This is almost a 5/5 on every category game. The idea is fantastic, the presentation is beautiful and cohesive (except for being able to see past the end of the water to the abyss a few times.) and there's so much room for skill. It's a brilliant concept- but I found it really hard to control the player. The frustration of missing those dark blue spots repeatedly, as the cars go around, or dropping the banana peel in the wrong place, soured what would have been a really addictive experience otherwise. You nearly have something super fun here, if you polish the controller.

How does your game fit the theme?
It's a parody of Mario Kart where you take the role of "Lakitu", fishing for cars that have gone off the track.

I also had the idea of playing lakitu in a mario kart game but I couldn't come up with a fun way to execute it. Well done!

Kerfuffle KupHaha I didn't expect to see someone else with the same concept! The Bakito Kart dev and us should start a club or something.
Quite a neat little concept, was a little hard to control but love the idea!

Space Bandit: Asteroids Strike BackVery chill music with some relaxing fishing. The fishing controls were a bit hard to use, but still pretty fun getting to play as the cloud guy from Mario Kart haha

Pete Stopper RE-FUELI'm not sure if inertia was needed for Lakitu, it's already hard to aim well, as nothing tells you where the hook will fall. The objects are not too different, which is sad, but there's room for funky ideas. I appreciate the sort of mini-quests you need to complete during the run, and the animations are quite good actually. It's a great concept, but I had a hard time trying to manage the character. Good job though, it's a very interesting game I wasn't expecting!

Midnight HeistA racing game where u are not in the race but are fishing cars out of the water surrounding the track. Gotta say, as a fellow fishing-game jammer, I loved this.

Plenty of FishGreat game, visuals and audio. The fishing log is a really nice addition and adds replay value, the end scores really made me crack up looking at the species tab haha. It makes me really appreciate Lakitu's work, now they have a game we just need them to get a solo movie. It would be nice if Lakitu stayed roughly where they were when turning around it can make lining things up difficult sometimes.
