This game was an absolutely blast to play! I'd love to play a full version of it sometime! I loved the race to get to fresh water to add time, including such sources as the toilet and sink.

Thank you so much for playing Rinn! I played your game as well and thought it was really well done!

This game is so fun, and graphics are very charming as well! Noticed the fishing rods give an extra 10 seconds and went ham crustacean! The goldeneye-esc ending music was cute :)

Developer

thank you!

Not only did I get to stick it to the big men and throw their beer overboard, but I also got to do it to a spy movie music. Very fun idea for a jam game - simple and funny.

Developer

thanks so much :)

Developer

Thank you lija! I did the music for this game and had a ton of fun working with the silly aesthetic! 

Submitted(+1)

Awesome! Love it!

Developer

thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Haha this game is hilarious, the graphics and animations and music all tie it together *chef's kiss* 

Developer(+1)

thank you!

Developer(+1)

I did the music for this game! Thank you so much, I'm glad you thought it all worked well together. I'm grateful to have been a part of such a talented team!

I love me a game with an inconvenient control scheme. It was super fun, and you even added some stuff for completionists. Super well done.

Developer

thanks :)

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game, I felt very passionate as a fish trying to steal all the items hahah

tried really hard to get the people off.. is it even possible? xD

Developer

glad you enjoyed! it is possible to get them all off, although pretty tricky!

Submitted(+1)

It's unexpectedly fun flopping about as a fish!

Developer

im glad you enjoyed!

Submitted(+1)

LMAO poor Angelika... Such a funny game! Love your take on the theme, death really is an opportunity to steal as much as possible. Wish I knew what all the stolen items would be used for after my death and why I wanted to die for it though, but the end screen was hilarious xD

Developer

thanks so much :)

Once I figured out the special "mechanic", it was smoothing sailing. Managed to get all but 3 of the normal and 3 of the secret items... no clue where they are lol.

Developer

did u manage to get in the safe? and the laptop can help you get a secret item, ALL moving items are collectible

Submitted(+1)

ohh I did try to get the safe near the dynamite a few times but rage quit because it was so hard to move xD

Developer

haha good to know that might be a bit too hard

Submitted(+1)

I got real close and then it fell in the ocean T_T but glad to know I had the right idea

Developer(+1)

I hope that means you discovered the captains secret mixtape hidden in the boombox... I did the music for the game and that was by far my favorite moment. I haven't seen anyone mention discovering it yet hahaha

Submitted(+1)

Oh like the song that plays? Yeah that was pretty funny and actually kinda bops. Made me jump when I bumped into it the first time xD

$2133, beat that my folks

It's a game, get the highest score. I love that. It's fun, takes a bit to get used to. But there is a reason to restart. Not because of the amount of fun. But the idea of getting all of the items.

Only problems I had were you could drink the bucket of water outside the bucket, and the fish jumped a little too high. But those are very minor.

The Massive problem is the fact that it's I can't see it matching the theme. Doesn't match it at all. But fun game beside that

Developer(+1)

thanks for the feedback! glad you enjoyed it :)

Developer(+1)

My high score is $13200.00 and I'm challenging people to beat it. There's a screenshot on the game page. Good luck ;)

Developer

Also, just wanted to add our take on the theme. The idea is that you're a fish so set on stealing stuff that it kills you. By choosing to go on the boat and inevitably die it gives you the opportunity to rob the fishermen. At least that was my take on it.
