I enjoy the moment of hooking a fish, but it seems somewhat difficult to understand how to move correctly.

A tutorial with buttons in the front would be a great addition.

thank you for your feedback, that's actually really helpful to know. I wonder if maybe our game would work better with a controller rather than keyboard buttons.

Left botton to hook maybe better?

Very charming game. The presentation is flawless, although I kinda feel like an additional mechanic would have truly consolidated it as an excellent small game. Regardless, this is an amazing job for such short time, so congrats 👍

10/10 game, love when jammers learn to do much with what's available, adding some nice twists in the go (the running door made me cackle)

This is great! Love the watery morphing gravity ponds. And having different music tracks for each level was really nice! This felt really cohesive. And I love a good level at the end that turns everything on its head a bit.

Wonderful job!!

The description is literally perfection 😂

You are BOTE.

BOTE loves fish.

BOTE will not be satisfied until all fish belong to BOTE.

Life is incomplete without ALL OF THE FISH.

BOTE knows what BOTE must do...😂

The game is amazing and the water blobs physics and sound effects are cute and engaging, I actually completed all the levels except the final one, but the game is actually awesome and satisfying, Great submission 🙌

Such a cute and simple game! I've never seen anything like it. 5 stars on creativity for sure. I loved the simplicity of the art style and the seemingly simple but well-thought-out puzzles. amazing work :D

I enjoyed picking each level through the doorways, the doorways to fishing. Even the doorways sometimes moved. Are the doorways fish? Are all doorways fish? When I turn a door handle, is it fish? The game changed my perspective on doors. I need to open my fish and go outside now.

This is such a fun concept executed very well with a good amount of polish thrown in too! I had a lot of fun playing this and even replaying levels is just an absolute pleasure.
I really like everything about this game!
