Every game should have a fishing minigame! Anyway I liked the fish behaviors, I didn't like having to fill all these data in a mandatory way. Plus I did not understand how to close the book and go fishing again. A button to close the book when I want would be nice.

this was very relaxing, i think maybe having names for the fish would help. i was a bit confused here and there, but I enjoyed my time and felt like it could be something I would play when I need to relax (:

Thanks! Yup, the names would be great

It's neat that you added a drawing function (though I am terrible even with a mouse). Like how others have said it would be interesting if there was some kind of memory mechanic where you had to submit certain features. Maybe get some kind of achievements or points for documenting it correctly. I know all games don't require a story but maybe you are fishing with a friend and there could be some light commentary. Like "oh I remember this guy, such and such bragged about catching one the other day." Or if it's too small something about having to toss it in. Maybe there's a timer for some friendly competition with someone else. But then again I feel like this game has more of a chill rather than competitive vibe. The fishing line could only reach half way up the water. maybe you could add more range. Thanks for submitting

Thanks for the comment! The idea of the competitive mode is intresting. Shurely adding a story or some dialogues is a good idea. Thanks a lot.

The game felt kinda confusing but the art was pretty cool and the drawing mechanic was pretty interesting.

I didn't finish the game because the mechanics about writing what shape and what color the fish was  didn't work that well to me, maybe it would've been better if even those were checklists too, maybe a submit button that would give hints about what you did wrong to give more feedback to the player could've been a great addion plus a timer showing when the fish would escape.
But overall is pretty a good game

Thanks! We know the game is a bit empty and that can be updated with a lot of features, thanks for the advices

Cute game! I’d like to see more fish, or the types not be caught more than twice. It was a little confusing to keep catching them when they had already been added to the book. I liked the book, that was a neat idea, especially the free draw section. It could use a “close” tab for when you’re done inputting though.

Thanks a lot! We only had time to add a few fish unfortunately, but the original idea was to add more fishes and also another biome. We really appreciate your comment!
