Very polished and fun to beat! It was relaxing being able to zone out and try and catch all the fish I could! The pacing of leveling up each time was well done. I do wish there was a button that made you reel in your line a little quicker once you started fishing deeper since it took longer coming back up. It would be great seeing even more upgrades or certain baits you could buy to give you advantages while fishing. Awesome work, it was a really nice game! :)
Thank you so much for trying out our game and for your inspirational feedback. We are indeed brainstorming on how to improve the gameplay experience, with the hooking mechanic and baits being on the list. Glad you enjoyed it though! :D
Yippee! I loved the game. I got max upgrades and caught all the fish, even the angler one.
Niceee 🤩 Glad you enjoyed it!
LMAO very cool idea, it's quite polished and very fun to progress. I would recommend to ease a bit the cost so you can upgrade your stuff faster also auto select the next fish available to sell instead of always clicking on a fish to sell then click sale. But that's just ideas ! Cool game ! Good job!
Glad you enjoyed it! As you said, tweaking the cost of things is needed as well as some quality of life things here and there. We will take note of this for the future.
I found a bug!!! I caught 3 beetle juices but nothing appeared!!! :'(
I have beat the game though, and I declare this, the best game of all Game JAM!
Yes, unfortunately, the hooking logic can still be improved, but we're really glad that you enjoyed it! :D
I just got your joke 😂
Yes, we definetly need to implement an easter egg for that =)))
Oh lol xD That's funny.
I also just read your previous comment... And I actually thought the hooking mechanic was fine! xD
Cool concept and I love the music, it added a lot of fun and vibes!
Thank you a lot 😁
Really nice game!
I could really feel the theme about scaling here ! Upgrades that are impactfull and wortwhile and lots of different fish to catch :)
Only critisism I have is how little of me is needed, I mostly threw the hool deep and hoped for the best. If that could be made more interesting it would be perfect. But I also know the timeline is difficult, really decent game that taken into consideration :)
Thank you for playing our game and thank you for your feedback :)
Very good game. Nice done. One tip for speeding up a little bit the experience for the game jam purpose would be a button that teleports you to the port.
Thank for playing our game and we appreciate your idea. It's a good one :)
Great game! Awesome art, very well polished overall. However I do feel like it's a bit too repetitive after a short time, given that the gameplay is also quite easy. Having a secondary objective could make it more engaging, but it may have not been feasible within a game jam time frame :D Having said all that I still play to the end to catch the biggest fish lol XD
It was indeed a bit repetitive, we had some more interesting ideas on the plate, like obstacles, rare collectibles, a fish bestiary, etc. But unfortunately the time frame got us in the end. So we focused more on polishing and balancing it.
But nonetheless, thank you for trying it out and giving us feedback 🙏
lovely pixel art style! i like how impactful each of the upgrades felt and i liked that you could steer the rod while it was comin back up.
Thank you for trying our game out, and for your kind feedback! I've also played your game and saw it being featured on the GMTK live, good job 😁 I really liked how creative your idea was.
Very fun and relaxing. The graphics are simple but nice.
Thank you for playing our game. I am happy that you like it 😁
Such a beautiful game. Awesome art style and color palette. Nice job!
Art was indeed one of the focus-areas. Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Good game! The upgrades are pretty balanced. For some reason, It's scared me, every time I discovered a new fish, lol. I played until I unlocked everything!
Lol, no intention for making it scary or anything 😂
But I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it =))
this is super fun, i love how much more powerful the upgrades make you feel and how it... *scales* (ba-dum tss) seriously tho really fun and looks great, and is surprisingly well-balanced for a jam game!
Glad you found it well balanced, we really spent some time trying to adjust everything as good as possible. Regarding the upgrades, that was indeed the idea, we were initially scared that we don't follow the theme well-enough, but we're glad to hear that you liked it 😁
Very cool art style, good job !
Such an addictive game thanks to the upgrades !
Glad to hear that, thanks for playing!
Wow, really cool art style, nice work!
Thank you for trying our game out, and for your kind feedback :)
Great execution on your game concept! Nice art, music, and the gameplay loop is smooth. The fishing mechanic of trying to time getting the bigger fish is fun too!
We're happy to hear that you enjoyed it :D
Such an addictive game! the more upgrade i get the deeper i can dive into the sea, really enjoy playing this game.
We want to thank for playing our game and we are happy that you enjoyed playing it :)
Grindy game, but then again, that's my jam. Nice sfx, but the 8bit Drunken Sailor music gets tiresome. If you got some more shanties in there I think it could be great. I like that you can get to choose sounds you want, some other games don't let you have that.
Thank you for trying out our game. Yes, you are right, we thought of adding some new catchable objects, like treasures, obstacles, etc. But unfortunately, time constraints and a bit of burnout got us in the end. We might develop it further in the future tho.
