Pretty cool, soathing water sounds are always a good thing :]

Creative, fun, and very, very good graphics! Super polished I think! Nice sounds, nice everything! Good job!

Very nice! It runs so slow on web though!

hyoga-3d 2013-12-16 17:33

It is true alvarop :/
Unfortunately it runs a little slow on some navigators, but on the Windows version it runs smooth, you can try it if you want, to see the mistery that lies beneath the sea :)

Looks great, and the gameplay certainly works. Theme's a bit of a stretch.

hyoga-3d 2013-12-16 18:13

@okmmjyygv thanks had a lot of work trying to make a simple and coloured visual, but keeping it appealing.

@TobiasNL Nice that you like the sound of water! Thanks :D!

@joppiesaus Yes we tried to polish the most we could, because in the past we had made some games don't giving the amount of attention to things like a help, to say to the player what he need to do and a menu too, so this time give proper attention to this kind of things.

@PEBKAC thanks, one of the things that we focused on this game was to make a gradual difficulty to it, so it starts easy and gets harder.

Super!

hyoga-3d 2013-12-16 22:08

Thanks @occash!

Best name ever.
I really like the 'evolving' bait twist! Maybe you could even do away with informing the player, the 'order' of attraction?

Great artwork too! You should be proud!

hyoga-3d 2013-12-16 23:22

thanks @OriginalBigDan.

Nice you liked the name :D
We thought about putting the silhouette of the next fish on the hud, but then we decided to just let this order on the select stage screen, Thanks once again.

It was amazing fishing a whale from my small boat :D
Nice job on the evolving background, and all the animals are great.

mekuri 2013-12-17 17:10

Nice game. I liked the graphics as well as the audio.
The game is very well polished. Good job.

evilindiegames 2013-12-17 17:15

I like the art style!

skysthelimit 2013-12-17 17:24

Simple and fun. pretty innovative too. Amazing how far one bait can actually get you, fits the theme really well.

Only criticism is that the sound was a little off. would have been nice to have some sound cues for catching a fish, achieving goals etc. Also using the sound of running water doesn't really work for a game that is set underwater. Some music might have worked better.

"thanks had a lot of work trying to make a simple and coloured visual, but keeping it appealing."

You mean copying the style of Vlambeer's Ridiculous Fishing verbatim? I wouldn't try to claim you came up with the style, especially when copying a game that's been notoriously ripped off in the past.

Gameplay is obviously influenced by ridiculous fishing but not too much, which is good! It's a nice twist on the formula, the line tension adds a lot to it. Well done guys!

hyoga-3d 2013-12-17 17:34

@Colapsydo that was the idea, fishing giant fishs in a little boat :D

@Mekuri Thanks, we tryed to polish the most we could.

@evilindiegames Thanks!

@skysthelimit yes everything is possible in games, even fishing a whale with a little bait :D
And yes, maybe we could have added some more feedback when acomplishing things, thanks for the tip.

hyoga-3d 2013-12-17 17:39

@BrothersT yes, you are right, it was our inspiration, their game it's a máster piece and being compared it it's na honor

thatguy 2013-12-17 17:44

Clean graphics and fun gameplay. Great work!

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 18:46

Good job! Liked the art, very harmonic! I just missed a music theme, water sounds are too much calm D: The gameplay works very well. Congrats!

local-minimum 2013-12-17 20:06

Nice game. It took me a great while to get started though because the color change on the bait button was too subtle.

frederickk 2013-12-18 03:00

I loved it!
Beatiful and simple!
My biggest complain is that, at least with the web version, the standalone I'll test later, as deep you go, the game becomes slower, and slower. Could play just up to the orca.
Other this technical problem, great job guys!
Congratz! :)

zkenshin 2013-12-18 17:32

Really liked the art. :)

fate 2013-12-18 23:25

Great game! I loved the graphics :)

jgpicatoste 2013-12-21 12:02

Not that original, but it's polished and runs smoothly. Good job.

lacutis 2013-12-22 03:38

Very creative! The graphics are nice and it used the theme very creatively.

michail 2013-12-30 15:13

Cool game with pretty graphics! Discovering new types of fish was very enjoyable, and the last one was really huge. However, I didn't manage to get this monster out.
