The shark rammed my magnet away on all 3 runs haha, one of them right after I got the thrusters on the boat. Fun loop though, thanks for playing Trash Talk!

Developer

and thank you! for playing magnetic fishing

Hi all, thanks for your absolutely amazing feedback on my project! Just want to address some things you might have had an issue with while playing:
- if you're confused about the controls, you use standard up or down keys to manuever the magnet,
- the upgrades gradually create a rocket ship on top of your ship 
- the music file is a badly mastered, so apologies if it sounds a bit weird. For some reason, LMMS's export features were not working, so I manually recorded the track.
- A youtube video of the *intended* playthrough is now available :

fun concept ! the game is fun and the morale at the end funnily surprised me ! the only con i would find is that hooking a trash takes quite a long time 

Developer (1 edit)

It is coded to take a total of 4 seconds to both pull up and down, originally it was 8 seconds, but I agree I could've reduced it more. You're supposed to manuever your magnet using up and down keys to get the needed trash in the least amount of attempts

Very fond of dodging everything to try and hit the piece of junk I need- definitely a lot of places you could take this concept. Putting a discord ping sound in the music is a bit evil though.

It might've been an actual discord ping in my background, completely unintentional, sorry if it was annoying.  😓

I didn't quite understand what the upgrades did in the game, but it was fun. These kinds of games hypnotize me.

I have an *intended* playthrough of the game on my youtube now if you had trouble playing. The upgrades add parts to the making of a rocket ship on top your fishing boat if you pay attention.

Neat Game!

Developer

Thank you! If you have any suggestions that I could've implemented, let me know! Also, there's a playthrough/devlog on my youtube now if you'd like to see that.

Those are some speedy fish!

Developer

Thanks! Did you get the magnet rammed away by the shark causing the game to restart?

No, maybe I was overly cautious haha. I got hit by a couple of fish later in the playthrough and was getting perilously close to the edge of the screen by the end
