The thumbnail looks so cool! For some reason, I can’t get the game to start on my end. I hope it gets fixed soon so I can give it a try!

Well done, great game idea
Such great pixel art! I really love the fish drawings - they remind me of early Pokemon art in the best way. Not sure if I understood it correctly, but switching between hold and click helped me catch a lot of high-quality fish. Also loved the design of SFX and bubbles that give signals to make desicion, great work! (I clicked because of the cover page - I have a pet hamster lol)
god bless. winner is here
What a seriously awesome and atmospheric game! I'm reminded of Dredge but in the best of ways: especially since you expanded upon that formula with the adjacency bonuses and modifiers on the individual fish. It's genuinely exciting to be pushing your luck fishing after a 6-star as the skies are darkening and the acid rain is coming down hard, after you've lost your last umbrella and precious hitpoints are ticking away... super memorable experience you've created here! Excellent work

"Why am I dying, WHY AM I DYING? Oh right the acid rain..." very nice art btw!
epic,pixel sprites are so beautiful! 68613F7B8E94D42D11C20E57AB9AF1F6.png
I really like visual, animation and music! Such an atmospheric mouse game. Thank you!
I hope that you will make a full version of the game and put it on Steam, it has great potential! Refers me to Dredge, which I played for many hours hehe
I really love your style and your games! thx for expirience!
Excellent game, love this krysich chel
Awesome visuals and sound design—the post-apocalyptic atmosphere is spot on. The gameplay loop is enjoyable, and most importantly, the end goal of rescuing your girlfriend is clear.
The only thing missing is some kind of timer during extraction, so you can roughly understand how much time you have before dying. The economy also feels a bit odd—I managed to beat the game after going through radiation just a couple of times, and it seems I couldn’t see all the available fish in a single run, but that’s a minor issue.
Fantastic work!
Victory!! This is fantastic. incredible art, as usual. the whole game was enjoyable front-to-back. I have minor qol complaints, like it would be nice to have a place to have a temporary area to place fish. but that being said, planning around that inevitability makes for some interesting decisions! The game is well balanced, playing and beating it is challenging but rewarding :) great job!!
Despite the super oppressive atmosphere this is actually a really cute & relaxing game, I really like the inventory management aspect of the fishing & I think it has room to be expanded on. Great job!
The pixel art and sound design are really atmospheric and beautiful!
Simple loop, satisfying gameplay, lovely art style. The backpack arranging itch is one that's always nice to scratch. I would buy a more fleshed out version. Flimsy link to the theme though.
Mood from pixelart style and audio is great! Gameplay loop is also good, I even managed to catch a golden fish once!
Очень круто сделано за 3 дня. Прошел где-то за минут 40. Третьи грейды брать уже не стал, так как получал с рыб достаточно инкама, чтобы снять все замки. Понравилось, что если запотеть, то можно даже с плохой удочкой поймать сложную рыбу. Единственное чего как по мне не хватает - таймера для экстракшена, хотя бы в виде полоски под кнопкой, ну и сам экстракшен кажется достаточно долгим ~10 сек, как я насчитал, из-за чего я старался заканчивать забег заранее, так как пару раз у меня прокала и радиация и дождь одновременно, что убивало меня меньше чем за 10 сек. Еще лягушка занимает 1 клетку, а спрайт как будто занимает 3, но мне это не сильно мешало, а даже было удобно скорее. В остальном игра - имба. Спасибо.
P.S.: Sam - настоящая рыба-гнида, занимает 3 клетки, стоит 10 и не дает бонусов :angry:
Sick pixel art ! Love fishing games the weather conditions and inventory management is also great! The only thing I'm missing is the theme.
Арт красивый, но геймплей суперфрустрирующий и сильно гумозно затянут. И не очень понятно, экстракшен рандомный или нет, время не засекал, но по ощущениям, чем у тебя дольше ран, тем дольше экстракшн, нельзя толком спланировать, когда нужно уходить.
Really great overall design, fun gameplay, great atmosphere and sound design. Olya is looking gorgeous. 10/10.
I love a good fishing game with a tetris inventory! Amazing pixel art and art direction. The gameplay loop is very satisfying as well. I liked that fish had different scoring rules depending on how you placed them. I think the UI element that pops up when a fish is available to catch can be made more obvious. I missed it a few times while sorting my inventory, but maybe thats just me. Overall a really great game!
