I love the "bass" pun, the start screen is already a banger. Also I really like the font you chose, can I ask which one it is ?

Small detail, but you can bind controls to physical keys so that WASD becomes ZQSD for AZERTY keyboards (It's ok I played with the arrow keys).

I didn't get you had to mash A several times once you reeled the fish. But the minigame art is banger too ! However the idea to keep the level from the first mashing into the second one is great !

At the end I think I couldn't get the last dialog (it was skipped) because I was mashing A.

Excellent game ! You should really add a thumbnail because you game is worth the detour but with no thumbnail you will get less reviews than you deserve

Thanks so much for playing! I'm honestly surprised you found it with the current state of the page - I'll be updating that as soon as I find the time. Needed a little break after pushing right up to the submission deadline... 🫣

I'm not sure how to bind to physical keys on Gamemaker, I didn't know this was a thing. I'll have to do some research for the future. It's unfortunate Z is a standard A button or I could just hard code the additional letters!

Yeah the telegraphing between the minigame phases isn't my favorite, it was a last minute simplification... I had originally built the second phase as a central box with arrow keys coming in from all sides - but in playtesting this change felt a little too complex to understand quickly. Maybe I should add a big 'MASH A!' graphic or something. 

The font is one I made custom for this jam. It's actually my first time making a font so I'm glad you liked it! I guess I can upload the png if you'd want to use it. 

That's a good 'catch' about the final text box - it only said 'Thanks for playing!' ... So I guess: thanks for playing! 

I will update the page to be nicer soon! I'm stoked you still made this little back lakes fishing detour, you're a real one 🤝
