penguin.
Fun little fishing game! penguin cute.
Very nice and relaxing little game
Love that little penguin!
The timing on the animation for the penguin is on point.
The sfx jingle when you reel in the fish is very nostalgic, and the ambient soundtrack is very relaxing.
I think a simple 2-frame animation for the iceberg like you have for the penguin would be a nice addition.
I'm curious what you did to get the background animation/texture for the water. It's very interesting, I think it looks nice.
Some skill expression for the fishing mechanic would be nice to help engage the player a bit
I used a shader effect over an image with randomised noise, i just googled and found a cool solution and tweaked it :D
It was a very calm game, but it was fun for some reason.
Love the vibes, just wish the fishing had a bit more depth (haha see what I did there). Build on the fishing mechanic and you've really got something special here.
Just the kind of relaxing experience I needed late in my evening. The musical stings, the dismissive tossing of caught items and their physics, the quirky animated penguin sprite; it all comes together with a lot of charm. There could be more to the gameplay to provide challenge and more moment-to-moment engagement but it also may have been intentional to just be simple and relaxing. In any case, I enjoyed my time with our little penguin friend.
so cute, love the chill vibes and the penguin it such a cute little guy - the gameplay got a little old quite quickly though, so in the future maybe you could add some variation in when to hold down and release E when catching different fish or something, making it a little more varied and challenging! good job though, it's very chill and cute:)
