Cool game, I've enjoyed it! The music is awesome, and the game is hard yet rewarding, as the real fishing is :) Oh, and kudos for referencing the Hemingway's classic. Great job!
Simple but well executed concept. I like it!
5/5. I really like this game! The art is great, the music is great, and the movement feels really good. I haven't read The Old man And the Sea yet, haven't got to it yet.
I will say that the basic only one button is a little unoriginal, but then with the only one chance to catch the fish, and only one bait, it is very different from other games, and of course the whole game is very original.
I was confused at first, since for some reason I didn't read the description first. You could add in game explanations or also just add, in the beginning of the description, that it's very important and people will sea (get it?) it and read.
One of the best games of the jam!
Oooooooh, thank you very much for your comment! Glad you liked it.
Yes, after the jam we may add better description of the game.. ingame, we got several comments pointing that out.
Again, thank you! :)
You deserve it :)
I got the fish ^^ !
I kinda wish I was supposed to catch the mermans, those were quite funny ^^ !
Nice touch having the music ramp up the deeper you get.
