Honestly, when the Controls tutorial popped up at the start , i expected the controls to be messy with the way the fish was placed on the ground , but wow, they were surprisingly fluid and easy to handle, and that alone made the whole experience so much fun!
thank you so much!! im glad you liked the controls B)
I love everything about this--from the graphical style you chose to the concept. I hope you'll consider making a full version.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like it! Yes we have been floating the idea, so perhaps there may be a fish game in your future :)
This was so fricking funny, it feels great it looks great, loved it!
Thank you for playing SpookyMan! I feel so grateful for my teammates work on this one. Everyone really went all out for those five days hahaha
Um... I love this game and plan to play the hell out of it lol
I'm so glad you love it! If you ever need any hints filling out the catalogue, feel free to ask!
Will do! thank you
Wow actualy great game. A lot of fun and the graphics are great.

Creative and so much fun!
thanks! <><
I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!
I enjoyed reverse fishing! Also RIP Ted & Fred 🙏
RIP :,(
Thank you so much for playing! They were good men hahahaha
Don't tell me that! 😭 LOL
This game was very surprising in the best of ways. I went in expecting one thing, and ended up playing something completely different. It was a fun concept, and the silly nature of it was enjoyable. Nice submission!
thank you so much!! <><
I'll admit it, looking at the thumbnail and seeing the catalogue on the menu screen thought I knew what this game was going to be.
I was wrong .·°՞(˃ ᗜ ˂)՞°·.
haha, hope you enjoyed B)
Thought it was a fishing game??? Well... kind of if you really think about it lmao
Fun physics based arcadey property destruction game, saw someone liken it to Catlateral Damage and I couldn't agree more!
thank you so much!!! ill have to check out Catlateral Damage for sure
the objects are funny, the gameplay is smooth, and that music is bumping
that fish knows what's up, legend
death is an opportunity, to steal a fisherman or two
legend <><
I composed the music for this game! I'm so glad you liked it! It really means a lot!
Very fun game! Will def play again later to try and 100% it. I give it 5 starfish!
Thanks so much!!! good luck on 100%, lmk if u need any hints <><
So take Catlateral Damage, make it about a fish, give it Sega Saturn graphics and James Bond-esque music and cook the whole thing up in a weekend? "Brilliant" is the only word that covers this. Absolutely love it. Well done!
thank you so much!! those comparisons are flattering <3
Loved the game, got some crazy speed by clicking a lot. Great job! :D
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! You can get cooking pretty fast hahaha. Also, if you jump on the walls, you can climb! That helps reach some of the more hidden and rare items. Thanks for playing!
Had a blast, loved your game really has a very cool style!! Ted is the goat
Hahaha everyone seems to love Ted! Thank you so much for playing!
Oh geez! lol. This was soooo much fun. Just incredible! I really wish the fish would kind of flop around on its own so I could sort of move in a direction, even if slowly, but I totally understand that is not really the point of the game. haha. Fantastic game though! I didn't see the theme at play much with this one, but it was hilariously awesome! Really excellent job!! :D I will definitely be back for more! haha
Thank you so much for playing and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Our idea with the theme is that the fish purposefully gets caught and dies for the opportunity to steal, but I understand your take because it's not quite as on the nose as an actual gameplay mechanic. This was a discussion we kept revisiting while designing the game. We even thought about adding some kind of bonus or upgrade to the fish if you push the people into the water, but we were running out of time at that point!
Oh i gotcha! Haha. Nice! Yeah i thought maybe something with the fish being out of water was the "death" theme, but was like "well technically im still alive so maybe knocking these guys off will do it?". Haha. Totally understandable though. Fantastic work! You all should seriously consider uploading this demo to steam after the jam. Add some multiplayer (if you really wanted to, but it doesnt really need it) and youve got the perfect streamer bait (hehe) game! Excellent job!
We have been throwing that idea around of a full release! And the ability to add multiplayer is a fantastic idea that we never originally thought of when designing the game! Thank you so much for playing our game and taking the time to leave a comment and respond!
This was so fun!!! I had an awesome time playing this. A simple concept with amazing execution that really makes this game stand out.
I'm so glad you think so! It was a joy to produce and I'm grateful to have worked with such a talented team!
Very funny and entertaining 👌👌
Very nice shader!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing!
OMG that really means a lot! Thank you so much!
