Use of the limitation
To have a lot of fishes in the bucket you'd prefer to catch the smallest ones

Really nice game, I love the art style, its so unique! I'm not sure if this was part of the game on purpose, but whenever I got a new high score it was always 1 less than the score I actually got in game. Regardless really nice job!

Developer

Thank you for playing. 

To answer your question, it's on purpose because at the end the game count the number of stable fish (minus the fallen one).

It's the second time someone tell me about this and as a player I understand it can be frustrating, maybe I should make the minus 1 a little before the game ends.

Thank you for the feedback

Nice game! Fun to play. Got at most 17 fishes but it said my high score is 16. (but I know better lol). Kinda short too. I also didn’t notice any music/sound. GG!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the feedback. Yeah it's a very short loop, I'd like to improve it during the next month

I made it to 20 but the high score said 19 :O. It was fun though, I played for a few rounds. I really liked the hand drawn art good job!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I realized it can be a bit frustrating but the bucket score count the number of catched fish and the final score count the number of fish in the bucket (minus the fallen fish).

Thank you very much for playing and your feedback

Very good uses of the limitation, i love the concept and art. You did a great job

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing!

Very clever use of the limitation added some strategy and also risk whenever I wanted to pick smaller fish that were right next to bigger fish. Like the graphics as well although some sound design obviously would have been nice.

Highest score I got was 40 btw

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback, happy you had a good time. I really want to add some sound and game design (less randomness)

Cute art and concept! I really enjoyed the bucket prefering smaller fish since it had a limit to what it could hold. Also I know it wasn't the point of the game, but I had fun filling the bucket with big fiosh and watching all other ones fall out lol.

Developer

Thanks for testing it out, I'm really glad to know you had fun with it!
