I like the concept of this game. All the graphics work well with each other. It was a little hard to see when the bobber was underwater/yellow. Maybe some sort of feedback like sound or an effect. Great job!
Come Check out our game!

It's "We're going to need a bigger boat" the game.
Good work! Controls were solid and the UI is descriptive. If you add some more polish and improve the actual fishing, this could be a solid game.
This game was brought to you by B.P.
But all jokes aside, this is my favorite submission I have played so far. I really enjoy play cycles that allow the player to progress in rewarding ways like this game has.
I actually think this could be released as a full game if you added more features like different ways to upgrade your boat (maneuverability for example), fish bounties for bonus money, other obstacles, and of course music/sound. Great job!
So I really love the idea behind this game. This could be a super chill and relaxing game. If you polished this a bit and added a cool and interesting story I could spend hours just finishing on the robot seas. I do wish there was a better indicator for when the fish grab the lure.
I also liked the idea, but it ended up not so fun to play because I hardly ever found any fish and most of the time just sailed aimlessly. (There seemed to have one spot at a time roughly on the same place each time.) I really believe that with more spots to fish this game would improve noticiably. Movement felt smooth and didn't see any noticiably bug.
The risk of sinking increasing with fish caught and the waves were cool and this could really make a good game. I know you were limited by the time constraint and the art is quite good.
Some ideas that may or may not have been brough up before: More fishing spots Different fish types woth different risk and value More types of upgrades Some background music
Nice work and keep on improving.=]
Nice graphics and solid gameplay. Wish there were more fishing spots though.
I like the idea, and it was fun and relaxing at first, but after my first upgrade I couldn't find enough fish to justify the larger boat. More fish or some way of finding them more reliably would make this a pretty cool game. Also sound.
The functionality and mode of interaction in this game are great. It's really enjoyable to snipe a fishin hole, drift around waves, and keep them fish in focus. It has rigidity and gives a sense of mastery. Besides the core gameplay, the motives for catching the fish and continuing are a little stale. Mainly because there's not a whole lot to do.
Nice little game with solid gameplay and graphics. The only suggestion i have its control, it is not intuitive first few minutes and i think you should somehow fix it. Overall good job.
I liked it :) But i still couldn't get a ship as big as that merchant one... :(
