Absolutely amazing!!! needs sound, and either cpu opponents or multiplayer. The title isn't formatted right
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD41 → Super Turbo Fishing

I like how the game feels and looks! But I miss a opponent to give more tension to the race.
I missed sound effects to give me feedback and different types of fish (with more or less size) like a shiny fish that makes the player go zigzag, or that makes you go faster but changes the controls. I discover today so many fishing games and i love it!
This was amazing! I totally did not expect that after catching a fish! That's a very creative idea! Really fun game!
A really good idea that was well executed. As others said sound would really improve the experience, but multiplayer would even more. I can really imagine how fun it would be to play this game with a group of friends. I think you should continue with this project and see where you can take it.
There is some bug on fishing (I had one where the progress bar was full but I could'nt do anything and another where the indicator of down bar continue to go left and right but I couldn't do anything). The concept is fun, the navigation part is well done. The fishing part would need a little polish (Hard to do in only this limited time ;-) ). Note, I think that some sounds effects / a music would have greatly enhanced the game.
i wasn't expecting such a nice idea! please make it multiplayer! XD
Great idea.
I had to fish right upon the finish line which blocked my view. You can make it partially invisible while fishing maybe. Keep up the good work!
As everyone else had said, could make for an incredibly fun and frantic multiplayer game.
I like the graphics, simple and clean, pleasant to look at; the gameplay feels ver smooth too, especially with the transiton between racing and fishing modes.
This wouldn't even necessarily need multiplayer to be fun, some pleasant music and a scoreboard would go a long way.
Wonderful work!
Thanks for the comments everyone! Most of these things I planned on but ran out of time for. I'll definitely consider cleaning this up and throwing together a little multiplayer game.
It's really funny! Thanks for the game! Great idea and good implementation.
I like it! The only critic I would have is it lacks of challenge during the racing part. Maybe adding bots would be nice.
Really good idea and well executed. I think the fishing might've been a bit too fast for me, and it always stayed the same speed (I think). Maybe it could've ramped up the further I got or perhaps it would've been nice with some kind of difficulty settings. Overall really fun game and great idea.
Really well done. Great use of the theme. This would be great multiplayer :)
After 2 laps I got stuck in an endless loop where the "progress" UI kept flashing on and off at full, and it wouldn't kick into race mode. That being said, this was incredibly fun. What an amazing and creative idea! Great work!

Ah, I know what you're talking about. I ran into that once. No idea what causes it. If I develop this further I'll have to look into that...
This is idea is so clever and well executed! The fishing aspect adds a nice breather to the intense racing. I of course would love to have some sound for this, but I know time is a HUGE constraint, heh. The graphics matched the feel of the game perfectly. Well done!
Just a few critiques/bugs, some were already mentioned that you said you aware of, but I'll just add them all here to give you a complete review. Also, I was on the web version for all of these: - Sometimes I would get stuck at full progress and had to just restart the browser at that point. - The time seems to jump from 00:30:00 to 01:30:00 when it's counting up. - The text alignment for the time caused the text to be pretty shaky and hard to read. Maybe try using a monospace font with the same amount of characters representing the times at all times so that it doesn't jitter.
And for kicks, when I got stuck once, I just let it run for a bit and got this interesting bit of fish art: https://imgur.com/a/es2PzaB
Overall great job. I hope you continue to develop this!
@jackrugile Thanks for the overview!
Lol that's an awesome idea :D Love it, only suggestion would be to put a little delay between completing the fishing part and the race, it's quick a sudden transition where I was still focused on hitting the right spot and suddenly it's racing along. Otherwise, really really cool, please develop this further!
Very funny! It took me a while before understanding how to play, maybe some explanation could be useful.. but the race starting after fishing was a surprise at the beginning! Very good job!
