Your game was such a cool concept. I really liked how the fishing and card battles weren’t just separate ideas, but actually worked together with the timing mechanic super inspiring!!
Thank you! That is so nice to hear :)
Really original concept! I liked the mix between fishing and card battles, and the timing mechanic makes the fights pretty fun. Nice idea overall!
This is my favorite game so far out of 30 played!
Gameplay is addictive in a good way, you want to build a better deck.
It feels like a game boy game, art is pretty, animations cool and the soundtrack feels like it belongs there.
Did not get a feel for the second theme that much more than you gather and spend gold but thats okay.
I could not save my game though, Is there a save function at all?
Good job!
Thank you!!! : D
You're right, we probably could have worked the theme in a bit more. The goal is to collect ancient gold from the boss fishes.
tons of fun, loved this! loved the sound of the fish in particular lmao
Thanks for playing! We were so blessed to have @Scrumblob on the team for the music and sound design!
Love the art
Music is great
Love the Ability to swap the color palette
overall Fun game Great work!
My only recommendation is to add your controls to the Games Page
Glad you enjoyed! That's a very good suggestion, I'll get right on that :)
Finished! Awesome game all-around, fantastic job to you all!
The only feedback I have really is that I didn't realize I was exhausting cards by skipping them until near the end, not sure if it was just a Perception/Reading Comprehension issue on my part though.

Legend! That is very hard to do haha! Thanks for the review!
Sorry, we should have had the foresight to include other builds. I'm not sure it's within jam restrictions to share additional builds at this point, but thank you very much for your interest : )
(deleted OP cause I have a Linux skill issue apparently lol)
Man, I really liked to play this game. It's super creative and the gameplay loop is sooo satisfying.
The visuals and music/sfx are great!
Really enjoyed this one.
Congrats!
Thanks for the kind words!
Fun loop. That last boss really whooped me a few times before I wizened up to a couple mechanics I was ignoring.
Nice job! That's not an easy thing to do!
Super unique! I'm a deck builder roguelike nut so this was great fun. The music and artstyle were also cute.
I'm a sucker for turn-based games AND deckbuilders so I love this game! I love all the little animations and sfx that give everything such life!
Thanks!!
A fresh take on fishing gameplay with a really cool twist on the genre! The music and sound design is really reminiscent of old GB games and the graphics are amazing, excellent work on this submission!
Really glad you like it!
