Nice concept and I really like the way you control the fish, it feels very organic and like directing a fish swimming about - control, but not fully precise. I really like that.
The worms I struggle to get because they all spawn from the top but if I go to the top to try and catch the worms, there is almost no time to react to fish hooks coming down from the top. Maybe if they fell at different speeds and there was more of a "deadzone" time where that the fish hooks don't instantly catch you when they first spawn, that would add just a little bit of leeway and more strategy by giving the player reasons to go across the entire screen, rather than just the top of it.
Good work!
Very unique!
This is a cute little game! I could totally envision it being a mobile game :0 I do think the controls could be a little better but that might just be my trackpad ;v;
Well done, fun game! Loved it when other fish "stole" my worm and got instant karma of getting caught :D
Simple but fun and polished! I like the risk reward mechanic.
Nice game! Reminds me of old flash games i played during school (starts crying). Good job guys!
Pretty cool idea, I love the concept, keep up the good work!
the vibe of the game is pretty cool, it feels like something I would play at a modern arcade game for tickets
Very tricky game, my high score is 13. Wasn't ready for when they started dynamite fishing (??). I love the controls and the risk reward of wanting to get the worms at the top of the screen before the other fish get them.
This is a very fun little game! I really love how the player fish spins around the cursor so you can't just be safe by standing still, great job!
This was a very addicting arcade type of game that I could honestly see being a well performing mobile game! Very fun, art was good, the theming of reversing the players normally playing as the fisherman was so interesting to see! Good job!
This was surprisingly addictive. The movement has that Flappy Bird factor where it's just frustrating enough to make you think you'll master it next try. The risk/reward of competing with other fish was clever. At first I thought it was one of those games where you grow larger as you eat, which might be worth considering since I also struggled to distinguish my fish from the shoal sometimes. Small touches like the fishbone volume sliders were very cool. Nice job :)
Haha I love this so much!! The music and the voice are great and I love the lil dead fish for the audio controls- amazing vibes and very fun game !!
Good take on the theme! The "Hey I got one!" audio made me chuckle :)
Nice smooth movement controls too.
great take on the reverse role. great controls!
Gameplay was nice, I enjoyed playing it!
Reverse Fishing bro!
Its nice you got the worms to draw the player up to the hooks. The fish orbiting the cursor certainly brings its own difficulty to the controls but its fun
Very nice! The first game in the jam i am played with pleasure - art, music, fun - i love it
Look Ma I got one! Love it
