhythm game. Also, all the visuals are beautiful (as usual in your games :P) and everything feels so polished and satisfying! And the music is a banger! Definitely one of my favourites from this jam.
Ooooh yes I love rhythm games, finally something I can top score on! Great game, only thing I'd like is more songs! Maybe also some extra points for catching fish with "perfect" timing, especially since as of now myself and two others have what I assume is the highest score possible on the leaderboard.
I have an accuracy system programmed into the game, but web version really missed up the timing, unfortunately I had to throw it out. I wanted to have multiple songs and difficulties, but editing the song was just so tedious and time consuming. If I ever make another rhythm game again, I will have to build a song editor for quickly building levels. Thanks for the playthrough and comments.
I really enjoyed this! A very satisfying and cute rhythm game. It might be nice to have a little bit of audio feedback when you click just so you can hear how in time you are. Also after a couple of attempts, I did run into a problem where the fish would stop spawning. But overall really awesome job :)
Cool idea making a fishing themed rhythm game. Really makes a lot of sense to combine the two. It's super fun to play and the art is great. I did have the same problem as Hermes where the fish stopped spawning about halfway through the song. I also think it might've been even better if the music matched the fishing/water theme. Overall really great!
Love the game, its odd because at home the game broke and wasn't showing the fish but at work I got to play the whole game and get on the top 10 muhahaha. Also love the feature of using two buttons for the long snake like fish lol
A fun rhythm game. The press an alternate button while holding the button down took me a while to understand what that meant since there's only one hook, but I liked it once I figured it out. I'd like a keyboard only or joystick version, but the mouse was nicely done.
So first of all the game image is one of my favorites of the jam. Super cute octopus and very inviting. I was able to understand the overall gameplay well, and I'm a rhythm game fan. I thought the "sensitivity" of the timing was just right. Often these kinds of games you have to really tune your brain to figure out the "attack" of the virtual instrument, and I didn't feel that frustration at all. It would be really neat to have a pure keyboard control scheme in a future version. Nice job!
great rhythm game! only complaint is the mouse controls for moving the the hook were a bit awkward
Thanks for the playthrough, I really enjoyed yours as well. The mouse controls were me just trying to do something different from the standard keyboard controlled rhythm games. It probably just added unnecessary complexity to my game.
I’m happy that I reeled in a ‘pass’ and scored a spot on the leaderboard. The rhythm based mechanic is super engaging and the fish are synced to the music’s beat really well, which feels satisfying when getting it right. The combo system and visuals are all great too. The soundtrack compliments the game well and while I enjoyed the controls, personally for me I would have found having the added option of using arrow keys for the hook movement to be more intuitive to me
cool creative idea for a rythm game
This was rad as heck. Fantastic take on a rhythm game!
Your games are always so ✨juicy✨. It may be a skill issue though, but sometimes I felt like the hook wasn't moving completely with my mouse. Terrible at rythm games, but still enjoyed this one. Very well made.
