A little unwieldy but it's a neat concept.

I love this take on the fishing idea, and it looks so beautiful. Controlling the fish was nice but I would get a little disoriented when it got turned upside down a bit. Shark was pretty spooky felt like it was always behind me. Really good for 48 hours, I would definitely play it if it was tuned up just a little

Gnop GnipVery original idea! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, i love it. Needs some camera and control improvements to shine.

The Good OverlordThe game is nice and relaxing, and I really liked the graphics! I found the way the camera moved very disorienting though - I had trouble even knowing which way was up, and sharks could easily creep up on me. I also found the controls a bit awkward, but I think I’m just used to inverted up and down in games like this. Overall, though, nice work, very chill!
The controls for the game where a little difficult but overall the game was really fun. I loved your take on the theme.

Biscuit Break OutThe controls were kinda hard at first but once i got a hang of it the game was actually quite enjoyable!
The animations on the fish are very polished and the take on the theme is cool. Good job!

(Not) HorrorHad a jump scare with that shark! Well done. The controls were a bit tricky, but I feel like that more due to my lack of coordination.

Get PackingVery calming for a game about fattening up and sacrificing yourself to an elder god. A+

Going Through ItAmazing game! I really liked the presentation, how the fish looked, and the animations - great polish! The shark was scary and intimidating

Rubbish RushIt's interesting seeing a game with a concept similar to ours but with a very different goal :'D. The camera was a bit disorienting but the vibes are very much on point. Very cool and relaxing. Nice game!

Fish Food: Father and ChumCool camera controls, though it's a bit dizzy. I like the style of the game, it is somewhat pleasing with all the fishes swimming around

Billy The Worm BaitOh it took me a bit to figure out what I was doing, but I got there. Once I figured it the controls are kinda like a flight sim, my brain really wanted "up arrow" to be "go downward" but that's probably just me. :P Maybe an option to choose key settings in a future version.

[GMTK-2023] Can I move?Very beautiful graphics. You nailed the swimming animation perfectly. I would have added kelp or sea weed at the bottom of the world to help with the sense of direction, because I got disoriented when I couldnt reference up and down. Had a great time being eaten.
