As long as the fish are volunteers... XD
Nicely done. It all looks really small in my screen but all playable and nice. I really enjoy games with weird controls. This could be trivially easy with standard controls but where's the fun in that?
Oh. I don't mean the key bindings. I meant separate side movement and the up and down being a hold to lower and release to reel back up. It could have been just a joystick movement or worse, a mouse point and click XD. You've hit the right balance of familiar enough for me to jump right in but weird enough to make me pause a bit. The kind of setup where a miss makes me say "Aw, c'mon, I got this. One more try"
