really creative fishing mechanic!, i agree with some earlier comment, the dash(hold) needs a visual feedback
Opening was absolute cinema. Good sound design too, creeped me out!
Never played a fishing game with mechanics like this. Really unique!
One of the most unique fishing games I ever saw, the mechanic of morse code is very fun! great job
A very interesting take on the fishing mechanics. At least I have not seen anyone do this before, but it is very cool, and would be a fine way to spice up some catches in fishing games. Cool idea!
(posting my comment here also :D) GREAT INTRO! Fun idea! LOOKS great! I'm thinking if we're able to fill the barrel something fun happens but that's too hard a task for me. Great game though!
The gameplay is good. The goal is too much for me though XD. But I really liked it. Maybe adding different value parasites would help.
Very interesting mechanic for a fishing game, reminds me of the dbz buus fury fusion minigame. I will be in the audience clapping for when the intro cutscene wins best picture at the oscars :)
super neat game! lowkey thought something scary would pop up but it was nice! I agree with one of the previous comments about the hold space button automatically entering the code after a few seconds (I too was nervous I wasn't holding it long enough haha) but this was fun and cute!
haha yeah definitely something we would add if given more time, thanks a lot for playing! :D
Love the fishing mechanics. With the background music used, I was expecting something scary to pop up
Only improvement I can suggest is to make the hold space button to automatically enter to the morse code after few seconds (I was holding the space key and didn't know how long should I hold for dash to come out)
yeah thats something we did think about but ran out of time unfortunately! but thank you for the feedback, and thanks for playing!
Brilliant use of morse code for a minigame! Very innovative for a memory game
thanks for playing! :)
Fun game. I wonder if there's anything when you fill out the bucket? I got a little too impatient to fill everything haha.
Love the Morse code sounds. I usually am pretty bad at musical game, and I know this is not a musical game but I feel pretty good at this game.
Arts is fun too but feel a bit messy. Wish there was some more animations and juice.
Overall I had fun with this. Great job!
thanks for playing! unfortunately there isnt anything that happens when you fill the bucket... xD maybe if we had more time, thanks for the feedback!
A fishing minigame that isn't 'Wait for the bobber to wobble' or 'Keep the bobber in the target area'. Very compelling and elegant, if a little easy, but there is clearly potential for this to be expanded or adapted as a mechanic in something bigger. Nice one!
thanks for playing! yh we didnt want to just do the same old bar minigame. some of the fish were intended to have higher difficulty with more beeps to remember, but it didnt work properly for some reason in the final build lmao
what the hell this was so fun
Glad you enjoyed!
Fun fishing system, was really cool!
thanks! :)
Crazy intro, fantastic lol
Lovely simple gameplay, if you'd like some constructive criticism, it'd be nice if the morse code was a sound that immediately started playing as soon as you hit spacebar, this would make it easier to know if you've held down long enough
thanks for playing!, Yes we did consider that with the morse code, probably wouldn't be tooooo complicated to add but we prioritised some other stuff to get done on time xD
Absolute cinema intro. Also really interesting fishing system. My memory is super bad, buuut I managed it somehow lol
xD thanks for playing :)
