There's Always a Bigger Fish - As a fishing sim, the objective is to reel in those big catches. Fishes are scored on their type, but players receive bonuses based on fish length - rewarding those who seek out bigger fish!
One Button - the game uses an easy-to-grasp control scheme that utilizes mouse movement and left-click as a primary input. Casting and reeling is all done with one button. Right-click is also used for menu navigation but is not necessary for the core gameplay loop.

Definitely one of the best games I played in this jam. Loved it from start to finish. My high score is 7070!
Great chill game ! I like the relax music and overall mood ; the levels colors palette from levels I've reached feels good, but it was a bit challenging so I could not pass the last level so far '-_- gameplay is simple but effective, there is an great amount of polish, impressive for a jam game. How it's done technically with a mix of 2d/3d is very interesting. Ho and I also really loved the colorful fishes sprites. scored 6024. Well done !
Very relaxing little fishing game; feels incredibly cozy with the big chunky pixels! Great job on squeezing all of the UI into such a tiny screen space.
Works super well in such a tiny screen, although it felt a bit noisy at times (I would have loved to see that water with just a nice shade of blue, a bit more minimalistic).
But that just works otherwise, a nice and relaxing fishing game
everything you expect from a good fishing game is there... plus the catching mechanics are quite original and the graphics in this resolution are super cute I love it
This is an interesting take on a fishing minigame. Looks super cool for a 3d game in 64x64
Very unique fishing mechanic :)
Sadly the cursors lock kinda spoils the fun a bit, not sure if it is happening in every browser, but FF doesn’t lock it at all, or locks and releases as you can move the cursor out of the window easily, which stops the game from recieving “input”. The minigame is neat, I just kinda wish for a way to “try to catch” certain types of fishes.
Graphically the game look amazing, IMO that carries the experience by a lot. Music is sadly way too loud at normal sound levels, please double check that next time!
Otherwise cool little fishing game!
I'm a terrible fisherman apparently, but this is super cute!
Very nice and relaxed game.
Go fishing in the countryside? Why? I have Hooked! on my computer. Ha ha ha. Good job.
Very cute. You made great use of the UI to convey the information despite the limited resolution. The different fish could have used some more differentiation when reeling them in, as I think there was only one time that I noticed that a fish felt harder to reel in, despite beating the game.
That was a beautiful and cozy game. Summer difficulty spike is not expected though. I really liked the vibe and atmosphere. Well done!
Really fun and relaxing.
This was awesome, I played on mobile and it still worked great. Nice take on a fishing game!
Really fun game. It took be a little bit to understand the controls (ie I finally read the directions), but once I did I really enjoyed this and could see myself returning to play more.
Nice graphics, feels like a complete game.
Minor issue I had is that the game does not lock the cursor to the window, so when reeling the fish it's easy to get the mouse cursor out of the game viewport and then the reeling marker doesn't respond to mouse movements.
