I like the idea!

Like the music a lot and how you drew fish :) Would be nice to see more items in a shop or at least a "You win" sign once everything is bought

Nice game, I thought at first that it was about throwing the spear past the top fishes to catch something deep. Took me some time to figure out the upgrade system.

Great game! From now on, I want a rocket spear for christmas!

The audio is fine, even though the music itself doesn't fit the mood while the water sound on top of it does the work for it, and the graphics sort of look like clip-art, but the game itself is alright. It sort of reminds me of Cookie Clicker, in the way that you keep on doing a repetitive task but also keep upgrading your tool at the same time. And the curved throwing/launching spear mechanic reminds me of Angry Birds. The connection to the theme could be better, as in the game you stay at the surface and try to throw the spear deeper and deeper, but it just comes right back up.

Really like the concept of this game. Well done!

I like the concept , the game is fun , but a little short . The game is finishable in under 5 minutes . It doesn't make it bad , it is just less farming , which is good . My only complaint is that it would have been nice to allow the player to use the rocket boost by clicking on a button , having to click specifically on the falling spear is not really easy , and understandable .

I've spent way to much time playing this.

Add more upgrades please!

10/10 would get addicted again :D

Fully updgraded. At this point it's not about fishing anymore, it's about sending Neptune a messagee.

A bit short to my taste but that was just becasue I enjoyed playing it so much. It reminds me of the crazy flash-games-chain-reaction-extravangaza (in a good way).

Congratulations on your entry !

Nice game mechanic.

Possible visual improvment: make the movement of the camera a bit less jarring at the moment when you throw the spear.

I love the idea of the game and the overall theme was very chirpy, it reminded me of a 2D version of the fish catching game in Jak & Daxter. Would love to see the improvements slightly to the art/ UI, but it has a nice charm to it! Keep up the great work!
