I've played a few games so far that went the route of a fishing game where you play the fish, but this one is my favorite by far. Great job!

A classic fishing mini game, except.. you are an angry buff bass fish taking down fishermen!

Great game, I love this kind of coordination game where you need to pay attention to two things at once. Awesome job!
Level 3 tho... Really charming and it's awesome you made it by yourself, this was my first ever game jam and i got carried hard by my teammates. Hopefully one day I get the courage to try one solo lol :)
Short but fun, only real bug was the electric shock sound effect playing when you get pulled out of the water.
A game after my own heart. The combination of having to move to stay alive, and watch the attack bar, makes this a really tricky reaction game and I'm all for it. The art is great, the sounds are great, I am bad at it but I have terrible reactions and I still really enjoyed every second of it. 10/10 IGN
This game is very creative! I really like how you took what would normally be regular fishing gameplay and made it work in the opposite direction. The multitasking of having to move while timing your hits is also a great challenge. I definitely did find level 3 a bit too difficult, though. Maybe adding some audio feedback when your marker hits the ends of the bar to make timing a bit easier would help.
Love the atmosphere! For me the third level was too challenging. I like the art style. Respect for the fish of the gym.
You'd think the fishermen would get tired after a while.
Pretty cool game, though!
I absolutley loved the music, the sound effects, and the colours, I really liked the colour palette! Not only that but it was a fun game. A little hard to get at first... But once I got it, it was fantastic!

Enjoyed this one a lot! It was the perfect amount of difficulty and fun! Also represented the theme perfectly.
The aesthetics and vibes are so so nice !! The sound effect for whenever you succeed to get one under is so satisfying- fun times!
10/10 for the name alone (but fr though the game is real good :D)
But wait... There's still a fishing minigame, but we're fishing the fishermen instead!
