Very good start to what could be a sweet fishing game! Such a unique mechanic that I personally love, not too hard but also not too easy

Great Game! Really like the art. The fishing mechanics are very original and fun. Good Job!

Fun game if you fill it some more fishes more items for store it can be a finished game to play for few hours. Good work.

Great music and art! I like old NES feel of the menus. Could definitely see the idea getting expanded upon with more types of eels and such. Cool game!

Love fishing!!! This one has a great vibe!!... but it's kinda hard for aiming my fishing pole, or aim where i want my bait to go.

I love the vibe of this, the music the art and the fishing!

Cute visuals and nice concept. The game could use more gameplay and I'm not sure exactly how to play. Good work!!

I like the calm and peaceful type fishing game you have going on here, personally I think maybe a little more action like some sharks or something interesting would make it more fun. I don't know though that might just be me. I think maybe limitation could have been more involved but a solid game that works as intended. I enjoyed playing it. :)

Chill fishing game with awesome art and music! Gas and bullets shop is cool, but the limitation could hit harder. Love the water lighting, super fun!

Love the water lighting rings, nice touch. Not sure this is approved fishing tech, but it's pretty funny =P. Cool 'snake' like mechanic there with the multi-segmented shadows. 

Developer

It’s just not approved yet! Thanks for playing! (:

Fun art style. I found the gameplay a little slow, but then again I'm not huge into fishing games :P

Pretty fun game! The limitation could have been more noticable, but other than that the game was a blast. The music  and art really drove it home.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

You can obviously tell I struggled with the limitation, is there anything you think I should’ve done to follow the limitation stronger? Because the only thing I thought of at the time was the shop. Thanks for playing regardless, your game looks neat btw

I think the limitation could have been more present, but the execution of the game is great. Great music, art, and the gas system is awesome.

Developer

Thanks so much!

It's a simple but very well polished chill fishing game. I'm digging the artstyle and music. Good job!

Developer

Thanks so much! Is there anything you think I should’ve added to it?

I don't really know. Maybe something to give a sense of progression or a goal, like upgrades, or even bigger mega-eels with some sort of scoring system based on weight? I don't think it's a game fitted for insane challenges, it's perfect as a chill game. Just a little something to keep the player engaged would be nice! :D
