The first time that voice spoke, it cracked me up. Nice job there. I caught 3 fish then Mr. Bear broke my neck. Made me jump too. Nice work. The sound effects could use a little work, although the lure plop was pretty satisfying. Overall, a solid entry.
Mr. Bear actually scared the f out of me :joy: I actually expected a bear just chasing you while you are trying to fish or something, but boy was i wrong! I really enjoyed it!
Nice game and idea 5/5!!! Good Luck!
Interesting concept I like the humor twist.
Game reminds me of : Welcome to the Game II
Except no horror lol
It's a little BEAR-bones in places, but it was actually surprisingly scary. The fact you have to focus so hard on fishing meant Mr. Bear showing up actually jolted me awake.
Really nice job aaand scary! I like the concept as well!
First time Mr Bear scared me too!! I noticed if you cast too far it doesn't allow you to recast? Check out ours https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/infinite-typer
Nice creepy atmosphere! Audio is funny and Mr. Bear keeps the paranoia level on crank! This could be heart attack inducing in VR lol. Cool idea
Great suspense in this game, everything looks and sounds so eerie. The game has a good sense of fun as well. Very enjoyable.
Nice suspense. First time I played I was looking around to try to see the bear coming, haha.
I like the concept a lot! The randomizers did seem a little unfair but :shrug: Here's a couple other things: - The lighting was pretty good but the graphics in general were fairly basic. I know compo in 3D is really hard though :slight_smile: - The bear was funny! It scared me the first time but then it just got funny. @niterich nails it in terms of gameplay increasing suspense. - It didn't seem like catching fish actually made Mr. Bear happy? Or maybe that was just me.
Overall it was a good concept and fun to play. Good job!
@samusoidal Thanks for the input! Yeah it might not have been clear what I meant by keep Mr Bear happy lol. The way the game works is that at random points in time, Mr Bear will walk up behind the player, and if there are any fish in the bowl, he takes them and walks away happy, you can just about see this in the dark if you look to your left after catching a fish, the little "nooo" sounds is mr bear taking them away and leaving the bowl empty.
Obviously if Mr Bear comes up to you and your bowl has no fish, he is not happy and breaks your neck
Definitely kept me on my toes lol. A couple more interactions with the fishing functionality could make it funner. Sound effects were funny as well.
As someone who grew up in Alaska, I applaud this game for its authenticity.
Can't play your game, it crashes everytime I launch it :(
@toulou Damn, don't think many others have that issue and I've never had it so I can't really come up with a fix RIP
@GexAlmighty Apparently it has something to do with my graphic driver, so it's my fault not the game's fault. No worries.
Nice idea! Had to play it in editor as the exe wouldn't run but cool stuff!
The sound effects are obviously the highlight of this game. Had a good laugh haha. It's always good use his own voice for game soundeffects and you did a great job at implementing it. The fishing itself was okay, nothing to big but atleast it had some kind of stages (pole is up, pole is halfway down, and pole is down) which was nice. The bear spooked me quite hard first time, so also good job on that :P
Maybe for next time some kind of timer when the bear is coming would be nice or some kind of other distraction. Anyways, Keep up the good work!
Cool Concept!! Keep it up
