"!! The game requests latest version of Java. !!"

Yeah, something is wrong with my version so it doesn't run.

tanser 2015-04-21 11:35

@TaoPhoenix I'm sorry to hear that, it might be actually that the native implementations did not match your Java's. We now have put both x64 and x84 version in archives. Everything should be working now and if not then its not anything on our end as a problem.

Very good artwork

blan4 2015-04-21 12:47

Oh, art is amazing. Nice work!

The menu ran beautifully, however when I clicked to play, the game ran, the audio played, and the UI showed. The game however did not! Such a shame as I was looking forward to playing this.

elpaulo 2015-04-21 17:33

I can't run it.

diventurer 2015-04-21 17:35

I love the art!

artylo 2015-04-21 17:35

You might have a bug. Menu is all good, but then it just shows a white screen with the music. (И май сте българи така че здрасти)

@Artylo
We will look into it, thanks for the feedback. And ye you are right. :)

tanser 2015-04-21 18:31

@Frewz , @elpaulo, @Artylo I looked into it and found what the problem was. The shaders we were using were for the newer versions of openGL. So i've changed it, and now if the openGL doesnt support the new shaders we are using our basic shaders :) Thanks for the feedback! It really was helpful :)

Beautiful art!

borgi 2015-04-21 19:16

I could not start it neither :(

cstudios 2015-04-21 19:16

only white screen shows up after starting the game... but amazing music :D

spriters2000 2015-04-21 19:29

I tried to run it on my 64 bits windows 8.1 pc, but it doesn't work

eddynardo 2015-04-21 19:29

Amazing art.Really good sound fx.The gameplay may not be challenging and a bit boring but the graphics are outstanding!

nibblebitsstudio 2015-04-21 19:29

The game doesn't open the gameplay part. I click on Play and the screen stay white.

cezel_ 2015-04-21 19:30

The graphics and music are wonderfull and really set the mood well, the gameplay is solid and it's pretty fun!

arttut02 2015-04-21 19:36

Main menu looked nice and the music was pleasant, but like some others I got the white screen when I hit the play. Hope you get it fixed, because I would like to try this...

daltostronic 2015-04-21 19:39

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! holly! congrats!

tanser 2015-04-21 20:12

We applied few fixes, the white screen should be resolved. Please do respond if it still appears.

mekuri 2015-04-21 20:18

I only get a white screen with music, and UI overlay. I can even get a combo of some sort when spamming space- But not able to play.

mikkellevisen 2015-04-21 20:41

Beautiful game! The gameplay becomes a little repetitive after a few tries, but the music sounds and graphics makes it a fun ride

Cool entry guys, really loved the graphics. The hand painted aesthetic is beautiful and the fish design are quirky. The controls feel a bit unintuitive however, aiming is also a but sluggish. That said this is a great entry

defacid 2015-04-23 01:51

I get the same error as Smiley. I've been trying for 20 min to get it to work. :(

mildmojo 2015-04-23 04:26

It's a small thing, but I'd recommend against RAR files for distribution, especially for a jam game. Every major OS has a native ZIP extractor, but not a one of them comes with a RAR tool. I'm on a borrowed machine with neither a working java nor a RAR tool, so I'm afraid I'm hosed on this one. =(

arcturusdeluxe 2015-04-23 19:40

Nice sense of mood in this game. Love the painterly art style and the music. Gameplay is functional but a bit repetitive. Overall though, good work!

2r 2015-04-24 09:42

Pretty cool and art is great!

prowler 2015-04-24 14:53

Amazing artwork and good gameplay. I like your JAVA attempt. I do work as a JAVA developer for my company and all I have to say is: JAVA can be your friend ... if it likes to be your friend ;)

Yes, the game is a bit repetitive but let's say this is a zen-like attempt to calm down the player from the anger of the real world :D

Good job!

goblin 2015-04-24 15:29

Very beatiful art and music. Good job!

The artworks are really beautiful. Impressive for such a short amount of time. The music was also fitting wuite nicely.
The gameplay is a little simple. I would have loved to see some more diversity or some spin on this basic formula for a game.
Just spamming space worked best for me, so I missed the Game Over screen since it restarts when pressing space ;)
Still a great entry to the jam :)

frozenfire92 2015-04-25 20:18

Cool idea, I don't think the laser was an unconventional weapon but rather unconventional for fishing. The art was fantastic. The music was good but too short, easy to tell it was looping.

vidar 2015-04-26 12:56

The art was amazing and very moody and I had fun playing for a while, even though the actual gameplay felt pretty standard.

goerp 2015-05-02 17:26

Haha, I like the fact that you are on this dramy floating beautiful, idyllic island slaughtering the wildlife!
Graphics have a nice hand drawn quality to them.

Good piano sound, but the music was not really for me, after playing for a while it got on my nerves.

But nice game.

kaiseangames 2015-05-07 03:50

Nice little game.

I'ts x86, not x84, but that doesn't make the game any worse :)

mathmadlen 2015-05-10 02:49

Great art and music, it makes it oddly relaxing even when you're swarmed with fish - or maybe fishing feels relaxing no matter the circumstances... Nice work!

mossy-frog 2015-05-11 09:58

Very cool little game. I love the art it looks fantastic and te music sets the atmosphere nicely. The shooting mechanic felt just right and was easy to understand. Well done on both art and code! Awesome entry.
