Very nice and innovative mechanic, like the fact it gets darker as you go deeper.
@mahjoub i originally kept that from happening with a quick-fix, but i'm not surprised the game still has that bug at this point, haha! I'm gonna have to add sky and space fish to make the most of the feature.
I love the colour choices and the ambiance. Good transition from cute to kinda spooky.
Really fun mechanic. Best part was discovering I could fly in the sky. The graphics are really cute.
Lovely graphics and a really interesting mechanic. The game got a bit hard to control when the chain is supper long since the barge just keeps spitting it out, but great job overall!
This is so great, I thought I was entering a cave, turns out I was capturing a giant creature^^ Love the mechanic, so much potential with that chain. It's very satisfying when you can start to make huuuge loops.
Excellent game! This is one really sucked me and definitely has that completionist vibe. The strategy is fairly simple to make sure you get every last fish once you get a longer net, but I really enjoyed playing it.
Love the graphic and the control of this game :) Love the lighting on the cloud, really good stuff. Keep up the good work
Unique concept! It was fun to try to haul as much fish as possible and it was satisfying to see them get pulled up to the boat. Managed to catch the "big boy" after 3 tries as the net pulled it a bit higher every time before breaking.
Very cool, I really like the idea! I was a bit confused about how to use the knot, usually it would delete the rope but the fish were still left just hanging out by the boat.
Nice compo entry, and good approach on the theme.
I would have liked a little more messaging on what was going on, like a bar that fills up as you catch fish to show something is happening, or an indicator on what my max rope length was so I knew it had gone up?
@chris-mondok Teaching players to "tighten the loop enough" before reeling in was a challenge. I was tight on time when setting the correct distance to collect the fish, so those distances are very rough. Thank you for playing.
@mrnyarlathotep I agree. I had ppl tell me that they didn't even know they could reel-in, which is the only way to reset the rope to the max rope length. It would have been a relatively easy fix too. I guess I was in a hurry at the end. It's rly a shame for me. Thanks for the feedback.
Great game! I love the mechanic and cute graphics!
✔️ Very nice graphics and colours. I liked the lighting and depth effects in the water.
✔️ The controls and gameplay were very intuitive.
➖ The movement speed felt a bit slow.
Bit hard for me , but i like your artworks.
Я очень рад, что могу поймать таких больших чудищ, и они меня не съедят. Игра затягивает - как буквально, так и в переносном смысле. Спасибо! ^_^
Yes! Sky fish, definitely sky fish! I scared all the fishes away, and once I did it was quite hard to get any back within my chain-boundaries. The name really helps with initially explaining the game, which is nice!
Interesting idea but the physics felt pretty wonky. At one point I suddenly got launched up into the air for some reason, that looked kinda fun. Also like how it gets darker the deeper you go.
It's a deceptively fun game for what it is! I think it has a lot of potential. The fish sprites were charming, but I do think it could benefit from some more work after the jam! I was able to swim into the air- and chase some fish ahead of me into it, which was interesting but probably not intended. I also found it was often more functional to lasso a bunch of fish and drag them up to the boat by swimming above it rather than using the built in wranglers knot function, but that would obviously change if you were restricted to the ocean.
the graphics are nice, it was fun when I discovered that I could fly ^^.
