Very cute and creative game. Loved the art. Catching fish is sometimes a little hard and borderline frustrating especially when all you really want to do is talk to the fish. Though that's simply a minor annoyance. Very cute game :)
nice idea about fishing ,It’s not easy to catch fish. and it's definitelya very cute game. I wish you success.
nice game lol good job
I got friendzoned, that was fun... (in all seriousness fun game!)
fun game, looks like a lot of great work went into making this game!
Very interesting and impressive dating game. I was shocked and overwhelmed when I saw fish expressing their love.
Fish are surprisingly hard to date, who would have known? Very fun concept, the story made me laugh a lot!
Very original concept ahah !
This was insane! I LOVE IT!!! It has amazing visuals for an game jam, great writing, it was fun enough that I played until I got every CG! The secret characters were goofy. I loved checking in on my phone to see if the responses had changed. My game only froze up once. Over all it was amazing, especially for something made in one week!
What a crazy idea for a fish game! I loved it! A bit hard to date the fishes, but really fun!
Good job! You game is very nice looking, and very creative. I would not have expected to rate a Date-Fishing game !
