The premise for this game is so cute! It definitely needs a lot of work to address bugs; I noticed the businessman straight up note on his sprite explaining that he's bugged, and the 'don't have enough points!' dialogue in the shop menu gets hidden by the 'buy' buttons and is hard to read in general. But I do love the metaphor of literally reeling in folks for you to show off in front of and get compliments from. Helps that the main character is really cute!!

Thanks Katya! My goal for the game proper would be 10 stages, with a story cutscene every 2 stages. You would use points to unlock new stages, as well as a few other things that didn't make it into the jam build. Such as new fishing rods, and lures that would make certain NPC's more likely to spawn than others. This was my first time trying to make a game, and so I've definitely learned quite a few things along the way lol.
Thanks again for the kind words! Once those bugs are out of the way, I'll have the basic frame work for the rest of the game done. It was such a rewarding experience participating in this jam--I'll be sure to join more from now on!
