Fishing and relaxing :) Sailing around to catch fish and putting in extra effort for the bigger ones is straightforward and enjoyable! I like how you add more time each time we catch a fish; it feels endless if we’re eager to keep fishing :) The background music really supports the chill and cozy vibes while we fish! I also love the pixel art, it’s solid! Great work!
The pixel art is very nice, and the lonely sea with a warm music have a cool cozy vibe to it. Audio-visually it is pleasing, and mechanically it is very polished! The minigame for catching fish, especially those bigger ones could be something different though, I feel like my Z button is crying for help :D.
The graphics are decent! It's a shame there aren't any challenges in the game, like collecting 5 red fish to upgrade your fishing rod.
Other than the game is super easy, it's great
I loved the game's pixel art work, with the water texture, and everything! The music and sound effects were on point as well! I loved the concept of the fishing game; however, it is too easy to lose. Maybe make it more challenging, and I suggest adding more fish and like a fishing rod upgrade system (also switching up the Z key!). However, the standalone game is phenomenal! Amazing work!
The game is absolutely beautiful; the music and pixel art complement each other perfectly, and the gameplay makes you want to keep catching more and more fish! My only complaint is that the difficulty is very easy, to the point where the game becomes practically endless, but other than that, great job!
Oh, you also have a fishing game! I can't feel my hands, but great job xD
Every game needs a good fishing mini-game… And this is just that!
The art is simple and pleasant. It would be nice to add more variety to the minigame, for example by introducing windows during the minigame where you shouldn’t press the button, otherwise you lose. Overall, I had a pleasant time.
Great cozy take on a fishing game!
Although it hurts a bit on the long run to smash the same key. Maybe you could change the mini-game depending of the fish?
And Ipu is a cutie!
Artist: The artstyle is beuaiful and minimalistic in a cool manner. I love the character design. Animations are very satisfying. And the presentation page looks incredible, I'm in love <3
Coder: Controls are responsive, fishing mechanics is satisying. Quick notes:
Overall, the game is entertaning and relaxing. We'd suggest to add any challenge or ways to lose e.g. crashing to an island (as a game over) or stucking in algaes (that slows your movement speed).
P.S. Coder is convinced the character is a bird, artist is convinced it's a gnome. We're curious, who's right lol?
Hi, we really appreciate the detailed feedback. We'll take notes so we can discuss and decide what to do after the jam! The main character is a gnome. :)
This was very chill game! I liked the idea of the timer increasing when we catch a fish, it's a nice twist
The music loop is well done and doesn't get boring or annoying. The only improvement I can think of is, as someone else suggested, adding another key to mash so that it doesn't get painful during longer sessions.
Great job!
Hi, thanks for playing our game. We've taken note of the fishing system issue, and we'll fix it after the game jam. Thanks again!
This was a cute entry! I like the fishing mechanic, though I wish there was some variation in how to catch each fish (granted, you did an amazing job within the alloted timeframe). I started to cramp a bit after key-mashing, though. Could you make adjustable keybinds or maybe re-assign the catch button to the spacebar? Since it's a lot easier to mash with more than 1 finger.
Just a suggestion though, I like the game as it is regardless.
(also... I like the cozy bossa guitar rhythm and little synth playing too, cute music :D)
Hi, thank you so much for the feedback!. We're talking about fixing and tweaking the fishing system a bit and changing some values to make it more satisfying and less tiring on your fingers. Thanks for playing!
Hope I’m eating well with those goldfishs tonight, nice catch!
The yellow fish almost made me break my keyboard :0
Lovely cozy game! The art is super cute and the music really sets the mood
Thank you so much! Hope you liked it!
amazing art for that game. The songs is also pretty calming, great game! Really enjoyed the presentation
Thank you so much!
very cozy and enjoyed the music in this one, the fishing took a second to get down pat , after that it was really enjoyable! keep up the great work!
Cool art, cozy music, but i'm definitively not a good fisher!
Thank you so much! :)
