This is a good game. I was a bit one coin off from the timer till it gave me a game over.
This is a very polished fishing game! I think my only nitpick is that the levels could've been shorter. Great job!
This is enjoyable! Simple yet engaging. The music is pleasant, the levels feel fair, and the game is overall polished. Great job!
Sweet game^^
The mechanics and the difficulties of the different obstacles and levels works really good.
And the soundtrack is fantastic.
I enjoyed it very much^^
I could see it as a full game with a world map between the islands like a mario bros game and a bit of variation in the obstacles/music/colours between the islands. Then the levels would also be not too long from the time :D
That's a neat idea!
A fun game to fish up some old gold. has the gameboy feel and the Graphics are well-made.
I really like the color palette and the overall art style. I had a great time with the gameplay, even though it was a bit long
The music was so nice in this! Game was fun, just very long for the levels for me. Maybe half the time and requirements. I enjoyed it overall though, great entry.
Congrats on finishing your entry!
The music felt straight out of pokemon trading card game, so good and very nostalgic for me. I finished the game, but agree with others that perhaps levels could be a bit shorter? Maybe some story events in between to space it out more?
On a mechanics level, maybe the player could have a stamina bar for small speed boosts? Altho that does kind of counter the main mechanic of patiently getting heavier items out of the ocean...
Loved it, thank you!
Thank you!
Yeah the game got a bit padded out :/
The original idea was to have an upgrade system inbetween levels where you could upgrade stuff such as your fishingline speed etc.
I didn't get time for that idea sadly, but it will be coming in an expanded version at some point :)
Thanks for playing!
Excellent music, art, and vibes. The levels are bit too long/high scoring. It really makes having to retry punishing. The treasure speeds feel just right, though maybe letting them move down a little faster than they move up might let you save some otherwise unfishable treasures? So many great little touches though (thank you for allowing the player to pick up a treasure in the same space as a piece of trash! that buffer is so necessary!). One little touch I would suggest? Make the fisherman really struggle with the heavier treasures. If I have to suffer through slow movement, so should he!
For real though, this is a great entry, and really captures the Gameboy spirit!
Thank you for playing and for the nice suggestions! I've added it to my list of things to add down the line :)
fun little “fishing” game. music and graphics are cozy :)
Cool game! Simple concept, great execution.
Loved the atmosphere and graphics but it made me want to be able to fish all the trash out of the lake more than getting the treasure. maybe my guy can use the money to pay for lake habitat restoration.....
You know what, maybe he will
Played it once again. Failed to catch a fish once again. I repeat - cool game! Thank you
I will make fish catchable, just for you!
I really enjoyed this. The levels were a bit long, but still really enjoyable loop. Definitely had a great gameboy vibe, especially the music!
Well scoped ideas are the best ideas for a game jam. Even though the game itself is not complicated it ran with a small idea and executed it perfectly.
In the graphic department people cooked really hard, the game looks lovely, has a distinct style to it, which it does well!
SFX and mx are well tuned, not too loud (thank you for the warning though!) and fit the idea of a gameboy nicely imo.
Interpretation is a bit common, but still not the main ideas so well done!
Good game idea, lovely work!
Thank you for checking out my game on stream! :)
I keep replaying your game, it's quite addicting haha
Super addictive arcade loop. If you had a rom of this game I would put on my flashcart for sure! Very fun :)
A very fun arcade game! Love it! Can see it being on actual gameboy
Very enjoyable arcade game! I’d love to play this one on my spare time using a real GB hardware. Also, the whole gameplayloop reminds me a lot of those DSi Ware games!
Awesome job dude
This mechanic is really original! I really liked it, it has such strong arcade vibes. The music is great, very chill. Maybe the levels are a little long, an endless mode would be awesome. Really great game!! :)
Very nice game. I really enjoyed it quite a bit. Such a simple yet effective loop. Well done. Great little risk and reward as well :D
