This was a fun fishing game!
The theme was nicely integrated (maybe it could’ve gone a bit deeper, but it worked well as is), and the mechanics felt smooth and thought out. The “smushify” part wasn’t immediately clear—I didn’t realize it worked automatically—but once I figured it out, it was fine. The animation to smush was cool also :-).
Nice variety in fish types and their characteristics, and the different fishing rods added a good sense of progression. It really kept me playing, wanting to unlock new rods and discover what else the game had to offer.
The pixel art looked good and cohesive. The SFX and audio matched the overall vibe perfectly🎵
If I had to give any tips for even more fun, maybe you could add items or abilities based on the fish you catch—like bombs you can drop, a dash move, or ink to hide from fish and move more freely. Just ideas—but honestly, the game already feels complete and has a strong core game loop.
Really fun to play and a solid, well-made entry for our jam. Keep it up! 🐟🔥
