Didn't find the twist haha... Wasn't able to cast the fishing line that far. I encountered a few bugs, like the game skipping time at the speed of light, fish stuck (I failed a fish, the circle and the fish stayed here for the remainder of my playthrough, reminding me of my poor fishing skill è_é), or other weird things. I filled the shop with fish, and then I could not sell any more fish :( I WANTED TO MAKE BIG MONEY DAMN IT!

This is a really really relaxed game. The music, the art, everything is just so relaxing. I didn't manage to find the twist but I really enjoyed playing the game.

Oh man, I'm sorry to say I found this really difficult to get my head around. The graphics are really lovely and the music sets a really nice tone - but the gameplay was difficult to penetrate. So, I got to the lake and first off I found that I couldn't do anything to adjust the strength bar... so every cast was the same length, right near the bank. Eventually a fish would come and a circle would go around my float, but pressing WASD didn't seem to have any effect on it. I played for about 20 minutes and eventually managed to catch one fish. I tried for a second and the fish came all the way to the bank, but the circle and fish became stuck and all I could do was move away and cast off again - while the circle and fish remained. I also managed to get the circle to stick around a few times, while I casted off again. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing here.

I've played some of your other stuff and watched you on stream, so I know you put a lot of work and thought into what you produce, it's a real shame I couldn't figure out what's going on here. If you can give me some clues I'd be very happy to try again. Meantime, I hope you do some streaming for this jam, I've found your feedback really helpful in previous jams!!

I really wish the controls worked better (or maybe I just didn't figure them out). I think most of the bugs were already said, when I edited my video I noticed the time was faster and faster. But I have to say the graphics, the atmosphere and all the little stuff, like the inventory etc., it is really nice, it would just need a little bit more :slight_smile:
