I absolutely adore the art style! My biggest wish is that the fishing minigame was more unique. While the Stardew Valley-like system is fun, it would be fun to see it expanded.

A fishing game after my own heart. The visuals are some of the best in this jam, the retro filter is marvelous, and the mechanics are sound. I was transported.

Thank you so much for the compliments! Sadly there's a problem from our side... we didn't have time to playtest it with several people which led to a difficulty curve very accentuated :( But we are glad you liked our game
