Nice. This reminds me of the Stardew valley fishing. Congrats on finishing the jam.

Thank you! I was 100% inspired by Stardew valleys fishing mechanic .  Also congrats to finishing the jam! I remember playing your game when the jam finished and how blown away it was on how polished it was!

The fish catching mechanic is very neat, very difficult but very satisfying when I do catch one! Great game! :D

Thanks the mechanic was quite hard to code. I did ask some people for feedback about the hardness of it and some of them did say it was very hard so I tried to make it we easy but also hard at the same time

Love the art style, and the music kind of makes me think of Terraria, which is nice and relaxing. Also pretty sure I caught a shark or something so thats a win!

Thank you! It took me some time finding music that would fit the game so I'm glad you liked it.

Liked the concept! Would be nice if more visuals / queues that a fish might about to be caught.

Thank you for the feedback! I didn't think about that when I was making it. In the future I will remember to think about stuff like that :D
