Love the Cuica in the music, great game!

This is an awesome idea! Love the dual management asymmetrical style gameplay cleverly fitting the theme and ocean aesthetic, great job! My only gripe is that the fuel bar is quite poorly balanced, I can't finish the race no matter which fish I choose despite doing pretty well going through the rings and eating the other fish as much as I can. I think there needs to be more fish in the water, or the fuel bar needs to drain slower if you ask me. Still had a lot of fun with it though

Super creative take on the theme! Was a bit tricky to figure out what I had to do but I loved it once I did. Big potential for a full mobile release or something :)

So much personality and creativity! It took me a while to get a hang of all of the mechanics going on at once, but when I did it felt awesome. Also the music and SFX kick ass.

I really loved the game haha, it's so goofy but I think the gameplay is a lot of fun! The music is goofy, the artwork is goofy, but it works so well together, and I like the concept of trying to figure out where and when to cast your rope so you can get the best fish for the race! Great job

This is like one of the most creative combos of genres I've seen. Like having the fish be your engine is so cool. And the game mechanic is really well done where you need to pay attention above and below. All in all amazing work, congrats this is awesome. Oh and the art is super stylized, I love it. And if you like puzzle platformers feel free to take a look at my entry!

Very fun game, I like the way you interpreted the theme. Loved the art style!

Really cool idea ! I really dig the art style, the funny music and the gameplay is really cool! (even if it's hard to control both the fish and avoir obstacles but that is of course the whole point)

The only thing I have to say is that it took me some time to understand that I needed to press Space to avoids surface obstacles (I'm dumb). Good job, really fun and cool concept !

The artwork is great. Really fit the narrative of the game. It's fun to race to the front with a hooked shark. I had difficulties to get to the goal because the healthbar got low so quick but it could be my low skill.

I really like the game play and art style, it felt so cool after getting the big shark with the lasso!

I love the art style! Fits the theme, colourful, that "wobbling" effect, just so nice.

Music is kinda repetitive, but I don't know why, I like this way. Sfx feel... raw but I also like it. I guess I'm weird.

Gameplay wise, having to both look up at your boat to jump, and at your fish, to go through rings and eat fish to not die is kinda hard. Sad that you can't catch a new fish when your previous one dies. Or maybe you can, and I just don't know how.

To be honest, I didn't even finish a race because I'm so bad, so maybe I'm missing stuff.
