Clever! The game worked well. I noticed that after I cast the line, the fish go backwards like they're shocked back but then start going forward again, but some fish just seem to swim backwards from the start.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for being our first itch.io comment!
Yes, when the line lands, fish get spooked, that much is intentional- the fish that appear to be moving backwards is due to the renders being flipped. Sometimes they spawn backwards like that giving an odd appearance. There's a LOT of bugs to be ironed out... frankly I'm just glad to have a V1.0 release finally. Bug fixes are next on the docket!
