simple (in a good way) and exciting, like the art and sound effects
That damn shark ate my fishing rod twice

Definitely addictive! It feels good to catch fish with the mouse and drag them to the bucket. The only thing I'd say is that it could be helpful to see like a little +1 or -1 type graphic when dumping the fish just to know if it's a good or bad one. And to visually tell how much more some fish are worth than others.
i really like the feel of this game and i love the sound effects but this game kicked my ass
I loved the simple art style, and I had lots of fun playing the game. Though I did get confused as to which fish were good and which weren't at first. :)
The concept of a fishing game is quite fishy, but it has quite a cool execution. I was a bit confused at first at which fish are dangerous and which are friendly, but after a few tries it became quite obvious and cool. I feel like the timer is a bit too low? I get why, but I couldn’t get my score above a few thousands before the time run out. Cool nonetheless
Very nice work! I really like the concept, as others has said balancing needs a little work in terms of; If you're doing well to be able to keep going further. Makes going for those judgement screens at super high scores super difficult if not impossible if it's only the rare shrimp that helps. Maybe in the last ten seconds increase their spawn rate? Idk.. SFX were fun and the visual style was very nice. All around a very good job! Ended up getting just over 1000 score!
The game is really fun, and I scored 5700 only because I got caught by the shark — otherwise I would have reached at least 6000! The music could have been a bit more ZEN in terms of atmosphere. Great job! If you’d like, try and rate my game too! Thanks.
Very fun and addicting game! I don't know if you were able to do that, but it would be nice if the game was balanced so the player's able to play infinitely if they do everything right.
Thanks! That was a big problem with making the game: balancing.
Making the player be able to play forever with enough skill sounds good but i also wanted to make the game harder over time so it doesn't take forever for players to end a run, see the paradox?
While making the game infinitely harder isn't good, capping the difficulty at a state where the player can play forever (in my opinion) just makes the game boring, the player won't know when to quit (i've had this experience a lot with some infinite score games in this jam).
Broooo why was the fisherman sounds like he is ... XD My roommates looked at me concerned after hearing it lol XD (keep make sfx like that I'm not complaining it's hillarious). I have to say the game is pretty amazing! I like the mechanics and art a lot! You guys done a great job!
A very fun and solid game you guys! I would have definitely wasted a lot of time on this game if I was in my flash game era haha. Excited to see what you do next!
he was a serial kiler, who bragged about killing peoplei'd make it so the shark just instakills you instead of having to wait like 20 seconds so the timer runs out
also i'd probably up the spawnrate a bit (especially after spawning shark)
but idk about if that would make runs go for far too long
I love judgmental Fill, unfortunately I didn't pass 10k, still nice game to play!
Hmm. That's an interesting take on fishing. I hadn't thought about that mechanic before.
