Wow, I loved this game, The art is great, the sound is great, the game is hilarious (Rainbow Trouts taste fabulous XD) Really cant think of anything wrong with it for a 48 hour ludum dare game...

andrewkennedy 2014-04-28 02:59

This was hysterical - I loved every minute of it. The ending was fantastic. (PS Did you do a lot of fishing in Animal Crossing?)

andrewjamesadams 2014-04-28 03:00

Best game I've played so far... very nice.

tiffi_gaming 2014-04-28 03:03

My hand hurts... totally worth it!

danman9914 2014-04-28 03:04

@andrewkennedy I did! There is even an Animal Crossing reference in the game (The Crucian Carp, "Carpe Diem!")

fuzzywuzzie 2014-04-28 03:23

I really like the art and the sound effects are perfect, but I can't seem to catch any fish!

fuzzywuzzie 2014-04-28 03:24

Ok, figured it out! This is surprisingly A LOT of fun!

thein 2014-04-28 04:02

Awesome game! Although I kinda cheated by dragging my mouse upside down across my desk lol. The ending was really cool.

theholychicken 2014-04-28 04:51

I don't know why but I am grinning like an idiot every time I catch a fish :D

theholychicken 2014-04-28 04:53

XD arctic plytypus
It just gets better and better!

iamspencer 2014-04-28 05:27

You sit on a cold frozen lake, and wait for fish to bite your line. I don't know how, but you made that actually fun. Congratulations. haha, in all seriousness this was great, loved the art, the feel of the game, and really enjoyed the epic ending. Made me feel like a badass-fisher, well done! :)

primaerfunktion 2014-04-28 07:37

This is really fun and there are a couple of great ideas in there!

nonentheless 2014-04-28 12:56

I like the style, though I hate scrolling game is fun, nice job!

customphase 2014-04-28 12:59

Nice. Really nice. I can see myself playing this for at least half an hour more. Good job! A little bit of music would be good though.

okkolobr 2014-04-28 13:00

WOW ! Nice graphics, a genius gameplay idea. Great game here ! Congrats !

liens 2014-04-28 13:04

Nice one, great ending!

lars-faust 2014-04-28 13:04

Hahaha, that ending. Fantastic.

Perfect execution of your idea. Very funny, colorful and straightforward. Nice one.

frankbsad 2014-04-28 13:08

Great game. I couldn't figure out how to catch the last fish though.

ysty 2014-04-28 13:08

That was really great. Good progression, and I loved the end. I wonder who's buying all those severed limbs from the player, though?

agent_ 2014-04-28 13:20

The game was simple... but awesome! Very fun to see what you found next even if it was a severed head.

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-04-28 16:22

Excellent, the ending is really fun!

xhunterko 2014-04-29 01:40

What the...XD But, but I didn't catch all the, oh who cares! Great little game!

mattv 2014-04-29 01:42

severed arm is only worth 1.40 a pound?!?

terraco 2014-04-29 08:29

That's one patient Inuit!

franklins-ghost 2014-04-29 12:24

Loved everything about this one and the ending was a nice touch.

papygaragos 2014-04-29 17:27

That little danse!
Great game, I especially like the art

dohan 2014-05-01 15:14

Great game! The use of the mouse wheel is perfect for this.

danialhyatt 2014-05-01 18:25

I loved it! And I have to agree, the mouse scroll was a great idea. the day/night detail put a smile on my face!

aaronjbaptiste 2014-05-01 19:14

Haha such a great game, a little too short though, once you get it it's pretty easy. Loved the ending, great work.

conormn 2014-05-02 14:33

Really great from start to finish. Had a lot of fun playing :)

crefossus 2014-05-03 01:36

Vector graphics very stylish many little polish features like the player body animation for reeling in fish. Love the ending!

Maybe test out a different input? Like a circular option?

crocantidepollo 2014-05-03 18:16

That was hilarious! Great work!

spotco 2014-05-04 11:27

bugged for me at 14 fish (number did not increment any more)

donovanwu 2014-05-06 05:41

Just as I think there is nothing new, I fished the Ancient Monster! Nicely done!

mortus 2014-05-09 18:32

I've caught only 12 fish before the ending, so it was quite simple to upgrade everything, but I guess you've done it easy on purpose, to ensure more people will reach the end. Would love some challenge in catching the fish along with long scrolling. Love the ending though! Hilarious game and well made.

gwa 2014-05-09 18:56

I love the last Fish :))))))))

zebi24 2014-05-09 20:36

Really cool game, liked it! :)

managore 2014-05-10 00:27

Somehow you made fishing fun! Really awesome work!

nicom 2014-05-10 03:33

Nice art, animation, interesting gameplay and neat controls, great job:)!

diptoman 2014-05-10 06:00

That was epic! Really liked everything about it, though I got a little less interested when I had upgraded everything to the max. Figured might as well try to catch all 24 fish, but then got the ending. It was awesome.
The ending music was cool, and the atmosphere created with the wind howling was really amazing. Really great work.

loxo 2014-05-10 13:22

Interesting game concept. I started the game without a mouse and thought the controls are torture. Also the game got boring really fast. I read a few of the comments and was surprised that others had actually a lot of fun playing your game. So I searched for a mouse and was surprised that the game experience totally changed while using it. With a mouse the game is fun to play and doesn't get boring. The ending is quite fun, but after finding the head, I expected a slightly different one: A big fish jumps out of the water and attacks the player. After the separated body parts fell in the water the ice is slowly closing again and the next innocent fisherman comes along. So the story starts all over again.

mcapraro 2014-05-10 14:44

i really liked this game. it was ultra simple and the pace was very slow, which is nice actually. great job!

georgebroussard 2014-05-10 15:19

Very slick and nice game. Was wondering when/how it would end :) Nice job and great art!

snoother 2014-05-10 15:33

Heh, I love that ending. Maybe could have been a touch more challenging, but the concept was really fun and the game was just about the right length.

zkenshin 2014-05-11 02:30

Cute entry, well done. :)

lorniebear 2014-05-11 13:10

My mum loves it!

jsmars 2014-05-16 18:29

Nice mood! Lovely game!

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-05-17 14:49

That ending scared me! hahahah Really nice entry!!

badlydrawnrod 2014-05-17 21:27

Very well put together and an excellent ending!

eriku 2014-05-19 21:43

Very nice little game with a twist. Nice work playing with the idea.
