Such a great, polished game! I loved the whole story. It was really well written and funny. I also liked the minigame, and it was so funny when she kicked the ex-boyfriend back into the pond haha. Amazing art too!
Stunning Game, I adore how easy it is to go through. The fishing is a super sweet concept, fishing out memories from the depth of the character's mind. The music was my favourite touch, it was so sweet and calming to listen to while playing. Amazing Work!
absolutely GORGEOUS! plus the gameplay and the story are incredible! GOOD JOB!!!!
Really wonderful use of shaders, and effects. Absolutely nailed a dreamy feeling of partially remembered memories, with really creative items to fish up and excellent dialogue. I'm not sure if there was a specific instruction that was a lie that I missed. I really enjoyed the game! It is compelling, unique story with very polished effects.
The art sure is amazing, you've managed to make everything look both readable and pretty, the screen was never overcrawded but also was never lacking in visuals.
Dialogs bubbles and dislog text felt fluid and nice to read, also the different sound effects for each character was a nice touch.
The story was nice, but it felt a little rushed, i felt like everything was building up extremelly fast and the context was not enought.
Unfortunatelly the sound was an issue, the sound effects and the soundtrack were great but the lopping was really easy to percieve and also the music loop was being restarted in random moments.
I could only access the settings in the starting menu, so i couldn't change the audio in the middle of the game.
Overall it was a nice game with great visuals.
Really loved the art and the way the music evolved throughout, lovely work!!
Art direction is gorgeous, music is lovely, what a great submission :)
This game is great!
Art is great, dialogs are great, minigames are really fun to play (a lil bit frustrating but it's bc I'm really bad at them), I loved it!
A small comment, when you finish a dialog, if you are near the pond and you click the interact button, it does not let you interact, you have to step a little back, enter again and interact.

This game is soooooo good. Art is beautiful, music sounds amazing, and I love that the limitation was implemented with harmless pranks.
The only issues I had with the game are relatively minor. The music doesn't transition into itself very well, making it feel strange. And my other issue is of personal taste, I wish there was some sort of a count down when going into a fishing minigame.
I'm ashamed to admit I did a have a "IGN Cuphead Reviewer" moment when I came to button inputs (specifically finding the hit box of the person in the beginning LOL).
The art is very good I must say, and I can appreciate all the little animations and polish of said artwork. Music is strong aswell. As a programmer I keep analyzing how you might of made the game, I'd so read a dev log about your progress!!
Truly a unique experince. I agree with other people in the comments that art is best thing here. The gameplay is interesting but because we have three health sometimes I would take out the item withough totally understanding how I actually did it and what was expected of me there.
Grandpa omits a dark aura, unlike Gertrude my beloved.
The game is very cute.
I'd say I don't really feel summer vibes for this one and the limitation exist but there isn't much play with it.
The art is the strongest aspect of the game, the sprites and music, however the music not looping breaks the mood quite a bit.
Overall good submission.
This game was great. The visuals were fantastic, i liked the story, and the gameplay was unique!
really dug the visuals in this! story/mechanics came together really well to capture the feeling of trudging through old memories, this was very cool!
Lovely story, well writen, adorable sprite art!
