Very original, and looks beautiful. I didn't find a lot of strategy to choosing bait though. So for me it mostly became a bit of a clicker game.

Really fun use of theme. I love how you have the dice bouncing around the screen. Small bug/oversight: You can just spam putting fish on the line and if you go fast enough you can put fish on the line while the line is still in the water. The camera shake becomes a lot if you go fast enough too. You can also click and drag the fish in the hall of fishes. The shop keepers dialog is great. I adore the painted style you went for with the art. The music matches really well too. Great job.

Crapshot SaloonNice game!
I really liked the idea of more open to the player fishing mechanics.
I remember with horror the hours of fishing in Terraria, although it was fun.
Your game isn't particularly big for multiple scenes. Changing the fishing scene to and from the store was a bit laggy in terms of background music. You could have had a short animation and sound stop when you pressed the button, and then do the scene transitions already.
Or you could have everything in one scene, just off screen. Especially the player can quite often move between scenes. These are just my suggestions.
It would also be cool to see, instead of drag'n'drop cards with fish, how fish flounder, hanging on my cursor :D

Die Sorcerer!Nice mechanic really made the charming presentation and juice :)
I didn’t really feel like I was influencing much; beside drag-dropping, but it did become kinda hypnotic :)

Slice And DiceVery neat idea. Also charming visuals.
I wish the progression was a bit faster as there is a lot of grind required right now.
Great job!

Dice Knighti love the art in this game! you can see a lot of work was put into this. the dice roll animation is also great.

Protecting ParaDiceVery creative concept and pretty addicting! I found myself excited whenever I got huge rolls and epic fish! I was a bit unsure what the numbers next to the dice symbols meant, and an option to sell all your fish at once would've been nice. But overall really solid game, I enjoyed it a lot!

Loaded DicePretty art and satisfying gameplay. It does start off a bit slow but eventually gets more engaging.

Cheater DealerFun, fast and engaging. Super satisfying shake and sound effects when catching some serious fish, nicely done!

Character Sheets, PleaseYessss, so pleased to see someone made a fishing game. I had pondered the idea but couldn't quickly figure out a way to mash dice and fishing together- but I like how you've gone about it, its pretty fun! Also the audio that plays when you roll well during fishing- love that, that's really good.
