Nice artstyle!
Nice gameplay and audio is also good..it would be good if we could move with WASD keys to make game more interactive..beacuse in here we only have to click where to go..that is little less interactive.. Other than that nice art and great work !!
Cute! Nice mechanic, I like that you only use the mouse to play.
I love both the fishing cat character and the alligator designs that you came up with, they're really cute and appealing!
I jotted down a few notes as I was playing:
I was challenged and engaged during the river segments, but the fishing minigame felt a bit too easy - The slow moving meter meant that I was never in danger of missing a cast, and because the fish did not move around on screen, I was also never in danger of missing a school of fish.
I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong (Or loaded up my boat with too many fish), but I almost never had a chance to drop the fish after a collision with an alligator - The ship sunk within half a second, before I could even react. This never felt unfair and never killed my enjoyment (I did hit an alligator, after all), but if the goal was to let players bail out their ship, you might want to slow the timer down a little bit before you sink.
I also found a bug on one playthrough - My boat sank on Day 1, and I was forced to sit and wait for around 30 seconds for it to get back on screen from the river before I could catch any more. Once it got back, my boat then started randomly sinking during the fishing segment, presumably because it hit an alligator in the river as it slowly walked over to me.

All in all, great job getting this all together for the jam! :)
I enjoyed your game. Figured it out without reading the instructions. Good job.

I missed the goal by $2 :laughing:
What an adorable game. I really loved the art and aesthetic of your game. The water effects and the subtle animations really added to the experience. The music is also super cute and pleasant and fits the relaxing mood of this game perfectly.
I would have enjoyed it a bit more if there was some more variety in the fish you could catch, specifically with the meter mini game. Regardless, I think you did an awesome job.
Nice and neat. Great jam game. Needs some balancing but good job :)
just need to add cat purring everytime he catch fish. great art.
Really enjoyed the game, the art is so cute. I liked the mechanics too, great job on it o/
Game Really Complete, Art of Cat is really Cute, Game play is good to, :D
Enjoyable and fun little game nice art and sounds, Great job.
It was nice to play. Maybe the fish mechanic is a little tricky, it's hard to get the right point. I like the character, very cute.
I liked the graphics in the game and the mechanic of dropping fish so you don't sink. Great game.
