The game is amazing looking and has a lot of play-ability. If it had a good music track it would be really amazing.

I liked this a lot! It's got a few things going for it.

The sections where you navigate the hook to the fish remind me of the puzzle spinoffs that are popular now (Hitman Go, Friday the 13th Killer Puzzle, etc). They're challenging and well-made, in my opinion.

I thought that catching the fish by doing key combinations was a good idea. It's not terribly challenging, but mix it with the game timer and it's pretty fun.

Overall, I think this is a pretty cool game!

Thanks for the web build. I'm tired of downloading exe files. The game itself is a bit confusing, but I figured out the mechanics after a while. Great game. :slight_smile:

I scored 195, I wonder how long I can keep the top of the leaderborard.

This game reminds me of many scratch games. Graphics may not be solid, but the mechanics are.

I still didn't figure out if I needed to press all the keys highlighted at once our one at a time when I'm trying to capture a fish.

If only Pokemon's capture was like this game. Instead, we all tap the screen or press b because we think it will make the pokemon stay on the ball. If Mythbusters were on the air, I'd ask them to help bust the myth that pressing specific keys in a pattern increases your chance to catch a thing.

It's simple and fun. The scoreboard is a nice feature as well. The crudely drawn UI gives it some personality. But hey, you actually did well. Good job! =)

The hooking sections were really cool with the crabs blocking the paths as you were trying to get to the fish. After a few play though, the patterns and where to drop become more apparent. Sound effects were really good. The actual game after hooking was fun, but sometimes I found it not detecting the keys I was pressing, not sure if it was because of pressing them to fast or what. It seemed to be when there was a space bar press involved in one, and then in the next sequence as well.

I played the web version on matty's server with the leaderboard. When I played, I put it in full screen and noticed that some of the text elements go outside the defined spaces for them. Other than that, this was a solid entry and I enjoyed playing it.
