Fishing and relaxing :) Sailing around to catch fish and putting in extra effort for the bigger ones is straightforward and enjoyable! I like how you add more time each time we catch a fish; it feels endless if we’re eager to keep fishing :) The background music really supports the chill and cozy vibes while we fish! I also love the pixel art, it’s solid! Great work!

The pixel art is very nice, and the lonely sea with a warm music have a cool cozy vibe to it. Audio-visually it is pleasing, and mechanically it is very polished! The minigame for catching fish, especially those bigger ones could be something different though, I feel like my Z button is crying for help :D.

The Botanist's DutyI loved the game's pixel art work, with the water texture, and everything! The music and sound effects were on point as well! I loved the concept of the fishing game; however, it is too easy to lose. Maybe make it more challenging, and I suggest adding more fish and like a fishing rod upgrade system (also switching up the Z key!). However, the standalone game is phenomenal! Amazing work!

Lima's GreensThe game is absolutely beautiful; the music and pixel art complement each other perfectly, and the gameplay makes you want to keep catching more and more fish! My only complaint is that the difficulty is very easy, to the point where the game becomes practically endless, but other than that, great job!

Fish n’ PurrEvery game needs a good fishing mini-game… And this is just that!

Chance of ParadoxThe art is simple and pleasant. It would be nice to add more variety to the minigame, for example by introducing windows during the minigame where you shouldn’t press the button, otherwise you lose. Overall, I had a pleasant time.

MEMORIES OF POLAROIDGreat cozy take on a fishing game!
Although it hurts a bit on the long run to smash the same key. Maybe you could change the mini-game depending of the fish?
And Ipu is a cutie!

Late BloomArtist: The artstyle is beuaiful and minimalistic in a cool manner. I love the character design. Animations are very satisfying. And the presentation page looks incredible, I'm in love <3
Coder: Controls are responsive, fishing mechanics is satisying. Quick notes:
- The score is continuing to grow even after the run ends
- The timer shows 1:60 after 2:00, so a game minute has one extra second
- It would be great to have a button like "End run" to see your final score and not to wait 1-2 minutes for timer to end
Overall, the game is entertaning and relaxing. We'd suggest to add any challenge or ways to lose e.g. crashing to an island (as a game over) or stucking in algaes (that slows your movement speed).
P.S. Coder is convinced the character is a bird, artist is convinced it's a gnome. We're curious, who's right lol?

March FestivalThis was very chill game! I liked the idea of the timer increasing when we catch a fish, it's a nice twist
The music loop is well done and doesn't get boring or annoying. The only improvement I can think of is, as someone else suggested, adding another key to mash so that it doesn't get painful during longer sessions.
Great job!

Unstable GardenThis was a cute entry! I like the fishing mechanic, though I wish there was some variation in how to catch each fish (granted, you did an amazing job within the alloted timeframe). I started to cramp a bit after key-mashing, though. Could you make adjustable keybinds or maybe re-assign the catch button to the spacebar? Since it's a lot easier to mash with more than 1 finger.
Just a suggestion though, I like the game as it is regardless.
(also... I like the cozy bossa guitar rhythm and little synth playing too, cute music :D)
