This is such an amazing game, especially done in such a short time. 
You paid attention to every little detail and the game seems to be made with such love, I am so impressed. This is exactly my type of game- I didn't imagine that anybody could pull something like this off in such a short time!
The controls are intuitive, and while I did need a few tries to understand how to fish, it soon became easy enough to not get frustrated (unlike in other games with fishing -_-)
I really liked your characters and the whole idea of having a plot on why you have to clean the river. Art and music were obviously really well done and fit perfectly into the vibe. 
I really enjoyed it, good job!

Liked the game, liked the visuals, but sadly, i think the "spin to win" theme is just not there. It's a game about fishing, not about spinning. You "spin" to fish, but the point is to fish.

played this one late in the evening, it was super calming and a very cute game !!

Very relaxing game. Ambiance was great, quests from animals were funny, but it lacks quest list UI, so I felt a little lost. But overall it was very enjoyable.

I really really like the aesthetics and style of this game. The writing too is really well done and the atmosphere you’ve created here is incredible. However i feel like you created a game and then tacked on the theme requirement to it as an obligation rather than worked with the theme to create an interesting concept. Regardless I really enjoyed this.

I really like the dialog and world building. I also like how the art looks. I couldn't figure out how to equip no bait if that's possible. I kept accidentally using my fish as bait.

...How do you even make this in a week bruh, like how. I love it, but maybe disable other keys when you're fishing, and also, the arrow keys work like wasd, why didn't you say about it?

Not the most engaging gameplay, but I don't care for fishing much in real life lol. The art style and ambience is really nice though.

Calm fishing game. Just seems abit impractical to 360 the fishing rod. But what do I know, I dont fish

super relaxing, love the art style, and i like how ominous the animals are. however, after i did the first mission, i got tons of fish. then, i went to the sheep, who told me to get a sick fish, which i'd gotten a few of. when i checked my inventory, all the fish from before were gone!!!

Yeah I guess I didn’t communicate that, you automatically equip caught fish as bait for other fish.

I completed two of the missions (after several fishing attempts). Also I am unsure if it's intentional to start with only holding 1 type of fish to start. 

I do like the visuals, I see some of the characters likely still missing assets. It was comical hearing one of the armless capsules talk about their "hands".

The gameplay was ok I had no idea how to play it I left clicked when my rod would bob in the water but I would collect no fish so I'm unsure how to play and because of that I didn't enjoy my experience. Enjoyment 1/5.

The game concept was very creative I enjoyed all the little characters personalities however I saw no spinning! Creativity & Theme 3/5.

The visuals were masterful from the inventory UI to the players model the only issue was how simple the NPCs looked compared to the rest of the game. Visuals 4/5.

There was no sound track and the sound effects although they were good they were also few for that reason I rate audio 2/5.

There was no seriousness! 1/5.

This game gets an 11/25 on the Juniper jam scale.

hi i was also confused on how to fish but i figured it out! i think you only reel in fish when the exclamation appears over the main character's head, not when it bobs.
