The vibes on this are insanely good! This feels like a Lovecraftian tone in a fishing game, and I'm totally down for that.

The game loop feels so tight and polished for a game jam; I'm impressed! The only thing I wished I could do was stop the line at any depth. I had trouble catching the last couple of fish types (eventually giving up) because I'd frequently see them, overshoot, and then be unable to retry until I finished winding to the bottom.

This is an amazing game. Well done!

That was a great game! I played to the end, I really enjoyed collecting all the fish. It's impressive that there were so many types! Sometimes I wished I could make the hook go up faster after I maxed all the upgrades though because by then there was no incentive to make more money. One of my favorites so far!

This was a brilliant little game! The controls were simple, the upgrades were all solid and made sense, the choice of graphics worked very well, and the audio and music fix the game wonderfully! I especially appreciated seeing the distant background tentacles of doom as a background element! That really added some extra Lovecraftianness to the game (I’m a sucker for Lovecraftian elements)

I don’t think I have anything I could critique for this entry. It’s excellent! Here’s a link to my stream of the game!

Really cool intro screen! The visuals are really impressive! Fantastic use of particles, lighting and gradients to create the spooky ambience and weather effects above the ship. The sound effects for the splashdown and the particle effects of the bubbles were a nice touch. I like that the music changes to have more layers the deeper it goes. it was really satisfying towards the end where I was catching whole chain of fish. The fish designs were pretty cool too! Overall a really fun and addictive game! Fantastic work!

Quite a fan of fishing mechanics in games. This one is great, and the game loop is super satisfying! The audio/music is spot on, bravo!

What an outstanding entry!

Really liked this game! Pretty fun to play too

I really enjoyed this and had to complete the whole fishdex. I don't know if this was intended gameplay, but my favorite part was seeing how many fish I could catch at once. My record is 36! 😊Also, I don't know if this is typical, but I got treasure chest before the final "fish." Anyway, this was a ton of fun, and I too would enjoy a mobile version. Nice job!

Definitely one of my favourites that I've played so far. A really simple to understand and satisfying loop. The visuals are really nice, the contrast of the ship, ocean and sky. The depths get really spooky and has a great use of ambience. Nice work!

Absolutely couldn't stop playing until I got the treasure :).

Great use of the theme. The atmosphere was very well done. This was a fun fishing game. I noticed that when you purchased an upgrade the cost went up, but if you exited and reentered the shop it reset the price.

i love the pixelart, i love the upgradeprogression system. the audio adds to the atmosphere
Your game is too epic for a jam entry, its exactly the kind of games i like :D
I did the whole playthrough and it was at no point boring. i nearly filled the whole dex, only 2 were missing but i caught the unseen ^^

Just one thing. The prices reset after each round , is that a design choice or just an oversight. for example if i buy an upgrade the next level gets a bit more expensive. but when i just play another round and shop again the price falls back to level 1 prices.

Your game is in my top3 favourites of the jam :D

Great game.

This is a very well made and engaging game! The audio and the backgrounds really accentuate the creepy vibes the lower you go. I noticed a little bug where if you click on the Fishdex, you can't see how much money you have to buy things in the shop until you fish again. This was an excellent game that really kept me hooked (haha) until I completed the Fishdex. Very nicely done!

Super well made game. The fish art is detailed and satisfying. The art and audio team put a lot into it to make it pop. If this is aimed for mobile, I would play this in my free time.

Wow, this is amazing! The visuals and the sound design were perfect! I couldn't stop playing until I completed the FishDex.

Very fun and engaging!  The dopamine hit of getting a ton of fish on the hook kept me wanting to try again.  Also really nice vibes with the visuals and SFX.  Nice work!

Casting the hook just felt so satisfying! The sound and animation gave it so much juice! Loved the overall vibe and how well it tied into the theme. Super creative and fun!

i like it but if you do that at the start the sky is blue and after be red

One of my favorite entries so far. Great graphics,  great audio,  very fun and addicting game loop.
