This game was quite funny! I enjoyed the reeling mechanic, I thought it was pretty smart. I wish the part when I tried to bait the fish would have been quicker, but cool game! I caught so many carps :(

Really nice concept here ! At first I was asking "Why should I get a frog when I have plenty of fish?" And then I discover the dating app, that was a great idea ! very fun

Astaroth VS WildAwesome game! Seems like the game has big potential!
But my reaction time isn't good and I caught only 2-3 fish(

Mama FroggyThis is amazing!!! I love the concept and the use of the limitation was great. This was so well done and very impressive -loved how the reel telegraphed the next click position -made it very fun to try to catch them fast -kept trying to catch sharks once i figured it out (unsuccessfully i might add) xD -also really loved how the music theme changed but remained consistent between chill fishing and intense reeling em in! The humor was great too! plus fish facts instead of dates was great too -loved this game -fantastic work! :D

Snacky Frog RemixI enjoyed the chill and cool vibe of the game a very creative and unique idea! The main mechanic was implemented well. An idea I had is let the shark cut your fishing line if they pass through it :)

Keep The FrogI like to think that there's an alternate universe where this is how humans match...by luring in a prospective mate, but then having to swipe on their dating app profile after reeling them in. I really enjoyed this concept though, and the minigame reminds me of the fishing minigame in Final Fantasy XI. Artwork is great, atmosphere felt nice. Great work!

Territorial Defense FrogsThis is so creative! Reeling fish in feels super satisfying (immediately changing the target while yanking the fish felt so good). The fanfare when I caught one gave me such a rush. The score changes and mechanics really capture the sudden changes in pace and mood with actual fishing (relaxed/patient -> panicked and focused -> celebrating!)
The tinder part got a belly laugh from me.

Frog's light (Game jam version)Very cute game! The fishing minigame was challenging but fun, and meeting the frogs you catch was nice. It was interesting that the frogs were mostly at the bottom, the hardest place to get fish from; it made trying to reel them in an intense moment

Date HoppingThis is just so sweet!
The art style is wonderful, with so much character for each of the frog designs. I adore the frogphone as well
The gameplay loop is really satisfying, and was the perfect amount of challenge. Little details like the pale indicator on the circle for where the next area would be on the catch minigame really helped make it feel good.
The writing and general tone of the game was welcoming, funny and surprisingly educational - loved the fish facts! I ended up getting two endings (alone and too many frogs), but can definitely see myself coming back to see the rest :)
