A really fun game with a great music! Overall I liked the pixel graphics and the music went really nicely with it.
I tried to catch the fish but the timer to enter the keys went too fast for me and would always disappear before I could finish pressing. Was it inspired by Helldivers? Nonetheless an excellent game to chill with!
Hey! Thanks for playing and for the feedback! The rare and legendary fish are, admittedly, very hard. I wanted to have a final challenge that offered some difficulty and actually made the upgrades necessary. I've personally caught every fish... except the shark, which has the shortest entry window for the quicktime event inputs. It is the game's final challenge.
This was my first time making any sort of quicktime event in a game. I learned that there is shockingly little time difference between a trivially easy quicktime event and a borderline impossible one. The difference is milliseconds.
I dialed down the difficulty until it reached the level where it felt slightly too hard for me. I'm older than many in the gamedev space. I figured if it was slightly too hard for me it might be just right for a slightly younger person.
Plus, with one success on a quicktime event you can gain sufficient ground to make up for several failures in a row.
All that said, you are correct -- QTE difficulty would definitely be on the short list of things that would need additional attention it I wanted to make this into a full-fledged game.
