Always great to see another fishing game in the jam! This was a great take on the theme. I've always said fishing games could use more gratuitous violence. Nice work!

The was a great idea and very well excecuted! Playing as a monster fish in a fishing game is quite a twist. I also loved jumping out of the water and killing all the people in the platform. The only thing I noticed is that my fish didn't seem to die or take damage despite the harpoons hitting me.
That was a great game and concept, congratulations!

Devs vs DummiesAwesome job. The music really sets the tone for the game. It would be interesting if it would ramp up in intensity to accompany the leveling up of the fish! Nice

Ai, ai, ai, A.I.!The art style and overall polish were exceptional! I didn't feel like there was much strategy required to beat the game though. After my fish got big enough to jump to the humans, there wasn't much they could do to stop me, and i didn't need to pull them into water anymore either. The harpoon fishers were a cool concept, but it would have been cooler if there specific counterplay for them other than avoid them and try to outheal their damage. That being said, it is still an excellent game.

Zombies are People tooGreat! I felt there could be a little more strategy involved, I didn't really need to think much, but that's fine / nitpicky for a jam game. It also doesn't reaaaallly fit the theme too well either. Man though, that aside this is one of the better submissions for sure. Had a lot of fun with it. Not to mention the high quality art/music. Good work.

CrabjuiceNice game. I like the animation of the fish eating (all of the variants) xD And the awesome idea that you can jump above the surface. I was missing some stats, though, e.g. life bar.

Hate Me NotNice visuals and gameplay! Could've a little more challenge though, maybe you can add some submarine bombs for the player avoid while trying to eat the humans.

Addictive gameplay and great soundtrack!

Noob Raiser (GMTK 2023)Loving the progressive evolution into a absolute sea monster, quite satisfying to wreck havoc to the village x) it lacks a bit of a challenge though, you end up repetitively eating everyone on deck without encountering much resistance

Pushy & FloatyNice concept! The game is very polished and the control is smooth. Wish to see more different levels and human.

[GMTK2023] Reversed RollFun concept, felt good to play with satisfying feedback and a very charming presentation. Might benefit from some kind of risk/reward component (a threat the fish needs to overcome), and it could be interesting to add in an element like a combo system (getting awarded for pulling down/eating multiple humans in a certain time frame). Lots of potential, though - hope you keep fleshing it out!
