How does your game fit the theme?
The player is essentially fishing in a loop. There's multiple looping bars, such as the fish cast bar, and the quick time event when getting a bite.

I'm a big fan of the "Kowloon aesthetic", so it was a very nice to surprise to see a Kowloon game in the jam. The art and audio really nailed the claustrophobic atmosphere. I don't know a full game of this would look like, but I'd play it.
You nailed the atmosphere. I never thought that fishing could be this creepy.
Cool concept, great art and vibe! Nice job :3
this is really neat. really excellent thumbnail that grabbed my attention.
i think the forgotten, claustrophobic, uncomfortable, and polluted nature of Kowloon Walled (?) City is conveyed well (and, i assume the title is in reference to it given the "forgotten city" line?). aesthetically, really interesting, really vibed with the art.
just wish there was more of a narrative, and more gameplay use of the theme.
Decent game, but unfortunately it's very short and there's no point at the end of the day
Very atmospheric, and the art is so pretty! I was kinda expecting something unusual to happen because of the ominous messages in the corner, but still it was an interesting experience!
really love the style. great game, thank you!
very cool aesthetic, love the vibe the sounds give! wish there was more interactions, but i enjoyed it as it is
I'm here because artwork it so unique and this is my favorite one!
If possible, can you please vote my game and leave a comment too?
Spooky vibes and a fishing game, surprisingly, feel pretty good together.
Ver ycool art style and ambiance!
The relation to the theme of the jam is a bit of stretch, but the vibes are on point, the text on the wall really adds to the atmosphere.
I just wish there were an ending of some kind, I saw each unique message loop like three times before I stopped playing.
Thank you for the feedback! I was very hesitant in adding an ending, partly because the fishing system took surprisingly a long time to implement, leaving less time for other stuff. And also partly because I felt like an ending would break the "loop". I was really trying to go for the experience of playing the game to be the part of the loop theme, therefore as long as the player is playing the game they will essentially loop. I think the theme also felt more relaxed as the majority of games do have an inherent "gameplay loop" that could just fit the theme.
Either way I appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed the vibes and atmosphere as that is something I put most of my emphasis on!
I'm afraid of fish!
i like the art style
Thank you for the kind comment :3
