Fish
The mechanics were very fun and creative and the atmosphere was on point! Feel like there's some balancing/pacing things that would need to be addressed for higher scaling unless i didnt play enough? with higher stats there didn't seem to be more fish spawning and i'm not sure if this was intentional but even without fully encircling some of the fish you can catach even the big skeleton one just by looping while inside of it, and then your health resets after you catch it
The mechanics could be a bit better communicated, perhaps if the fish flashed a color when damaged, loved the snowball effect of the upgrade system where you go from barely being able to catch a salmon to wiping the entire screen in one go.
Concept of Pokémon ranger incorporated into a fishing game was very creative. Love the game and the art!
I caught all the fish!
Mechanics aren't immediately obvious, but still pretty fun once you know them, and the presentation is very chill with lots of cool fish art.
I absolutely love this. A game that is just relaxing, no cliffhangers, no game overs, no bloodshed, just catching and learning about fish to peaceful music :)
