Great funny game! Love the art style, good job!
I was just a bit confused about how to buy an upgrade the first time. I thought it was spacebar (or left clic), but it wasn’t, in fact it was written, so my bad.

Cute art. Nice typing. :)

What great work! The game is polished and very fun, plus the art is excellent. I really enjoyed it—congratulations.

Simple game but I love it. Very competetive lol.

It's a simple game, but I like it

Really like the idea and the presentation!

The amount of feedback polish is great.

I'm not sure if the upgrades were working properly, but maybe I didn't have enough money to spend - I think all it needs is an extra life at the end of each round!


Well done on finishing.

Hello! Thanks for the feedback! All the upgrades actually work; some are just for decoration and a sense of completion (like the cat and the campfire, which have easter eggs at the end).

That makes sense! Then maybe making it clearer to the player they work is more important. 

Keep up the great work!

It's very good in term of polish, probably one of the best in term of gameplay, but I think that the restart after you lose all lives brings the experience down. From the start it felt like the perfect cozy fishing game, but after having to restart 10m into it I just didn't want to do it all over again.

Apart from this issue, imo it's still one of the best, good luck :)
