Good game, I like the art, the music is nice too. The upside down shark trying to get me was really funny :D!

as a die-hard fan of fishing games... I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy them the same way again. I had never thought about the poor little fish and their hard life. 

The game looks great, I love the retro two-color aesthetics and it's very fun and challenging :)

It's a very very good job, congratulations!

A pretty fine game, although I can’t seem to escape when I got into the bait.

Thanks! To escape simply swim down and avoid being hit by stuff

Great text-adventure! I wasn't super good at it but I love the writing, well done.

You must've confused our game with something else hehe, we didn't have much writing in ours.

I cannot tell if the music cutting out when you fight against the reeling is a good thing or not. Really fun game though although I lost 90% of my life when trying to hit the ball at the end of the reeling and the damage thing spawner right after I was about to touch it...

I know how 48 hours jam is short, but a pixel font would give a better old school feel. I like the minimalist pixel art and the chill gameplay! Most important: "FISHES! TO RULE THEM ALL!"  =)

I like that it reminds me of an old Nintendo game. Eating the hooks to stay alive is also a creative concept.

Very fun and unique idea! A nice simple loop to try to get the highest score, this game would be lots of fun with more things to do. Overall it was a good game for 48 hours, well done!

I really thought the hunger ran out too quickly since my first 3 worms were all fake and I thought all worms were fake. I played again and had a more fair experience :)

Bait also refills the hunger bar, you still eat the worm :) Thank you for playing!
