Nice artwork! First time i played i couldnt manage to pull up the fish, if clicked on the fishpedia while on this state the hook would fall into the sea haha
after reading the comment below i tried again and then everything worked ! fun game, fuzzy controls over the hook and all. Congrats on your entry!
Managed to grab a crate (didn't spot any other bait items) and even toss it into the water. Once a fish bit, though, I couldn't figure out how to reel it in, even after clicking and holding LMB. Might just be me missing something.
The reel speed might just be slower than you expect. I probably should have added a reel-in sound effect.. Thanks for the feedback!
Exactly this! A rising sound after the fish bites would be perfect to show that it is indeed going up. It's also really fun to pull the rod back to "catch" the bait, very creative :D
i tried it but couldn't get the fishing to work, is it not trackpad compatible (laptop mouse that doesn't have a middle mouse)
Sorry to hear that it didn't work with your setup, I did not test on track pad. You don't need middle mouse to play the game though, just dragging the cursor is how you swing. Apologies if I didn't include enough instructions.
it's all good man, just a heads up though, readability and understanding how to play the game are super important especially in jams since there's usually not time to make an interactive tutorial
