Really cool game! I ended up not purchasing any upgrade to get the good ending. Love the surprise twist at the and and the message it gives. The first time I played, I still got the bad ending screen though after having got the good ending dialogue. Maybe the bad ending state didn't reset when I hit the reset button or something? idk.
This was fun, and the art theme was killer! If you expand on this later it could be very interesting.
I really like fishing games, so it's nice to see one here! I really love the art style, it's the stand out feature here and is very cute! I like that the theme as been implemented as buying upgrades for the fishing rod, although after a certain point it makes the controls feel quite slippery. I like that you have included multiple endings too, to further add to the theme with how the endings cost you based on your actions through the game.
although there appears to be some scaling issues with the text getting cut off on the title screen.
I would've liked if there was a little more too it with the fishing and upgrades like maybe there could also be a shop on the map where you can buy bait to catch specific fish or obstacles in the water to avoid? I also think some music and sound would add to the experience.
Pretty good effort overall though! :)
Its definitely a cool game! The game does need a bit more polish especially with sounds. But overall, you did great!
I ended up over fishing and got a bad ending. The paper art style is super creative and cool. I wish there was more to the fishing, but could always be something to add onto. Was short but I had fun!
Really nice job!!
Kudos on the artwork and overall nice game,
some sounds could make the gane 2x time better
the art was okay but the message was great
A fellow fish enjoyer :) I enjoyed it! I think that the vibes were good, maybe some music would have tied it together! The art styles is very nice and unique.
I really like the take on the theme! It's also just a nice message as someone who likes to go fishing. Since there are a few different systems, I don't blame you for fitting in audio, but it would have really helped to have a cozy theme that maybe slows and pitches down when you over-fish. Just an idea! Also, I like the crayon-style map and assets. They are really nice.
Good job finishing a game!
Thanks! The 3 day time limit was a challenge, but i do like the music idea. I'll keep that in mind for any future projects!
