Thanks for the kind words everyone!  There are a lot of features I wasn't able to finish and the controls are not as intuitive as I would have liked, but I am learning a bunch and I appreciate the feedback!

It's impressive that you did it on your own. Keep it up.

Nice little survival game idea. It took me a while to get the hang of the controls, but i soon had sustainable farming with nets and a nice walkway going on. Sadly I didn’t see the shark again after that for whatever reason so never got a chance for mortal kombat with it.

I liked the concept of the game that you came up with. The shark was really cool to see come onscreen because I tried catching it for food! (I died). The controls were a bit confusing for me. I don't understand why there is a separate mode for using the fishing rod when that is the entire purpose of the game. I also couldn't figure out how to reliably reel in my hook when I didn't have something on it. I like the concept for the game but I felt like I didn't understand the controls very well. An idea to make the controls more intuitive would be to exclusively use the mouse for everything fishing related. I would make casting left click and reeling in right click. Then, if my fishing rod was already out and I tried to cast again, the bobber would instantly teleport back to the player (dropping whatever it was attached to) and allow me to cast wherever I wanted again. Just an idea but I think that you have a really solid foundation for a good raft survival game.

agreed, a little grindy, but nice abilities, I just didn't really get caught on the grind cycle - love the survival take on the theme though:)

A bit grindy, but I i let myself get addicted with the fishing and harvesting. Well done! Also the character the so creepy but kinda cute
