Such a lovely game! I really loved the concept of fishes talking to the player and the art is very good

Oh my god you did an amazing job!! The art direction is beautiful, I love the 2D and 3D mix! I had so much fun collecting all the fish for the encyclopedia c:
The only critique I had was that confirming and fishing had the same button input, which had me fishing a lot even when I wanted to shop :D

I get what you mean, I'm always accidentally plunged into that eternal fishing loop...nooo river....stop fishing.....

The fishing rod has made that decision for us, we will be fishing eternally..

This is so in depth for a 36-hour game and I like that you incorporated a story into it! It took me a few tries to figure out how to fish and I kept just dropping the bobber (?) thingy in the dirt before I realized what I was supposed to do lol but really cool concept and I like how you worked in the theme into it! In a future version with more settings I would recommend a motion sensitivity setting so that the fish can just appear without the swooping movement since it made me a little dizzy but i know i'm particularly sensitive to that sort of thing more than most. great game!

Developer

WAAH thank you!! that's very nice. its always great to hear about new accessibility options, it's a shame a game jam isn't a great time to incorporate them.

Developer

Thank youuu :D also never thought about the fish motion but that is a good idea, not everyone wants fish flying right at their... face. haha

DAAAAAMN NICE STORY!! I loved the drawings! At first I didn t exactly know how to catch the fishes (maybe a small tutorial would have helped)! I really want to see the game published in future, please!