Amazing pixel art! And the game was a lot of fun!
this is my favorite entry so far! addictive and hearth worming game!
Very cool, I wish with the ultimate upgrades I would be able to reel all fish. Other than that - I hope you make this into a full game!
A brilliant game! The mechanics are addictive, and there are so many interesting gameplay mechanics! Fishing in radioactive waters—the hook alone sounds intriguing! “What will we catch this time?” I'm a little confused about the theme—I guess “radio” refers to the signal?
An awesome game. I love the pixel art, visual style, gameplay, sound design, and atmosphere. Simple and self-contained, yet with huge potential for expansion. This is an example of an ideal project for Ludum Dare. Amazing!
Incredible game, best jam game so far. The visuals were stunning and it completely locked me into the whole atmosphere of the game. I loved the setting, it felt so rich with detail. The characters were great, and the overall game play got me playing for quiet a while. It was very satisfying getting those combos when you got back into the port. The extraction timer was also a really nice choice, it just added an extra layer of tension that really make you think carefully about how you timed everything. The audio was fantastic, it completed the whole package, the little mouse/squeak noises really added an endearing and tragic element.
I think the weakest element of the jam was the relation to the theme, it would have been nice to see a slightly stronger tie in. Overall another exception LD game
Solid game. Love the pixel art.
10/10 guys. I cant stopСнимок экрана 2026-04-22 005723.png
Mega fun, nothing to say - amazing atmosphere, art, music, gameplay - everything is cheff kiss! I def will go back to this game to save the cutie :'3
But son, we already have DREDGE at home! 😁 Jokes aside, this is one of the best games here at LD59. Great atmosphere, sound, and graphics. Wishing you the best of luck in taking first place!
Ребят, ну просто топ Лучшая игра, что я видел за этот джем точно Гемплейно топ, сидишь кайфуешь, рыбачишь потихоньку, под чудесную музыку. Прогрессия тоже понятна интуитивно Арт потрясающий, за 3 дня джема такое сделать - честь и хвала художнику. Отдельное хихи- имена рыб, восхитительно Вобщем волшебная игра, с большим удовольствием прошли. За концовку отдельное спасибо)
Ребята, этот проект меня поразил. Великолепный арт, атмосфера, музыка, сюжет! Механика простоватая, и особо не читается тема джема, но ваш подход к созданию этой игры очень профессиональный. Играть одно удовольствие, я была бы счастлива увидеть полноценную игру в этой стилистике. А сценка в конце очень растрогала. Сразу захотелось узнать побольше о команде и других ваших проектах, обязательно поизучаю прикрепленные ссылки. Вы люди с отличным вкусом, и проделали великолепную работу!
Респект за такую хорошую игру. Одна из немногих игр которые хочется доиграть. Слежу за твоими работами, продолжай в том же духе.
NICE
Great little game loop, I was hooked playing. Surprised with the amount of fishes and thought into the gameplay you managed to put in.
Like the atmosphere very much! Art and music are amazing. There is a bug when rod is not reacting to holding LMB or when hint is stuck on the cursor. But anyway this is very good game for 3 days!
A really cool concept! Please keep working on the project. I like the atmosphere you’ve created.
I’d love to see the fishing mechanic developed further—at the very least, it would be nice if the chance of catching fish didn’t depend solely on the quality of the rod.
This was fantastic!!! I love games where you earn money from your bag management like this, and you did a good job with spacing out upgrades and revealing new surprises (the fish you can’t catch at first). I played the heck out of this and saw it through, and had an awesome time with it. This is one of my favorite Ludum Dare games this time!
I got really hooked up on your game ;) Jokes aside when I turned your game on I haven't even read the description but I immediately caught what the game is about. Really cool concept and well executed
The game itself is normal, but there's nothing innovative about it. There were also a lot of "different pixels" in the visual, which didn't look good. Also, if I understood correctly, random in the fishing was very strange. And waiting for 10 seconds without being able to do anything (no, of course, you could have sorted the inventory in time, but it seems that this could have been better implemented) was not very good. But in general, you can enjoy the game, but for me it turned out to be too ordinary (with borrowed main mechanics).
Probably the most polished experience I've played this jam. The pixel art and aethetic is awesome. Loved this entry, great job guys!
