This 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
Fetch these compliments because this game is really cool! Very interesting fishing mechanic and combination with dating/tinder swiping is surely an interesting one. Good work!
When you say dating frog, I think of princess and the frog kind of stuff. Didn't see this one coming lmao
In the 21st century, one frog just isn't enough
I 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 :)

The dating app!! XD
I 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!
This 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.
One of the best fishing mini games in a game. Also I was not expecting dating sim 🤣
Pebble is my husbando now :>
Pebble supremacy 😤✨
Fun game, though I suck with timing but thats all on me :D
Simple but SUPER FUN! I love the art style, great job!
Great game, ya'll did a fantastic job:) I loved trying to see all the different frogs, good replayability!
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
This 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 :)
Thank you so much, really glad you liked it ^^
So fun to play ! Presentation and concepts are excellent. It made me laugh !
Real good job !
Really like the super original idea and creative take on the challenge! Fishing seemed pretty difficult, I couldn't manage to get it, maybe a in-game explanation would have helped?
Enjoyment 4/5 - Very nice gameplay loop! Fishing is very fun, especially trying to nail the harder ones like the shark! Everything you want in a fishing game.
Concept 5/5 - Genius concept. A fishing game where you date what you pull up? I would love to see that expanded further.
Presentation/Execution 4/5 - I feel as though the concept could have been expanded just a bit more to really stick, maybe just a short dialogue with each date would have really sold it. But the actual fishing easily makes up for it.
Use of Limitation 3/5 - Limitation doesn't really tie into the game much, but it works fine and doesn't hold back the game.
Thank you! I agree with the feedback, would definitely like to expand a lot more on the frog dating aspect
this game is so nice
10/10 was looking for fish and found love ♥
