Graphics were really good, but the gameplay was repetitive i think. You should add image of you game in your post i think.

The fishing mechanic was a bit too simplistic and there was a problem where I had to click multiple times before a fishing line was cast. If you added some effect for the catching of the fish (seeing them being reeled into the boat, or for hooking them) it would be more fun to play in my opinion with that extra visual feedback. The graphics were really nice.

I would find this game much more playable if you could re-fill your fuel once in awhile.

If I have to complain something it would be the lack of music and sound-effects.

**Overall** I enjoyed playing this game, the aesthetichs were awesome, and a simple gameplay that fit the theme. Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

Neat looking. Would be really great as mini-game in some big game.

The clicks on fish spots are not always processed, especially when you click several in rapid procession.

Nice game. Like @liquidbrain said, it'd be great if you could re-fill your fuel somehow, it ends so soon.

The graphics look really great. I do agree with other people that there should be a way to refuel somehow. I also think there should be a little fish on the end of your line to show that you caught one for effect.

Nice job. Adding a refueling mechanic in addition to fishing would make this much more interesting.

Artstyle is nice, the gameplay feels a little simplistic though. Reminded me of wind waker.

Cool graphics. Not sure how it ties to the theme, but mechanically a good start. Nice job.

Neat little game! I LOVE these graphics. The voxel fish look especially cool. I'm not super into score-attack, so the gameplay wasn't really my thing, but I think the overall package is pretty darn good. Nice work!

I liked the graphics a lot, but not so much the gameplay. Maybe if you could get some fuel back and keep fishing it would be better, or some music or sound. Anyway, good job!

I agree with @mik3 and it's strange that you can catch fish several times in the same place .. but I enjoyed playing, thanks ! ;)

Graphics and animation were excellent! As others have said, because the fishing spots stay, I could just cast at the same cluster of four all the time, and I wish the fuel tied in with the fishing.

Could do with some polish and some sound, as well as a few extra mechanics perhaps to stop things becoming too monotonous, but I actually quite enjoyed it. It's a fun little twist on the theme, and while the game could have done more to incorporate the theme, I though it was cool. And yes, the graphics are cool! :grin: You know, a post LD version of this could make for a really fun mobile game, I'd love to play it. Either way, good show!
