beautiful pixel graphics, if you animated it, it would be a paradise for the eyes) chill gameplay. Good job!
Thank you!
Thank you very much ❤️. Glad that you liked it
absolute cinema
fih
FIHS 🔥
The art and the music are awesome. As for the gameplay, I've got a few complaints:
- I won't even talk about balance, it's just dead. 🙏
- I'll never understand the very idea of putting time limits and quota into a game that's supposed to be relaxing and calm. I know that the quota is extremely easy to achieve, but that's the issue I just said I won't even talk about.
- Catching fish in day 1 is very underwhelming as 90% of fish won't show any resistance whatsoever.
Thanks for the feedback! The balance was absolutely cooked 💀
Thank you very much! Balancing just don't exists, it's a bunch of random data XD. About time and quota, I'm seeing about this, I don't know about the future of the game yet, Cane suggested the idea as a Roguelike with Balatro feel (if you're on Discord you can see the earlier concepts using the side bar of Balatro XD). Again, thank you very much!
cool teamwork game ngl
Feel free to check and rate my game :)
Thank you very much ❤️
i loved the art, the music is fitting and the gameplay is pretty chill and relaxing. really nice game
Thank you very much. Glad that you liked it ❤️
Amazing game, I liked the music & art. While normally I'm not a big fan of games like these I did find myself enjoying this one.
Thank you
Thank you very much. Glad to hear that you liked it ❤️
I LOVE FIHSING, Charismatic and warm game with really nice art. btw the music sounds like C418 LIKE WHAT, ITS AMAZING
Thank you very much! Glad that you liked it ❤️. Ghostly said that C418 was one of the main inspirations
nice game i always like fishing
Thank you very much! Glad to hear that you liked it ❤️
Beautiful and quaint. It feels very nice.
Thank you. Glad that you liked it ❤️
Thank you. Glad that you liked it ❤️
This game is a nice relaxing fishing sim(: I like it
Thank you. Glad that you liked it ❤️
Felt like the most relaxing therapeutic online fishing experience ever.
Top notch scenery art, music and sfx were amazing too. Like I could fall asleep to this music <3
Well done! Love it!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you ❤️
The art is top tier. The vibe of music is really nice. That casting animation is beautiful. Simple gameplay that can easily be expanded for a cozy game. Good game
Thank you very much ❤️
Great game!
The game is so relaxing that when I launched it for the first time and closed my eyes for a moment while listening to the music, I woke up an hour later. Normally, someone falling asleep while playing your game wouldn’t be a good thing, but in this case I think it’s actually a plus, haha.
The music creator did an amazing job.
The artist who made the backgrounds is a genius as well. They are absolutely beautiful. The fishing rod also looks very nice.
The buttons, HUD, and the fishing animation could be a bit nicer visually.
Something feels off with the balance. After the first day, I managed to buy a multiplier of 75735.0 and upgrade the fishing rod to level 3, which resulted in earning massive amounts of points. After the following days, however, I couldn’t afford any upgrades in the shop at all.
If I had to nitpick one more thing, it would be the sound of pulling the line. It would be nice if it played when I actually click, instead of always starting from the beginning of the animation, but that’s a very minor detail.
Overall, this is a super chill game. I love the atmosphere you managed to achieve. It’s one of the more interesting vibes I’ve seen at this game jam, and it’s also nice to see a relaxing fishing game, which really stands out among the other entries. Once again, I’m genuinely impressed and looking forward to your next games.
(Oh, where should I start 😅). Thank you very much for the feedback! Glad that you liked it ❤️. The game is very unbalanced, yeah. We managed to add all the fishes in game on the lasts 45 minutes of jam, so it's a bunch of random values 🤣. I'm taking notes about this, in some days I may try remaking it outside the jam 🫡
Very relaxing with great art and music. Doing some stuff to keep the UI clean (formatting score as something like 3.3B instead of the full number and making a scrollable container to put the text in as a fallback) would help fix my only complaint. Nice work!
Thank you very much for the feedback ❤️
as a person, who doesn't play idle/clicker games, this game made me wanna try.
Glad that you liked it ❤️
This is such a tranquil experience! I really enjoyed it. My only comment would be around the inventory button being pushed down as your score increases. I managed to get my score to span over 3 lines, and my inventory button was completely hidden by this time. However, not a bad game and I'll definitely see myself playing this to just relax a bit. Great job!
Thank you very much for the feedback ❤️
A nice game to empty your head.
For some reason I can see this game as a future concept for an idler
I recommended the game to be an idle game, but no one listened
Thanks for the feedback
Adding to feedback it would have been nice if we could end the day after meeting the quota, or maybe that just me
It makes sense in the actual game state 😅. We had to narrow down the scope so much, we couldn't rethink about some decisions. Thank you for the feedback
I'm going to try a remake in about few days. If so, I may not do it as a exactly idle game, but I may add something around this. Thank you very much ❤️
I love this game so much! :D. The art and music is top notch and the gameplay is just relaxing :). I also loved fishing in stardew valley so I also love this game a lot. Great job!
Thanks you so much, although i never played stardew myself, TheInfinityGlitch suggested using stardew mechanic and made 99.9% of the fishing mechanic
Thanks so much ❤️. The fishing mechanic would be a copy paste if I was Erick Barone btw 😂
Nice art! Also very relaxing I appreciate this kind of games, just a doubt I know you say its not well balanced but not sure I should have this many points on day two:
Think I got the shop multiplier by 3 without thinking too much, any way good work!
Thank you very much ❤️. Thanks for the feedback too (btw, the score count can grow so much that the inventory button goes away 🤣)
Oh! Then I must see it breaking myself at all costs! :P
🤣
Thank you!, yeah balancing is kinda broken, thanks for the feedback
