Nice short engaging loop you got here! Congrats mate :D
Things I loved:
- A pretty unique fishing mechanics, which is saying something given how saturated the genre is!
- Randomising the length + speed (+ ease?) was a great way to keep it fresh for the duration
- Aesthetics were well done, nice use of simple art + perspective to sell the look
- Interpretation of the lying theme was great XD
Things I'd love to see:
- A line renderer from the boat to the current fish - pretty rote but I think it would reinforce the perspective really well
- Some simple audio would do wonders here, even just a 5 min first page result from freesounds.org or w/e and some slapdash music would immediately elevate it imo
- I think bookending both the levels as well as the game itself would be nice. E.g. An end screen once all upgrades hit + ~$2500 in the bank.
- Given the framing of
fishingsaving fish in the endangered area, a time limit before theauthoritiesneer-do-wells, or some similar restriction would go hard imo, especially on the 2nd/3rd levels
