I like this game, its very original
Very simple but fun game! Even though I can just catch 3-4 fish in a round...
I would like to know how your game background is implemented with shader? It looks cool !
Nice work, very solid effort for 12 hours! Love the rustic art style. Gameplay felt like it could have been a tiny bit more engaging, but overall good entry.
Very good game :) Got Dont Starve Together vibes. Totally the most funny game for that kind of sounds :D
Simple and effective, I like the cuteness//funnyness it has.
Really cool and refreshing entry!
@aly-name thanks for the feedback! For the background I drew some watercolorish sprites and added a *underwater effect* layer (default effect by GameMaker) and played with the parameter.
hehehehehe the art style and the animation of the fishies are so charming, and i love the sound effects, especially the "oOoh?"
wow, graphics it's amazing, sound design so fun))
Supercute graphic and easy to play this relaxing game, the sound cues really made me smile all the time
Very short but interesting concept. I like how you gotta smash the Spacebar, but cant just blindly hit in the whole time. You actually have to lure your pray. Graphics are top notch aswell as the animations. I haven't heard any sound effects so I'm wondering if I missed smth.
But other than that kewl little game ^^
Very simple and yet so fun. Great job!
GOrgeous artstyle, the snapping animation is just the best part of the game!
Love the handmade style ! It took me a minute to figure how to properly lure fish but once I got the hang of it it was quite fun :) I got 1200 on my first try :triumph: well done !
@adamsmccall Nice score for the first try, I always messed it up and scared the fish too far away, and needed a lot of time and light to lure them back. Our highscore is 1600 btw (so only one fish more!)
@pe4q07 @jona-scheidig @nacchan @ybzpp @yanzhi Thank you so much for the compliments on the art style. We thought a lot about using this kind of "watercolor" art style - or using a clean comic look and size down all objects, which would allow to add movement and a level design to the game.
I honestly feel very bad that I drew the "idle" animation of our main character with only three sprites or so, whereas I spend a lot more of sprites for the animation of the prey fish. I tried to do justice by animating the "snap" animation of the angler fish with a lavish 12 (?) sprites. XD
Straight forward concept was fun trying to lure the fishies in! The art and animation was amazing and the sounds are hilarious! great work :clap:
I saw the gif version of the fish on the main page and thought the designs were super cool—was really excited to see how it would turn out. So glad to see it worked out, it looks amazing all the way through. Great job!
Loving the art style - great work! 👏 The gameplay is a bit short, but it’s smooth and enjoyable. Really impressive, especially considering you made it in just 12 hours!
I enjoyed this nice little game. The graphics and sounds go very well together. Audio especially is kinda hilarious, which is great :D Good job!
Nice game! Took my a little bit to figure out how to work the light, because the fish kept getting scared and run off before I could eat them, haha.
What a charming little game! I LOVE the doodle aesthetic, I loved the simplicity in design, and the audio was my favorite part haha. Played, voted, and loved it ♥
@sayomgwtf @moony-91 @nadan @helloimbenjamin Thank you so much for the feedback! I wonder why we didn't choose the “better crappy homemade sound than nothing at all” route much earlier in our previous jam games XD
Ooooo! ooooo.png
Nice short game with easy to understand game mechanics. Though luring in fishes from afar is pretty difficult.
Loved the art style and mouth-made SFX :)

Great concept! Loved it
Cute game. Luring fish is tricky as it should be, but when they're close enough, it's chomping time. The sounds effects are so much fun and the hand-drawn fish are really pretty.
Hey! Thanks for dropping your link in my stream the other time. finally got around to playing. Liked the sound effects a lot, and the Handdrawn style.
@alvaron Thank you for playing our game on your twitch channel! Here's a fun fact: Since we never really thought about how to create sound and integrate it into our game, I simply did some recordings in a messenger chat on my cell phone - that was the quickest way I could think of. Embarrassing? XD
But in this jam, I definately learned that it makes a lot of difference, having sound effects and music, since it sets the mood and rounds up the overall look and feel. We will do our homework next time, and prepare a more professional setup and make more use of it! Thank you for the feedback.
Cute! The hand-drawn art is really charming and the voice-based audio is a lot of fun. The fish designs (especially the angler, of course) are great. The round ones were quite difficult to get!
I'm personally not very good at button mashing and it hurts my hand a bit so another input method would've been nice. Just holding the key might've been too easy but then again the main challenge was timing so I think it could work :)
Overall short but sweet, with lots of personality!
@ava-skoog thank you for your feedback! We really haven't thought that much about the controls. During testing, I noticed that you sometimes skip the end of game screen because of all the button mashing: I initially had a “press enter to restart” navigation built in. This happened so quickly that you couldn't read your score and restarted the game immediately. It's worth putting more thought into this. I think “hold key” also fits better for lurking... it doesn't make so much noise :D.
Very basic, but also very fun, the use of light that attract and also reveal you and spoke wish are well done. And really nice graphics, those fishes adorable. Blub Bloob!
Amazing game! It's weird that I missed it all this time during the contest!!! Now it’s one of my favorites)))! I love traditional animation, such a cool take on the theme! Super simple, but that’s the key to success!!! Pure joy! Thanks for the emotions and good luck to you!
