The art and Animations are top notch! I had a lot of fun with this one, just wish there was a little more complexity. Excellent work!

I loved the concept of the game where you have to save fish from hooks! I think it would make a great mobile game if you add one or two more mechanics to make the game even more interesting :) But the initial idea is already very cool!

Submitted

Really good game! It has a perfect blend and everything comes together.

Developer

Glad you like it, thanks for playing!

Really awesome game! Love the art and sounds, and getting the boats to crash into each other and freeing the fish from the hooks! I wish there was an indicator for when the dash is available again since it's hard to time when it comes back. This is really fun and polished! :D

Developer

A dash indicator was probably the most requested feature, and I had it coded, I just ran out of time before I could make art for it. So even I wanted it in place. Thanks for the feedback and for playing!!!

Really excellent aesthetic with lots of good punchiness to the game feel. I love the little animation of the boats blowing up! I agree that a leaderboard would encourage more replay. I would also suggest making the time period a little longer and possibly adding a few mechanics to encourage destroying boats quickly, such as losing points when fish are hooked. Overall, really great work!

Developer

I have gotten tons of feedback about the time limit. Originally releasing fish and blowing up boats was going to add to your timer, but I couldn't get it balanced in time. Thanks for the feedback and for playing!

Submitted

Launching the fish into the boats was fun. The outlined visuals were good as well.

Funnily enough, our teams first idea for the game jam was to flip the roles of fishing as well!

Developer

I was trying to figure out something that wasn't being done in every other game, so glad it landed.  Thanks for playing!

Cute visuals, great music, overall polished entry ! Good job !

Developer

Thanks!  Glad you thought so.

Adorable graphics and perfect audio for the tone. Big props for making both a cozy/practice mode and a timed score attack mode. Knocking the boats together is satisfying and it feels great to un-hook (ey, there it is) your fish friends and turn it around on the fishermen. My only complaint is that I wish I could have also weaponized the turtles. :)

I really should have used the turtles better.  I wanted to have something that you couldn't interact wtih, but they ended up so cute.  They really should have been a super bomb or something.

I love the theme of fish fighting back! Great game!

i rate this game 400 hooks out of 40 fish out of 21 boats out of 4 hospitals.
very cool . . . . . .

If this ever gets a box release, I am using this as an official review!  Thanks for playing.

Submitted

Fishies are cute! Love the music choice too.

Developer

Glad you liked the fishies!  Thanks for playing.

Submitted

The art is very cute ! And the game is chill and fun. Good job !

Developer

Thanks for playing!

This is AWESOME! I absolutely love the art (the ships coming over the horizon was an especially clean feature) and sound effects when you get a hit off. Extremely satisfying to knock a fish off the line with the dash, though it seems like the optimal way to play is to drag one boat into another which has a fish hooked to score 25+25+10 points. If you work on the game after the jam, I think the dash mechanic to get the other fish off the hooks should be the main gameplay feature--it's so fun! Nicely done!

Developer

Thanks for all the feedback!  If I work on it more, there is a TON I would fix and modify.  Glad you enjoyed it!

At first I thought the goal was to put the fish onto the hooks, so I dragged the hooks in front of the fish. But upon further reflection and a second attempt, I figured it out. Save the fishies! ♥

Submitted

Same xD
