Hi there. Game runs okay but couldn't work out how to catch even one fish, they just seem to run away from bait hook. Shame no background sounds.

I caught all 9 fish. I enjoyed the retro graphics a lot and how there wasn't a lot of flashy things going on. I'm really impatient, but I appreciate how the game does have a relaxing feel to it.
do you know that sometimes we don't catch a fish but a frog, a tortle, a jellyfish... ???
(it made me laugh!)
The game is relaxing OR not challenging (with frenetic click, you can finish it quickly...)
Nice setting, the game would be a lot better with some bgm - i know it is hard to do that in the compo, my game also does not have any music, but your entry begs for a nice, relaxing tune.
Hard to catch a fish, as it is in real life. I tried to follow your tips but couldn't catch any of them - maybe you could make some of them dumber, bitting the bait more easily than others.
Overall a cool patience-based game, good job!
Good idea but I found the fish very hard to catch. Also there didn't seem to be any way to win/lose the game - or maybe I just didn't find it. Nice graphics and I liked that the hook could be caught in stuff floating in the water
I think it would've been better to make the "clickbox" on the fish a bit bigger so catching is easier. Keep it up!
Hey, not bad. Short and simple, those fishes were pretty tricky, but managed to catch them all.
I think that game would benefit a lot if you added a timer as it would give players something to improve on each time they played the game. Solid game though.
Hey, interesting controls for a fishing game. I eventually caught one fish, but it was a little frustrating trying to time things. Wasn't sure what the logs and lilypads were for, either. Anyway, it was nice and playable. Good job!
Gotta catch 'em all !
This reminds me of that electric level in alleycat.
Very relaxing. Couldn't catch any fish, but good job anyways :)
Couldn't catch a fish.
Took me quite a while to get the hang of it, but I do appreciate that the game requires more than just pointing and clicking. This makes it relaxing, but not boring and thus really well-suited as a small distraction.
seems like a nice little distraction game, but boy howdy did i have a tough time catching any fish
I really like the graphics! Its very calm, I wish there was a soundtrack, like a calm one for fishing :). I didnt get any fish :(, maybe too hard? Overall, I like it
The mechanics in this game were interesting. I like the way your bobber would get caught on debris but still attempt to follow your cursor like a real fishing line would. I also like the way you had to "lead" the to catch them (though it was frustrating that some fish would dart away even if I wasn't moving the mouse).
Thank you all for the comments so far! I'm just glad that you don't utterly hate it! ^^
I thought they were frogs till I caught one. Too much frustration for my liking but very nice one screen concept.
