Developer

Wow. Really good game. The artwork is great (I love how good the 8 directions look, and how it's animated). It's really well paced. The gameplay is engaging, I never thought I would enjoy a fishing game so much. The only thing is that the notification should be louder when you catch a human (I didn't understand at first), and that once I beat hard and maxed out my stuff, extreme was super easy.


I loved the multi button pressing at once, it threw me off at first and I had to try harder. Somehow the f key was always hard for me to press in time too.


More shop items!

Maybe make it so you can build things or like buy decorations for the house you live in, or something like that, I don't know, but expand this world! This is actually a very well made game.

Developer

Already thinking about building a house, thx for the feedback

The concept is hillarious XD The art is so cute and the mechanics is fun as hell. Please expand the game and add more human type so I can traffick (not in real life) :D

Developer

More humans for humaning xd

Submitted

I finished it all while yelling my friend that I was busy catching humans at the library.
Peak cinema🥲

Developer

Peak I was playing this in the library with my friend I made one of the humans after

Amazing game! I love the art style and the fish character itself, but holy, the game is lowkey difficult for people with slow reaction time (me). I enjoyed it overall though!

Developer(+1)

thank you :) I am quite fond of the design I came up with for the fish

Submitted(+1)

cute fish, fun concept!

Developer

Our artist cooked there

The art in this game is very good! the only note I have is that a visual indicator for when you're supposed to reel in would be nice. I was playing this muted and didn't know what I was supposed to do. Otherwise very fun game!

Developer

Updated version is ready, just waiting for the jam to end, thx for the feedback

Submitted

Beautiful art!
My completionist instinct took over and I couldn't stop before catching all the humans :D
Although money becomes pointless quite early in that process, RNG on getting the very last human was frustrating, and no reward whatsoever at the end was disappointing - not even a "congrats" message :(
Still a great experience overall!

Developer(+1)

Thx for playing, i will add some stuff ater the jam to complete the game 

Submitted(+1)

This game is so good bro😭

Developer

Good to hear XD

Submitted

The concept is really fun, I love being a fish and humanning? , with more mechanisms trading humans (that does not sound good), maybe some base management, I'd def see myself buying this game as a chill cozy game to play! (a popup to show what human u got would be nice too)

Developer

Still need to add more humans u can sell (even tho it sounds horrible)

Submitted

amazing game! 

just as a nitpick, i wish there was a popup telling you what human you caught right after catching them

Developer

Thx for your feedback, definitely will add it in after jam update

Submitted

Fun concept and awesome presentation, enjoyed my time! ( OBS: Medium  Lake is mispelled as "Meduim Lake" in the inventory)

Developer(+1)

Thx for playing and noticing, i just have dyslexia xd

The game concept is unique and entertaining, definetely a step up over other fishing-concept games. I love the individual variation possibility due to humanity being so diverse, this adds more opportunities for the future growth of this game. The execution having so limited conditions is, basically, flawless. The art is very high quality - huge respect for the artist - the controls and humaning process feels very smooth and comfortable, the buttons are easy to learn, but the gameplay is "hard to master" to a certain extent. As of current state of this game - it is, perhaps, a bit too easy. As for the parts that may need some tailoring and improving are:
1. Add a visual notification when the fish is on the bober.

2. Add a dynamic lake with the difficulty varying each time you cast the line. This will improve the replayabilty of the game.

The fact that this game was made in only 3 days and it already looks like most early access releases tells a lot about the skills of the devs and the team work involved. Good job guys! Can't wait to see it on my wishlist on Steam ;)

Developer

Thx , guess we can consider future updates after the jam ends

Submitted

At first, I didn't understand how to catch the fish at all :D The mouse button controls aren't really perfect. But then, with the right letters, it's very cool—it's not too easy to catch a fish. I would add something to let the player know that they have successfully caught a fish. I only noticed it in the shop :) 

But it's a really nice game and the graphics are great :) 

Developer(+1)

Thx for the feedback. Now I know that a lot of players play without music, so I will add more visual effects in my future projects.

(+3)

I enjoyed playing this so much I want future updates to happen. I will invest all my belongings into making this game happen pls I want this so much. Also please add Russians to the game I want to catch some and sell them for organs XOXO.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll keep it in mind.

Great graphics.  Why is it so hard to type after using keys for moving XD.  personal problems.
Well made, though it wasn't really clear where i could fish.  i didn't see any indication on whether or not i could catch a fish or what.

Developer

Thank you about the comment about the graphics, I did all the art myself :)
