Cute graphics! I was a bit confused at the beginning but I got it. Just needs a few sound effects.

Nice game, loved the general atmosphere !
Nice sprites and animation, nice audio.
Was not able to catch the last shiny fish. Te bait gets of the hook on the contact with purple fish and game over... Do I do something wrong? How do I change bait type to a larger one?
Edit: Oh! I have got the point. Caught fish becomes a bait for the next one... so your bait is sort of a Russian nesting doll. For me it was not obvious from the description. Cool game design decision!
Not a bad game at all! Dove in head first without reading the instructions for some reason, but even then, I managed to figure out the rules eventually. Gotta say, was surprised when the tiny orange fish ate my giant blue fish... Unfortunately, I couldn't QUITE wrap my head around the puzzle at level 10 onwards... Don't exactly know why. Also, fish sometimes get stuck on the seaweed (especially the yellow ones), which forces me to release them in order to continue. Still, it's very clever, plus the art style is GORGEOUS. Well done, overall!
@MaxKlimenok you need a fish of the largest possible size, and all other fish in the level must be gone first (escaped, caught, released, whatever). Thanks for playing!
@gafblizzard Finally I understood how to play your game. Updated previous comment and the score.
Cute style and great atmosphere, nice work!
Quite neat idea. I really like the art you have done here. Some polishing would be nice I guess as sometimes I got stuck and could not move further. Overall very nice entry :) Good job
Like the athmosphere and the setting. The game is not that challenging but chills and feels good. I could imagine a mobile version.
Art good. Probably you have a problem with player. Or I have. Because i cant see the bottom of play window. screen.PNG
@warzoku if you are on a laptop screen that might be it. It needs 1024x768. Can you try the second link instead of the gamejolt link? It might show the whole game there.
Nice combined puzzle and fishing. I had a lot of fun
@gafblizzard Website is temporary sleeping :) Maybe you can use https://itch.io/
@warzoku I should learn how to use itch.io. Sorry about the sleeping thing, it happens 1 hour for free website hosting. :P
I like the idea but it's hard to get how to play ; I was unable to catch the purple fish in the very first level! Still great mood and graphic !
@Saering Sorry, I don't have instructions in the game. Check the description on the Ludum Dare page -- it shows you the Controls and Mechanics.
The key is that the purple fish only eats the biggest size fish, and only if all other fish are gone. :)
Nice game! The art is really evocative and sets such a nice tranquil mood coupled with your choice of music. It's really relaxing.
The game works super well. My only gripe is that the bigger fish sometimes got stuck in the kelp. But since restarting is super easy and the music suppresses any rising anger, it's okay.
Good job on your game, have a fish <3 🐟
It's a neat game, but the fish would get stuck on the seaweed a lot cause a restart of the level. I like all the different types of fish but I wish there description was in game because I got confused. I like the art a lot and the mood is really nice. Good job.
I love the idea, and both the music and graphics is good. For me there was too many game mechanics and they were in a way too complicated. But overall a very relaxed and friendly puzzle game. Well done.
Great game, love the cute art style! The puzzle aspect was very clever too, especially towards the end. Got stumped by the last two levels. Well done!
Nice game, the puzzle are very interesting. I have a scaling problem though, can't see the bottom of the game screen but that was not very harmful to my experience.
@Ryunos thanks! Yes, unfortunately some laptops may be too short to see, and we did not realize at the time that there are still desktop/laptop systems shorter than 768 pixels.
