Very relaxing and it's very funny how he throws the fish away after catching it! Loved the pixel art!

The pixelart looks amazing! Woah! The fishing was also very nice and the different fish looked very derpy when I pulled them out of the water (in a good 5 pixel size of fish kind of way)! Good game :D!

Cute little fishing game. My rod also got stuck on the bottom on my first time but realized if you click higher up that doesn't happen. The shading and animations are nice, specifically the water and the fish catching. I enjoyed!

I lost the fishing hook off the bottom of the screen a few times before I came to these comments and read about double clicking on the fish to reel them in more quickly. Now I can't seem to replicate losing my bobber, but I think the fish must've scooted it before. Still, this game is so lovely and the dedication and cs were wonderful. Good luck, well done!

I really liked it ! I wish it had more to it tho like having a shop etc.

Absolutely adorable little game! Would love to see more of a tie-in with the story, maybe if you get specific fish you have flashbacks or little cutscenes to really push that this is about rememberance vs just fishing with a story attached

Slight bug, I can just double-click to catch fish if they're above the pier, which made me giggle a bit

Hope you give our game a go and enjoy it!

Solid game, fishing felt smooth and intuitive. I liked the fish silhouettes.  Some rod sounds would be nice though one of the big things that always feels nostalgic for me while fishing is the woosh of the cast or the clicking of the reel. Overall fun game!

18/18! Great idea, congratulations for this project! I really enjoyed seeing the fish appear once they’d been caught :)

Cool game, very nice art and visuals, I love the camera tween when you caught a fish, and the Shark sprite is perfect! 

Congrats for the game :D
