I really liked this one! It was nice and relaxing (well, until I tried catching some of the large fish). I enjoyed the puns, and I also enjoyed the art, especially the way the sky and the pond changed colors. Nice work!

Charming and atmospheric. Very tranquil - with just a little bit more going on (perhaps visually, perhaps gameplay-wise), this could be a very "zone out" kind of game. The fishing minigame is fun, but I don't know if it's fun enough for me to do dozens of times in a row 😅 Good entry!

I think the pixel art came out really well.

3rd tier fish are too annoying to catch, theyre too eratic and you cant change your direction quick enough.

It wasnt very fun that the gameplay is essentially just hitting E over and over with only 5 times the other buttons needing pressing to go buy the next upgrade and go back to the pond.

catching fish wasnt very satisfying, needs more juice, not sure what juice

FUNNY MOUSE

This is genuinely one of the most atmospheric games I played. I love the artstyle and the entire game and the soundtrack... It's hard to put into words. I think this game can be turned into something special, make a small game with minimal characters about Sisyphus struggle (I think it can play into that with the mechanics).


This game actually awoke some ancient raw feeling within me and yet it's so simple, I'm out of words.
