The gameplay was slow, but well done.
Ended up being a bit tedious after a while, but overall solid and functional.
i really liked it - `fina fiskar'! definitely it has the cute factor going. i just realised i stopped right before finishing the last challenge - d'oh! anyway i think it would be improved by extremely silly hook-lowering sounds and some funny music - not sure how emscripten copes with audio though
It was a little slow but you managed to achieve a fair amount in the timeframe. Well done!
Fun. It feels like a complete game due to the fact that you have put in multiple missions. I think some audio would have been nice though. I like the challenge that the waves provides when trying to get fish on the hook.
Simple idea. Well executed. Good work.
Good work. I'll agree it's a bit slow but got through it all. Audio would've been wonderful in this.
I finished the whole game. Nice work, especially for what looks like your first Ludum Dare game.
What I liked: My favorite thing was that you made the surface of the sea active, that you made it get rougher through the game, and that you made it impact my movement. I also liked that you had a complete package that had progressive missions that ran to completion, I stuck around and finished the whole game because you told me there were six challenges and I knew I could complete them. The "big thing" at the end was a nice humorous mystery.
What I personally would have changed: The pace - I would have made everything a bit faster, including the boat, the rope, and the impact of waves on the boat. BUT that is personal preference! I like more arcade-type games, but it's totally fine if the slower pace was a deliberate taste, after all it's a fishing game.
I struggled badly to move on the final mission. There was a flying fish just left of me when I started, but I could not get there. I held down the left button but the ship was stuck in the waves. I'm afraid I never QUITE understood how the waves affected my ship. The final mission for me, I had to find a flying fish to finish, and I spent like 7-10 minutes just holding down the right button, inching along extreeeeeemely slowly.
Still, it was worth it to have the sea get rough, cuz that was my favorite part!
Lastly, a technical note. I ran it in firefox and it kinda worked, but the surface of the sea was not rendered. I wouldn't have known this if I didn't see your screenshot, but I did so I switched over to chrome and it worked fine.
Anyway, a lot of rambling there, but good job making a complete game with some nice touches!
Thank you pkenney I will take this in account for the next Ludum dare :)
The general reflection seams to be the speed of the game being a bit slow and adding some audio. Thank you everyone for your comments they are all very constructive and I will think of this for the next ludum dare!
Nice and relaxing game. It would have been nice to add music and sound effects. I liked the way waves move the ship, good job.
Btw, I didn't expect to fish a submarine.
