Cool fishing game. Enjoyed the artwork! Very clean looking.

Great game with nice graphics.

dustoutgames 2014-04-28 03:55

It's beautiful to look at.

greg-power 2014-04-28 03:55

I liked your art - you built a cool world with one image. The game reminded me of orisinal games, so that's awesome! Maybe too many evil fish? I was getting electrocuted and pounded left and right!

I loved the art work and the humor of your game. What I found annoying is that sometimes we have to wait a long time to appear some touchable items.

porousnapkin 2014-04-28 04:06

Fantastic job with the art! Great looking game.

I have no idea what a bell hook is. I was intruiged by this game though and I did have a bit of fun figuring out what to do. Your art style was wonderful, very well made assets. I ran into a bug after my third catch though, everything stopped spawning.

It was a black screen after the loading bar finished on newgrounds, but it's fine on stencyl.

There are a bunch of fish that can hurt me so I was a voiding them until I accidentally caught one and realized it was a timing thing instead of just good fish bad fish.

The art is really nice though.

I am in love with these mechanics. It feels so satisfying just playing this.

nition 2014-04-28 06:23

Nicely polished for a 48-hr game; well done.

lacaranian 2014-04-28 06:28

Those lobsters were a nuisance... but got some good desert fishing done. Nice game!

paperblurt 2014-04-28 07:47

I always get amazed by how great devs are at graphics!

dragonxvi 2014-04-28 07:51

Nice little fishing game, lots've different fish each with their own nifty gimmick too!

madhoe 2014-04-28 07:54

Oh my god. Lovely, lovely graphics. Plays well, but I'm not so sure what is good and what is bad, and how it really works.

alucard-j 2014-04-28 08:53

This gets complex very quickly, nice diversity in types and mechanics, good fun. Looks great too =]

honcho 2014-04-28 08:58

Loved your art. Interesting and fun mechanics. Feedback was very clear, I understood what was going on-screen. Intuitive controls

dreii 2014-04-28 09:29

Really nice, beautifull graphics

terraco 2014-04-28 09:32

Really hard to control. Had no idea where the house was or how to fish the things out. Figured it out after a while.

customphase 2014-04-28 09:37

That was very interesting to play. The visuals are ok, sounds too. Lacking some progression though, like spending money on upgrades, or maybe going deeper. Also the fish that rams you constantly is annoying as hell :)

mikeypb 2014-04-28 12:26

Looks nice, plays nice. It's certainly tricky to get the more point-worthy fish! Often I'd just come up with a grub :/

burgerdare 2014-04-28 13:02

I like it. Escalates into a hectic bullet hell kind of deal very quickly.

tiffi_gaming 2014-04-28 19:46

Newsground doesn't work for me. Stencyl does. Game was fine, but I was unsure what to do... Graphics and theme were awesome though

mactinite 2014-04-28 20:03

The art was really awesome! A sand fishing sim is a game I never thought i would want.

huruey 2014-04-28 20:12

Lovely graphics :D

kbm0 2014-04-28 20:29

Really loved the graphics - reminded me of Ridiculous Fishing. Great job! :)

colorvade 2014-04-28 21:59

Unfortunately I made a grave mistake and the Newgrounds upload wasn't working for the first day, but it should be working fine now.

Thank you to those who pointed out the problem.

burquitlambadgers 2014-04-29 01:59

Blown away by your art!

ceosol 2014-04-29 02:14

Difficult to play with a touchpad, but still nice game. You really put a lot of time in making a variety of spawns.

jaredsartin 2014-04-29 02:25

Didn't seem intuitive enough... not sure how to play it... looked cool!

jellycakes 2014-04-29 03:17

Really atmospheric and relaxing. Pretty nice fishing game with some interesting things to catch. Really nice job!

raiyumi 2014-04-29 14:30

Nice graphics and real relaxing fishing game. :)

rnlf 2014-04-29 17:41

Nice artwork and take on the theme!

travislucia 2014-04-29 22:31

Good artwork, fun idea

tchem 2014-04-30 01:37

Great idea and conception,,, i like the artwork.

photon 2014-04-30 03:24

Very cool for a quick fishing game! Presentation is good and all the different fish are nice incentives to keep playing as you try to figure out how each one works. Haven't figured out that dark blob fish yet though... :o

xaychru04 2014-04-30 16:05

Haha cool idea, and very nice graphics, good job! :)

cakencode 2014-04-30 22:27

Pretty nice game! It looks great and handles pretty well. Unfortunately I wasn't sure what I was doing, or what I was fishing for. The little mini game after you catch each fish was fun, but when I first encountered it I thought it was strange and sort of random. But I enjoyed exploring a bit and it was interesting!

lonewookie 2014-05-01 00:04

Very cool. I love that you used sand instead of water for a fishing game!

saintheiser 2014-05-01 06:55

Lags for me a lot. After getting damage few times my bell didn't work anymore...

christinaneofotistou 2014-05-01 10:48

the intro screen is SO gorgeous! And lovely graphics in general! I second the remark about too many deadly fish. More positive reinforcement to the player means they will play longer (sometimes :) )

supermini_man 2014-05-01 21:01

Nice game, the "fishing in the desert" is a cool and original take on the theme. I liked the creatures and how they interact. The art is very well done, too.

thorig 2014-05-02 10:59

After I scared away a fish like beasty I could not hook anything. Still enjoyed it.

ehtd 2014-05-03 15:20

Nice game, I think learning how to fish was part of the fun

randoman 2014-05-04 15:42

I find this game very charming.

sonnybone 2014-05-04 20:44

I dig the unique creatures and the overall concept. Could use some more polish and extras, of course, but that's only if you plan on extending the idea. Great work!

badgerpriest 2014-05-06 01:56

I really enjoyed how many different sea creatures there are, all with different behavior. Unfortunately, the control scheme made me click outside of the game a lot -- some sort of fullscreen mode would probably be ideal for a game like this.
