Cool little game, i like the mixture of jump and run and the catfishing game. The music was good, the art was very cute. especially the open and closed paw. The most distrubing sound was the cat when hit... sounds like a pig ;)
Well done!

Really cute game, I loved the drawings! I found the fishermen detection to be a bit hard to guage sometimes and I was caught many times when I thought I was safe, a little tightening up on this would go a long way! Loved the fishing mechanic too, it was satisfying to grab more than one fish at a time :p
Nice work!

Sketch and SnatchReally cute game. Probs to Kittenfarmer’s cat, great voice acting :D Adding the pufferfish was a good idea to give more risk to grab the fish.
Good job!

Last Shift: Hand of Justicefitting drawings and nice idea to switch between jump n run and grabbing fish.

Bootlegger’s Rise: Tips & ThievesLoved the gameplay and the art is beautiful! The only downside was the detection feeling a bit too strict at times, catching me when I thought I was safe

BeatBoomPowReally enjoyed the gameplay and the art is lovely! Only issue was that sometimes the detection can be too harsh and strict, there were moments I believed I was safe but was actually caught. Great job otherwise!

Small Jack CarVery charming illustrations! The platforming was a little rough, but fun for the most part, especially because the fish grabbing minigame is so good that it felt like a reward! Grabbing multiple fish feels delicious. Beautiful job!

Sketch and SnatchThe audio and art is amazing. The gameplay is also great (I love that you can grab multiple fish in one swoop), I like the platforming sections between stealing, but I think the hitboxes and timers could be a little more lenient, it's also pretty annoying having to restart all the way at the beginning especially on some "blind" jumps where it's hard to see fishermen before you jump. Also the font feels a bit mismatched with the beautiful aesthetic.

Dice GoblinI thought it was really cute! The hitbox on the cat felt a little odd sometimes, and there was a bit of a difficulty spike in platforming (that I didn't end up getting past), but overall I had fun. The text in the menu threw me off a little bit, but I really liked the traditional watercolored textures in the art, looked great!
