I love the art an polish. What's actually happening is a little confusing (I assume that'll be more apparent once there's a description :))... are you a plane crashing into the water, are you supposed to be underwater... Where do the whales go...? But it's fun to harpoon from a plane!

Just a heads up, it seems to run fine for me, but it won't take any input so I cannot actually play it.

latency 2015-04-20 01:27

Oh and so you know, i'm using the latest version of chrome on windows7

fuzzywuzzie 2015-04-20 01:45

Screenshots look interesting but like @Matsuki, I can't give any input so can't play it :(

parahunter 2015-04-20 01:58

I really like the silliness of the game and the art is great together with the music. The controls could use some more work though.

2015-04-20 02:18

Controls were a bit confusing. But hey, you gotta nuke something.

pawige 2015-04-20 03:15

I was also unable to play. It didn't seem to take input.

rantt 2015-04-20 03:15

Really fun game. The are and music were great, and it was funny to try and ride out a Tsunami while harpooning whales mid-flight...lol. Great job!

superpokeunicorn 2015-04-20 03:37

Only the most practical form of fishing. You got a legitimate laugh out of me XD

misterwalter 2015-04-20 05:03

Excellent concept! The controls were a bit too floaty for me, I had a lot of trouble staying in the air for more than 10-15 seconds. Still great fun though, and the hook was perfect!

Input are not working for me :( Firefox 37.0.1 on MacOS X 10.10.3

braindeadgeo 2015-04-20 11:49

Had to press tab a few times to get the input to work but it's a nice idea, kind of like two Vlambeer games in one!

benko 2015-04-20 13:42

Loved the controls and the music! :)

phobos001 2015-04-20 15:17

Harpoon guns are awesome :) Pretty fun little game! Was kinda hard to control at times, but I assume that was part of the design :P

skylinegames 2015-04-20 15:23

i wish it worked :(

philippeander 2015-04-20 15:49

good fun

amras0000 2015-04-20 16:35

I had to switch to firefox to get it to work, and even then I was only able to control the game until I died once, and then I lost the ability to provide inputs again. Since the game threw a unity blurb at the start, could you maybe provide a standalone?

frokes 2015-04-20 16:52

I'm not able to play it :C The website throws an error at me and then it loads the game. When the game is loaded i see the menu but it doesn't respond to the spacebar. But it looks really good

pythong 2015-04-20 17:39

it says SPACE TO BEGIN, but when i do, nothing happens :/ Firefox on a mac (mavericks). my guess is the unity iframe, bc it only loaded the second time i refreshed your webpage

mcfish 2015-04-20 17:59

I managed to get the game to accept input, but couldn't figure out, how to kill whales :-/

td5 2015-04-20 18:01

Nice music and graphics, plus odd but fun gameplay. Everything worked fine for me, I didn't have to do anything special to make the game work, but the lack of a loading screen had me worried that something was broken, but I waited it out and all was well. Fun game :)

goutye 2015-04-20 18:25

Great design. But the whales need to stay in peace :X I don't want to kill some of these cute creatures <3 Thank you for the play! Sounds were perfect

sbarrio 2015-04-20 20:44

Awesome graphics and audio. I loved the idea and the craziness of it. Superb entry!

ianburnette 2015-04-20 21:33

I get a real Ridiculous Fishing vibe from this. Excellent execution.

kabutakogames 2015-04-20 22:14

I really enjoyed this. I liked the way the controls really made me feel like I was wrestling with the plane to keep it in the air. Using the harpoon felt good too. Well done!

nuclear-mosquito 2015-04-21 14:05

Finally I get to play this. Awesome little short game. Hilarious idea.

latency 2015-04-21 16:30

I'm glad i checked back, the fixed worked for me, Had to use the workaround for chrome, but it was worth. That was a lot of fun.

teesquared 2015-04-21 19:28

Great take on the theme. Very polished with nice visuals and controls. I had no issues running the game (IE) but I was a bit confused playing. You may find yourself wailing in this whale of a game.

frondeus 2015-04-22 14:04

That music <3

alangamebot 2015-04-25 06:08

I thought this was great. Reminded me of Looping and Luftrausers. Love the music!

scumbly 2015-04-27 22:50

Nice work!

the-force 2015-04-28 01:51

Most random idea that works I've seen so far. loled

mrshoestore 2015-05-11 00:31

love the look, music is a bit repetitive, and its a little confusing at what to do. Took me a few tries to grasp what was happening.
