* I love love LOVE the characters, the dialogue is so charming and fun!
* The game also looks great. Maybe a little mixely here and there with the UI elements like text and character portraits but the presentation overall is very nice, I like the way the water was done, the ship, the characters, the fishing line, it all looks great.
* The actual gameplay itself really confused me. Sometimes there were arrows, sometimes there weren't, sometimes a fish would come and escape without any arrows ever appearing, sometimes there was music and sometimes there wasn't. I like the idea of centering it around rhythm, not sure if it was buggy or if I didn't quite grasp the execution, was it half regular fishing game half rhythm?
* The book looked really good, I loved the page turning animation, but why was it mouse only? I couldn't figure out how to turn the pages for a while because it was not an NES control and not mentioned, so I thought the common fish were the end of it at first lol. Like ah, I got the hook, I guess that's all of them, where's the dragonfish LOL
* There was also a minor bug with the ship music (great track btw, mad respect the vibe was nailed) not coming back consistently. I think it only comes back when you fail a fish.
* I gotta say I am DEVASTATED that there's no proper ending, I was...heh... hooked!! I understand a cinematic ending is a lot but man. The characters don't acknowledge or really explain anything in the end. I thought the storytelling was really cool otherwise, was always looking forward to the next item to pull up.
