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.
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!
I LOVE FIHSING, Charismatic and warm game with really nice art. btw the music sounds like C418 LIKE WHAT, ITS AMAZING
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!!!
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
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!
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!
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!
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!
