Huge props for using PICO8! What a charming and quirky little game, I loved it. The animation of the main character had so much personality. I love the little hook maze mechanic for fishing too. The music was delightful and fit the game perfectly. I really enjoyed this and only wished there was more! Great job!

I absolutely love the music, it really helps to create a cute and relaxing atmosphere, the dialogue made me laugh especially after catching a damn car and talking to the lady, i had a fun time, perhaps my only "complain" is that the game could use some way to tell you that you already catched something, because the first time i catched one thing and it went back to the "overworld" screen so to speak i thought i was doing something wrong, so maybe a message or changing the color of the object or removing it from the water would help. 


Great job!

Developer

Thank you a lot ! I'm glad that we made you laugh a little !

And yes, the game lack some feedback, we enhance it later but we wait until the end of vote to post the final version where the item disappear (and the talkable person are animated and message highlight the fact that you succeed the fishing part).  It will help the game a lot

I liked the atmosphere and the color chose.  I would have liked to be able to fish in body under the vampire.  Also, its Wednesday my dude.  

Developer

Maybe in a net update, who knows ! 

And I would have love to answer to your comment one day earlier but we're glad people get the meme

I was a little confused by the vampire because I got the mirror before meeting them. The music was very relaxing and helped sell the small fishing town atmosphere.

Developer

Yes, if we had the time, we could have made a "first met" dialog just to be sure that people "get the quest" before having the item. But it's a jam and the time is always lacking... But we're are proud to have finish so much and grateful that this little weird atmosphere work !

This was a trip. The readability of objects could use some work, I couldn’t tell what I could and couldn’t interact with. However, I think that sorta adds to the charm of it! Great music, interesting gameplay, weird as heck dialogue, great character animation. What’s not to love?

Developer

Yes, we aggreed on that and work on a new version who upgrade that, with animation on talkable character, and bubble to indicate fishable item. We will post it after the vote session!

And thank for you honest comment !

Absoloutely lovely music! I've never tried anything with PICO-8 but this was really impressive! Really cool stuff!

Developer

Thank you ! Using a new engine is always a little leap of faith, but Pico8 is really well made and fun to try to get in hand.
