One of the best games I have played so far! I love everything about it. I wish there was some kind of objective to the game other than just upgrading the ship and reel and unlocking new levels.

Wow! Great to hear that ๐Ÿค—

Well, unfortunately the only objective as of now is to find the artifact that spawns in the last level.

Once obtained, it allows to catch multiple fish at once.

I did not know about the artifact. I have to find it.

Developer

Then it seems the information in the tutorial disappears too quickly ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

This was great! The sound design was a great match, the graphics were well done, and it was a nice take on a classic concept. 

Developer

Thanks! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wow, that was fun. The pixel arts are lovely. The sounds and the music is perfect to match the vibe. This is really a well-polished game executed well - I consider it complete by the looks of it. I hope we can catch many in one pull though. I will try to unlock the last 2 areas someday. ๐Ÿ‘

I'm very happy you liked it ๐Ÿ˜Š once you find the artifact, you can catch multiple at once ๐Ÿ˜ƒ It's worth considering to put it as an upgrade to the shop however ๐Ÿค” would it be an improvement?

Oh cool so there is artifact for that. Okay, I will find it next time.

I unlocked all areas. Found the ancient artifact. Maxed the upgrades, although I wish the hook can be more faster to drop and pull. That music at ancient abyss is perfect. Did you compose these? Good stuff.

Developer(+1)

Actually, I did compose it! Glad you enjoyed it ๐Ÿ˜Š

TBH, I had to rush a little bit in the end because of the deadline, but I hope to improve the balance some day.
