This game is insanely fast and really difficult! Looks nice, runs smooth, fun to play.

UFO Fishing is super smooth and looks really nice. It is insanely hard and needs to be balanced though as it feels very impossible to get anywhere.

With some music and balancing it could be a very satisfying game!

The cuteness is awesome!!! But like they said a little too hard.

Neat little game. Became quite a spam and moving into one direction at the end but I liked the level progression. With some objectives it'll be awesome. Nicely done.

Cute game, but very hard. I like the progression system, but it was so hard I never progressed :)

I'm gonna say you might be stretching on the theme a little but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because everything else is great! :) Keep it up !

Way too hard.-10.

It's really, really hard, maybe too much to be fully enjoyable.

The concept and the idea is nice, maybe not totally theme fitting

In the overall, polishing is at the standard for a compo entry.

Nice work dud!

Nice game. Clean graphics

matt-pattabhi 2019-04-29 13:58

Well done. It's hard but its polished

The game looks good, and the controls feel good. It was way too difficult for me though. The fish spawn so close, and they're really fast!

Thanks for feedback! Yes, the game difficult at first but since you cannot die after 1-2 minutes you start to get the feel of it. Tips: prefire and small/quick move.

The game looks very clean. The visual appeal is crisp. The added bit of polish with the fish emerging from underwater to jump at the UFO is nice.

Phew, this is a tough game! -10 sushi per hit taken is a bit harsh, as it seems difficult to avoid being hit. That said, after a few attempts I managed to beat it by constantly moving to the right and rapidly alternating my fire direction from left to right. During a few of the progression steps I'm not entirely sure I noticed a difference in the firing arc of the UFO's weapon. I suppose it is likely that it had some effect I didn't notice while whipping my mouse back and forth.

Pretty good foundation for a game though. Just needs a bit of balance adjustment. If you were to go forward with it I'd suggest adding some defensive options as a more engaging alternative to the "fly in one direction and fire in two" strategy. Perhaps all that is needed is a little more telegraph time between fish appearing from off screen and slamming into the player.

Given how pretty the game is, I could see myself coming back to it with a few tweaks. Good job!

@vinay-rao Hey thank you! Really appreciate your feedback.

Really cool artstyle and fast-paced combat!

Good Artwork and sounds but the difficulty barely managed to get to the first stage (By moving diagonally and shooting in the same direction).

I want to eat SUSHI! On the day the world ends. I want to eat SUSHI! As the last dinner.

The graphics look nice, but like many others here, I find the difficulty a bit steep, and sadly it prevents me from having much fun from playing this. I also find myself wishing for more connections with the theme :D

simone 2019-04-29 17:32

Simple and effective! Good job! :) As with most of the game I don't see a neat connection with the theme, but it was common this time :(

synadiome 2019-04-29 19:27

Very nervous and smooth but really hard and punitive (or is it me?). Visuals are so cute, good job!

gao-ming 2019-04-30 10:32

Very lovely art style.Great effects!Good job!

jk5000 2019-04-30 15:12

The game has great graphic and cool sound effects. The game idea is simple and good, but for me it was way too fast. Overall a fine LD game.

wekaj 2019-05-01 02:03

Great work! I found the game really difficult, so I couldn't make much progress. Losing 10 sushi for just one hit is brutal! I liked the art style and effects.

wubbaduck 2019-05-01 04:06

This game is hilarious! If I ever need to take out some anger on some fish I will be pulling this up again.
