Cool graphics. I like the fish shadows floating on the water. That's pretty unique.

Overall I enjoyed, I had some troubles with the camera and looking around other than that fantastic!

This is a very chill game, and I like it. I could listen to the music for a long time without getting tired of it.

Very cozy game. I love the fish names.

This was a fun releaxing game to play! It was quite fun!

not so bad, really relaxing game. My best fish was around 16 or 18 m.

I enjoyed the fish designs, and the transition from boating to the underwater fishing was cool.

I love fishing games. Nice graphics and chill gameplay. I like the mix of gameplay styles (surface and underwater).

I was immediately _hooked_ (heh heh). But really though, this was a fun little sea adventure :) I couldn't, for the life of me find the Felippe fish, but got everyone else!

i like the overhead mechanic! Things to improve : * Pick a camera angle and stick to it - maybe a mostly top down view? * fish should be more visible than a black outline? * would love to see the fishing line when you are pulling them in * should have some audio feedback of the harpoon hitting, and when the fish escapes

Its a nice little fishing game, I don't have a lot to say about it.

Fun and chill, game. I enjoy the concept and think it has some fins to grow. The harpooning was satisfying and the progression ideas are cool. I think it would benefit from some collision effects with islands/boathouse, and if the underwater fish reeling had visible under water look without obscuring the fish.

I liked the movable camera personally, as it lets you see and scout for the fish you want for an order in particular. Graphics and audio were great, some small bugs like it only checks the value of fish you have once when you interact and not upon selling/giving them. Overall pretty great!

adam-gallina 2023-05-04 04:52

Yeah @fruitflinger and @jb-rock I definitely thought about adding those things, mostly just ran out of time

@khaokg wdym it only checks the value of the fish once you interact?

khaokg 2023-05-04 05:26

@adam-gallina Like when I went in to the shop to sell, it would tell me I have like 700 gold worth of fish or whatever, and say I sold 2 of them, I'd back out and it'd still say 700 gold worth of fish.

adam-gallina 2023-05-04 05:28

@khaokg Ohhh, yeah, I see where that came from - good news is, it's only a graphical bug, not an infinite money glitch lol. It'll still calculate correctly if you do press the button

khaokg 2023-05-04 05:31

@adam-gallina Ah okay, I expected as such, I think it just "checks" your value when you first check in, so that makes sense haha. No infinite currency today!

A lovely wholesome game that I genuinely enjoyed playing. One note, I immediately went for rope strength upgrades and maxed it out after my first trip or two to the shop, after that it didn't feel like it was possible to fail catching a fish or necessary to use the extra harpoons. P.S. I love the fish names!

mtwhateverest 2023-05-04 19:03

I liked this, it was fun to play and had a cute style to it. I liked the names of the fish, caught me so many Rebeccas. Nice job! :)

fidrik 2023-05-04 19:05

cool game, pretty chill

kazzymodus 2023-05-04 19:23

Very nice and mellow game! The music is very soothing, and the catching mechanic is solid.

I could not find a Felippe fish, so I couldn't complete the order. Is it just very rare, or is that a bug?

fabian-denter 2023-05-04 23:01

Indeed very relaxing game, had a lot of fun finding all the different fish. The fishing mechanic is really solid, well done!

nuin 2023-05-05 00:16

I dont know if it's just firefox, but web games hosted here on Ludum Dare dont ever work for me, they do on itch though. Wish I could play

adam-gallina 2023-05-08 06:01

@nuin I just posted it on itch.io, lmk if it works for you!

@kazzymodus It's fairly rare, so it might've just been bad rng

corrupt-spaghetti 2023-05-19 19:04

Fun game! I like how the rare fish have different yet similar silhouettes to the common ones. Encourages the player pay close attention
