Good arts! But I would have loved to see some more animations, like in the center art for example. It could have sold the whole thing much better.

The music is great, but the game really lacks sound effects. Like some idle games, it starts a bit too slow for my taste.

On the gameplay side, it’s simple enough to kinda figure out after a little messing around, but I think it should have a small tutorial or instructions. Or better yet, make the interactable elements much more obvious so it’s more intuitive.

Overall I think the music and the arts carries it, but as a game I think it could use some more polishes.

Developer

yup, that’s pretty much our verdict too! thanks for the feedback :)

Nice fishes :3 Though the game obviously lacks an auto collect to function as an idle game...

Well spotted, you can imagine how we arrived at that name for the game :) (we perhaps *lied* about something) 0_0

This was way more fun than I expected it to be and the audio was such a good bop. Some of the mechanics weren’t completely obvious. For instance, I was halfway through losing before I realized there was a stacking mechanic and instead of throwing out fish I could have just stacked them. But overall, this was really great!

Developer

Certainly no shortage of rough edges! Communicating stuff to players is a little outside of my practice/expertise, but luckily it seems to hold its own for our first game jam :) I’m glad you still had some fun with it!

For sure a TOP5 :D Anyway, this game is a bit repetitive, but in a good "idle-game" way and ends at the correct moment! And I love that aesthetic!

The soundtrack is so good omg he’s just hammering that sample I love it! And it fits so well with the gameplay. The song reminds me of the song Club Banger 3000.

“great catch” 🤘😔

This jam has some banger fishing games for sure! Did you see FISHN?

Great Catch!  I enjoyed the fishing and it was intuitive enough to figure out.  I wasn't totally sure what was triggering the legendary fish but I think it was fishing level?  Loved the mysterious cat and the use of the limitation.  Great art as well nice use of the palette and the music is a bop :) Well done!

This game is a nice twist on the incremental genre! I really love the art of all the fish, how it feels to move all the fish around and also the music. Good work! :)

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :)

The art is crazy good!! Just wished there was more tutorial to guide the player. Was captured from the cover art! Great work artists!!

Thanks! Tutorialization, more layering clarity and audio user response definitely would make this game pop, theyre all probably in the future for this thing :)
