Amazing artstyle as always, the tycoon mechanics are well done and never get boring. The memes are just right and not too overwhelming.
After collecting all the medals, I expected to have to beat the fishermen's league, but I hope you had to cut that part because of the little time left.
Well done!
I'd love to play this game, but unfortunately there is neither a Linux or Web version.
@pschichtel i can try a Linux build, but sadly i have no way to know if it works, since i currently don't have a machine with linux installed, as for web... too many complex shaders for webgl :(
@andreadbx mark it as untested and I can provide feedback :)
Very beautiful game with just the right amount of waiting in between and a lot to discover, especially the memes. I am very impressed at how many things you managed to pack into there. Would have loved a web build but I guess the art wouldn't be the same with it. Great work!
Your music and art style are just mind-blowing! But I’ll admit, I expected a different experience from this game for some reason. I don’t know — considering the overall vibe, I was hoping for something more like an Animal Crossing-style game: just fishing, collecting stuff (with the option to examine the art more closely), and chilling. I would even buy something like that! But that’s on me for having different expectations. You did an incredible job!
@rionisse thank youuuu! The original idea was that, chilling around, running errands and doing mini games, but proved quickly too ambitious for 3 days (also, we are mainly 3 artists, and of those 3 only i code and just as a side hobby lol), we are thinking of doing more with this, definitely!
Damn, I thought the ultra-mechanics and bullet hells were coming! Jokes aside, it was really beautifully designed and executed. I was even a little disappointed that it was already over. Thanks for the experience. Great work!
Beautiful 3D game, the slow motion with shift is quite surprising.
I like this cozy game, I think, it has a good balance between world research and idle gameplay. Plaing to the moment of hiring captain, and my laptop turn off(. It was screaming, because windows defender put this game in quarantine, after I download it xD.

P.S. Thanks for streaming JAM games!
I really like this game, it has a nice combination of cozy gameplay with clicker-like mechanic of placing buildings that produce points/coins or in this case fish, but what differentiates from a typical clicker it is that you don't look at the same screen constantly clicking, but instead explore the island and talk with the villagers, which is a standout feature. The audio and graphics are great!
Incredible art style and polish. One of the best jam entries of this LD for sure.
IRROTAZIONI!
Amazing automation game, kudos for the Ghibli vibe. Very impressed by the amount of work in 72 hours. Top-notch music and art, and it was very satisfying to buy all these machines! Got a bit lost at the beginning so I went talking to all the NPCs haha, but then I went back on track
Really nice little game, my only comment is as an idle game there's still typically something to do between purchase tiers/waiting to build up and I felt like I was doing nothing standing by the NPC's waiting for the number to increase and checking my phone instead of enjoying your game further.
Absolutely incredible for a jam entry! The music was giving me serious BOTW/TOTK vibes. Fantastic job!
Very good mood, love the atmosphere and clever gameplay.
I went to making my dinner while leaving the game in the background and...

xD Awesome mood, art and progression, congrats!
Nice enjoyable game with beautiful outline shader. Gameplay is a bit empty, after upgrading your upgrades, all you can do is wait and walk around location.
Very nice! I love incremental games and this one was also beautiful to boot! Did you model this whole island during the jam? I'm seriously impressed! One thing I'd say is missing is being able to upgrade your own fishing! It's nice when an incremental game lets you actively help your number go up while actually making a difference, but since I always only caught 1 fish at a time I just stood around waiting for a while until I got the next mission. Anyhow, this was a very charming cozy lil game!
Just opening the game and doing nothing already makes me feel so relieved. I really like this kind of low-poly style modeling and visuals. Creating a 3D game project within 3 days is extremely challenging! I love your work :3
I really liked the visual style and the idea itself, excellent work!
@fupi yup, all models done in the 72 hours, it was an.. intresting sunday for me :skull:
I played this one on stream, but due to a time limit couldn't finish it. I finished it now, and it was awesome experience, especially while tired after the stream. I mentioned on the stream I'm afraid the game will become boring once you wait for enough fish for the next upgrade, I think the game is very well tuned to avoid that. At first it is just fun to explore and talk with NPCs while the fish counter is incrementing, and then the speed of fish production is so quick you don't need to wait much. One thing I wish is to be able to fish from any place close to water to just do something while I am waiting. Other then that the level of polishing in this game is superb: everything is good, graphics, audio and balance. Thanks for the experience!
Lovely game, I enjoyed the time I spent with it. I think it's a good setup for an incremental - pretty visuals, some light exploration, and dialogue that doesn't pause the number going up :smile: If it was supposed to go for a long time, then maybe there could be some more decision making or challenge involved, but as it is, it's a short and relaxing ride. Well done ^^

The game looks amazing! And I love how cozy it is!

Great little game :) thank you for this peaceful moment I love the mix between an incremental game and 3D world exploration! It's like you find additional secrets, great job!

Beautiful, comfy and nostalgic. Great entry! Made a great final game to finish off the stream, here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2594438647
Such a wonderful entry! Finished it with pleasure. So many things that are right about this game, wow! The graphics are great and very well put together with music and sounds. The atmosphere is over the top. It's very relaxing to just run around and chat with all those characters. I like that I'm not involved in any activity for a change, just wondering around and buying struff! That's refreshing :D I truly loved it, thank you!
If all the art assets were made in the 72 hour timeframe, that is really impressive, great job. The toon shader ties everything together nicely! At first I thought the game would be a bit boring, but you guys nailed the feeling of progression well. It was fun and rewarding to see the little island come to life while prospering off the fish-based technology. The little town was fun to run around and explore. Assets were reused smartly. Seeing all the fishermen, boats, and robot arms collecting fish was enjoyable. Music was very relaxing. Super chill game that really didn't have any challenge or mechanics other than idling but the world definitely made the experience enjoyable. Hats off to the team, have a fish!
@deadjolly yup, all assets made in 72 hours, except for the font we used, our team was basically all artists, in fact the gameplay is barebone :D
