I see everyone talking about the sharks being too hard but it felt balanced to me. Well placed headshots and they go down. Overall the game is fun but the fishing minigame part was pretty simple. It was very easy to catch fish

Downloaded the game after seeing all the comments. Took a min to get the game but when I got all the controls and concept down ended up being a well put together game. I agree with most when it comes to the sharks and the day time cycle should last a bit longer caught 3 fish then it was night again.
Excellent work.
This is the winner in my opinion.
I'm keeping this to play later :)
Really liked the theme of the game, and the assets fit really well together, i had a tough time shooting the sharks, but other than that i really enjoyed it
Very easy and fun. Like the fishing mechanic. I died the first night as I couldn't pick up the spears or didn't know how to get the harpoon, but tried it again and night time was fun on the second go. Well done. Great idea and lots of fun.
Easy to pick up and fun, does feel pretty harsh to get through even the first night though. Good Job on the gameplay in general though.
Simply Great. Normally, fishing games can be tedious. This was nice and quick.
I like the lowpoly style it's simple and clean. I enjoyed the game, it was really well done!
So simple and yet so fun. The first time it turned night gave me goose bumps.
Very well done!
Fun and stylish, but unless I missed something, i think the sharks may be a tad too strong. I upgraded the harpoon first day and still struggled to keep sharks off the boat at night.
One other suggestion is maybe swap sharks for some sort of eldritch creatures. Could help explain their appearance only at night. I like it and could see it being even more fun and a solid portfolio piece!
Very fun to play. Love the lowpoly style. The controls are very smooth and having the day/night cycle helped keep things from becoming too repetitive.
I did wish there was an option after the lose state to restart as I was ready to get my revenge on those Sharks haha and having the game close right away was a surprise the first time.
I can see this game being expanded on in the future and really hope you do so!
I really like this concept, it was fun to play! could use some more audio/music, other than, it was a blast!
I had a lot of fun with this! Gameplay mechanic is perfekt! I like the day night idea. It is challenging i have a goal and i can skill so i have progress. Very well made! Better Graphics and extended Gameplay an you could sell this on steam for sure
