very relaxing game , good job .
Really relaxing game, I loved the atmosphere of the night. The gameplay is cool and the minafish is cute :fish: Good job!
Congratulations to you both for making this first game!
I got a fish.
I really love the calming atmosphere of this game! The dithered art style is really nice, and I love the little sleeping cutscenes. I love how the music and art change during the night. It really adds a great feeling to the game. At the end I made $3015 in total after catching the unique thing on the 3rd day! My one critique is that waiting for your bobber to go down feels really slow before you upgrade it
Addictive game, and love the art style. Wish the fishing rod went down/up a bit faster, but regardless good job and congratulations!
I love the idea - it's an innovative way to tie the theme in. The art is super cute and the game is also quite enjoyable to play; the music also adds just the right touch to the wonderfully cozy vibes of a day spent fi shin'.
The change to the music and the background when the sun sets for the nighttime is also fabulously done.
Thanks for the great game! ^^
Loved the vibes in this game, congrats on putting a new spin on the classic fish minigame. Great job for your first game!
Really nice for a jam! I think progression felt a little slow. Would appreciate if both the lure moved and time progressed faster. I did feel nostalgic for the fishing minigame in an old DOS game called Scooter's Castle, so bonus points for bringing me back ^_^
Fun, cute, relaxing little game! I love the sounds and clean gameplay loop. Although sometimes the fish I've collected fall back into the water. :(
All of the little details put in really make it quite special
I think it could have been split up into more levels that take less time (beating one level takes a very long time)
Overall very nice :)
I GOT TWO WHOLE SHARK 🦈🦈
I had the 3rd on the line but then couldn't do it because 10:00 struck and it was my bed time ðŸ˜
The fishes and especially the squids were **very bouncy**! And they were still wriggling around after I caught them! made me feel bad like they were suffocating just laying there in the boat
So fun to pile the fish! fishpile_small.png Preety art, relaxing music, preety game, relaxing game. I like how the color of the ocean changes with time. Self-explanatory, tutorial not needed. I love how fish are different gameplay wise in many categories (price, depth, shape, catching difficulty). Like for example, squids are worth a lot and are not that deep, but they are hard to catch and jump around the boat like crazy.
One of the three sharks I caught ended up in the ocean again :cry: Wierdly enough it was the first one.
I didn't have time to get far but the first day was nice and I liked the music.
Really nice and cozy game. Well Done !
Pretty nice and chill game. Maybe I didn't understand how to, but I would have loved to be able to press a key to drop the fish faster in the boat. Besides that, it was a pretty good experience!
nice relaxing game, for future would be nice to have some scenarios where you can play (e.g. lake, river, etc..) the fish falling just fell to much bouncy, could be frustrating if like to get a lot =)
I really like this game! It was so relaxing I forgot for a while that I was supposed to be ranking it :sweat_smile: I thought the sounds and the sprites were super adorable (especially the great shark! It's a sweetie baby!) I really like how to mechanics were fairly simple but once the sharks were added it created a twist on the existing game. Really well done! My only complaint is that fish falling out of the ship was super frustrating! Maybe if there was some way to "re-catch" them it could be less frustrating?
This was super fun to play! I love the effort put into the graphics, sound, and music. I got so excited when I saw that there was a cut scene and even a buying system with the mermaid shop! This is a game to be really proud of.
brb while I recover from the series of heart attacks I felt whenever a fish bounced out of my boat.
@queenofsquiggles Thanks for checking out our game! I'm glad you liked it :smile: The shark is my favourite part ehe. lorelei did a great job on it c:
And yeah that's a great suggestion! I think we could've added a way to re-catch them or some kind of upgrade that makes them less bouncy ahah.
@rena Thanks for playing our game! I'm glad you liked it!! lorelei put a TON of effort into all the art and sound and I think it really paid off. We're super proud of what we accomplished and are excited to keep making games c:
Cute and addictive! At some point, all my fish would bounce off into the water. There seems to be a bug where you miss a catch when you reel in holding the space bar, and fail the timing minigame because you are still pressing space.
Addicting and relaxing game! Thank you
Nice, calming, and cute atmosphere! The gameplay is really chill, trying to fit the fish on your boat is a fun mini-game, and the special fish provide a fun challenge to try to collect! I thought the mermaid shop was really cute, with the ships in bottles, ah it's great. This game definitely scratches the tranquil relaxing game niche and it does it great. Nice job!
This game has a very relaxing atmosphere, I really enjoyed it. Impressive work for just 3 days. Well done team!
I just came back because I need to tell you: For me this is one of the best games of the jam. :D
@aurailus Thank you!! We both love Stardew Valley so we were inspired by the chillness of that game c:
@bluedandelion Thanks for playing our game! We're honestly really surprised how much we were able to get done in 3 days. We're super proud of our game :smile:
@sabi Aww thank you so much! This is the first game jam we ever did so we're super surprised our game turned out so good. We're really proud of it :smile_cat:
A very pleasant and atmospheric game. This is the perfect way to relax).
Lovely pixelart ! I couldn't finish it given the lack of time lol, but it's a cool fishing game !
