This was such a greaat little game! I really like how you guys did the fishing mechanics! The artwork was also fantastic. Great submission! I also made a fishing game so feel free to check it out if you want to but I think you guys crushed it!

Thank you so much for playing! Yeah we would love to change up the gameplay if we have a second go at it haha. The other locations were originally going to have custom art for each location when you clicked into them but now there is just one key piece at each location and as you gain key pieces the dots disappear letting you know you have collected that ones key piece~
The art is so cute and I really like the environment. Unfortunately I couldn't get past the tutorial on the first level. I'm releasing J and it launches me up but it just won't clear over the wall even though it looks like it should. I'll come back to this again later just in case it's user error. I hope I get to see the rest of it because even just that beginning area looks great!
Thank you so much for playing! I'm sorry that the progression felt too difficult! We wanted to make it so that in the beginning it takes a little bit of time collecting some money and then it starts to get easier as you go. When the fish turns around and you hear the audio cue that means it is fighting again you and if you continue to crank it will snap your line. Thank you again for playing and for the feedback! I want to make another fishing game in the future and this definitely helps :D
Challenge of gold is certainly a challenge! The platforming is unforgiving lmao. the character would often get stuck just trying to jump up to the next block but if the controls were adjusted a little bit I think it would be a slam dunk rage platformer. I wished there was just bit more variety when it came to the environment and the music/sound as well but the art that was there was pretty good and the characters were really cute. I liked the little things they would say as you came across them on your adventure!
The idea is pretty solid though it's very confusing to wrap your head around at first. It took quite a bit of trial and error to even figure out the game and even then it felt a little clunky. would have loved to have had a little bit of music to jam to while working through these enemies. The only other feedback is that some of the boards you get make it so you do very little damage which can make it so a battle takes a long time.
All-in-all a pretty quirky game! I bet this would really shine if you had some time to polish it up. Most of the artwork is pretty great so I hope that you update this after the jam!
All-in-all a very ambitious game! Unfortunately there is a lot of variation in the pixel density throughout the game especially with text which makes it difficult to read some of the info. The story is very cute though a bit confusing to follow as well and Its a shame about the lack of music but doing a jam is hard and I can totally understand it slipping through the cracks. The artwork is not bad at all and I bet given more time it could've come together really nicely! Really good effort!
Good question! It could work similar to how the Dirtywave m8 works. Basically having the cursor snap to the grid and having button combos, long key presses, and other buttons to control the interface and input data. Ladd is another example but both of those are limited in the amount of buttons they have so doing it for regular gamepad with have the added benefit of all the extra inputs available! Just a thought though :D
Hi!
I know that controller support isn't usually a priority or even plausible but I know a ton of steamdeck users and ally users that would love controller support so we can easily use a tracker like this on the go! I just wanted to slide this in here! This is amazing though and I can't wait to explore it more.
Hi hi!
My name is lost beach boy and I do sound design and music for games! IF you would like to check out my past work you can listen to it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Mg2ph5vCBeupJJYsnCIJNzJf1vtFFI-o?usp=sha...
If you want some good retro, vaporwave tunes I excel in bringing those retro synth vibes >:D
I also do sound design and foley work so you can get a lot of mileage out of me haha. I hope to hear from my future group soon! You can either reply here or shoot me a message on discord: lostbeachboy
Thank you!!
Hi hi! My name is lost beach boy! I am a sound designer and musician. This would not be my first game jam throw down so I am used to working on audio with short time restraints and limited resources. This time will be a bit different for me since I would love to use only one piece of gear from my studio to make the whole soundtrack (I will be using the dirtywave M8). I thought it would be a ton of fun to add a bit more of a challenge. The foley will be recorded by me physically unless I don't have access to the sounds you are looking for. I do have a library of sound assets already however this allows me to continue to build my library of custom sounds as well as provide custom sounds for your game! You can check out some examples of my past sound work here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ldMwmyhYBCcF5UoveQND-freb_-EcBZY?usp=sha... . If you are interested feel free to leave a message here or shoot me a message on discord @lostbeachboy !

I cover a ton of different genres and styles but lately I have been getting a lot of influence from DnB/jungle, vaporwave, and synthpop! Feel free to reach out on this post or talk to me on discord @lostbeachboy ! Lets make a fun idle game!
