There's not much to say that hasn't been said, the feedback when you steal something would be great and I absolutely adore your artstyle!!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I am glad you liked art style :3

Submitted

Lovely game, some feedback when you catch something or an indication that you got something could be nice

But good job for your submission

Developer

Thanks for playing!
Yeah, there is a wallet in animation when you catch something, but a lot of folks said that more obvious indication is needed. Will take it into account next time :3

Submitted

The artwork looks great and the overall vibe really stands out. One idea that could improve it further is showing items being pulled upward to make it clearer that something has been collected. Adding character reactions could also create a nice moment for humor and bring a bit more personality into the scene.

Submitted

Fantastic art, loved the vibe!  It's already been mentioned, but would be good to see items being dragged up to show that you collected something, some reactions from the characters could be a good opportunity for a bit of added humour too.

Submitted

The art is very well done! The audio fits in well. As others have said, some more feedback when fishing a wallet would have been nice. Other than that, for a fun, short experience, you really nailed it!

Great work!

Thanks for playing! I am glad you like it :3

The art and animation in this is really cute, the fishing animation looks so good! I really like all the character designs, they make for such interesting world building and give the setting a unique vibe. Very relaxing and cozy.

This works well for the short experience it is! Only feedback I'd add is that when you succeed at fishing a wallet I'd have liked a bit more visual or auditory feedback that I succeeded, as the wallet on the animation alone can be a little small. Even just a bounce on the score number might have drawn my attention to that element of the UI sooner and clarified that I was doing something right!

The score, but especially the time counter, don't have enough contrast with the sky to be easily readable.

Lovely work!

Developer

Thanks for playing and giving detailed feedback! Much appreciated :3

Submitted

Good stuff! Focused, short experience, with good visuals and audio and an endearing vibe. Congrats! :)

Developer

O hey! Your game is in my "check out later" list. I will take this as a sign to finally play it :3

Submitted

Art is very beautiful! The colors are so pleasant to the eye, and I love the scene you created. I found the gameplay loop to be a bit confusing as there wasn't a lot of information when stealing a wallet successfully, and also no penalty for casting too rapidly. All in all very enjoyable to look at and play!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I thought drawing wallet in the end of the rod would be enough, but I should have added sound and pop-ups. Will take it into account next time! Anyway, thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it :3

Submitted

Really like the art and the idea, also love the pun. Great work!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it :3

Lovely art direction, everything looks out of a picture book with the hand drawn feel to the background art. Like others said, I think there could be more feedback when we actually catch something, like a ding sound or some more visual flair to make the simple gameplay even more satisfying

Also liked how the umbrella ped blocked your line, that was a great touch 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!
I am so glad you liked the umbrella, I had so much fun picking ricochet sound for it :)

Submitted

The art is great! I especially like the animation and sound of the f(ph)ishing pole. Simple gameplay but easy to understand. Like someone mentioned I would also appreciate some feedback on a successful throw :)  

Developer

Thank you for playing and giving feedback :3

Submitted

Great art, the animations and characters are very well drawn, and I like the pun in the name. Some extra feedback on a successful catch would make it even better. Congrats!

Developer

O hey, a fellow pun enjoyer!
Alright, I will take it into account. I thought making different animation with wallet  would be enough, but yeah, adding some sound or extra pop-ups is a good idea

Submitted

Cool game! The art is cute and polished, nice job! I think if you spam spacebar it keeps fishing and earning points. Congrats on the entry! :D

Developer

Thanks for playing and giving feedback! I will try to find a way to avoid spacebar spamming next time :3
