Cute short game. :) Was paced well in that whenever I was hoping for something new it introduced a little something. The ending was worth it! :D

Was not expecting that ending LOL So hilarious and cute I played it multiple times and showed my friends! Great work (^^)

Really charming game! Didn't expect such a cool mechanic. And the ending was very rewarding. Great job! :D

Funny and cute! A really cool entry!

Amazing Game! Took me a while to figure out the puzzles, but overall, good entry.

LoL wasn't expected that :D So fun and the lack of a tutorial actually add to the fun of it!

Really good Job :)

I don't know if the speed of the line was supposed to be THIS fast or if it's something from my setup but this is by far the best game I've played so far. The art side is perfect for the game, it is inventive, tight and that final gag had me laughing out loud. Congratulations and thanks!

What a FANTASTIC little game! I was honestly surprised by the mechanics and puzzles and had quite a laugh while playing! Thank you!

Wow I really loved this! I love the cute little display window, the bending of the line, and the brilliant ending. This is probably my favorite jam game I've played in the last few jams I've participated in. All the game feel and juice was really well done too.

To give some constructive feedback, I wasn't sure how I ended up solving the last electricity puzzle. I just messed around a few ways until I accomplished it - but I wasn't quite sure of the "why" when I did.

Loved your game - congrats on submitting to the jam successfully!

This is a pretty cool short game. The art style is nice, the gameplay mechanic is smart and the music fits well. I think this is exactly how jam games should be like :D As other commenters already said: Great ending!

What a gem, looks like a gameboy color game but prettier, the aspect ratio felt really nice, it's a veeery cool concept of puzzling, the only things i would add are a button to rollback your movement, I got super lost in the middle of all the lines i had already made, and perhaps make the hook move a little slower, it felt hard to go through some tight spaces at times, but really, an incredible game, I truly loved it, fantastic job by everyone involved.

I really liked the controls and puzzles to do with the fishing line

Electricity mechanic was really neat, and the ending was lovely :3. Would love to see some different mechanics.

Lovely art and story

This turned out to be even better than I expected! At first, it reminded me of a mobile game named "Ridiculous Fishing" – at least the graphical style did – but then more and more mechanics were introduced and the game just kept getting more interesting as I got deeper. Fun gameplay, great visuals, and the ending was the cherry on top. Great work!

Now I know that fishing a fisherman seems less painfull than fishing a fish for the prey. Honestly, very cool game, with nice gameplay ideas, it was a pleasure to give it a try and the ending made me laugh a lot, the music theme is nice, and you did great with the pixel art, great work :D

I love this game. Me, a stupid person, is impressed by these line physics. This game is just so stupid I love it. The ending is perfect.

One of the best games I've played in this LD, great work! 10/10

Really spectacular game. Took me a while for that last puzzle, but I figured it out. ;) And of course, an excellent ending. (made me wish I took the long way around ;))

Really great entry! This is unlike any game I've played before, and that is very refreshing. I love the simplicity of the gameplay, graphics, and sound. The ending was really satisfying, many jam games end with a "the end" screen, but I was really satisfying when I finally beat the game lol. Well done!
