So good ;3
THIS GAME IS SO COOL
I like this game! Short and sweet with a charming style that reminded me of Ukraine for some reason. A nice balance of risk vs reward as you fight against the ocean and its sometimes unforgiving RNG. I also just really like fishing games. Check this one out!
maybe can be the post-apocalyptic environment
Great game! super fun
an absolutely awesome game! short, sweet, and insanely addictive. love the art and designs and learning how to order your priorities was such a fun challenge!
Very good game!
Very nice game.
There were situations were I had to make a choice of wether to risk it and get one more fish or not. More often than not, getting the extra fish killed me. After 2 or 3 deaths like this once my health dropped bellow a certain point and I didn't have additional health kits I just dropped everything and asked for extraction, even if I was in the middle of catching a fish.
I would say it taught me a bit of prudence.
I really enjoyed it.
Lovely little game
Fantastic little gem of a game! Love the pixel art as well
here from Demora's showcase of browser games, and this is great. I would love to see more, this was great fun !
greatly enjoyed this game, wonderful little gem that's just the right length! really relaxing :)
does this game save when you leave
It does not. I think that's part of the charm though.
the multitasking is fun and the ending was sweet
It's been fun. Don't think I didn't notice what that death scream was. The only bug I've run into is sometimes using items leaves the text of what they do on until you get your next fish. Not sure what causes it, it's only sometimes. Also I wouldn't mind a fish compendium/bestiary to see all the fish you've caught/missing and what their bonuses are.
This was great!
a sweet, satisfying experience ^_^ the fish are made with such lovely pixel art hehe, i wish there was a bestiary!
I LOVED IT!!!!
These nuts and more after it breaks some s***
:D
really cool game!
А я вас сразу узнал - Даже не знаю почему.. Серьёзно
Но это же выыыыы
Play it on a daily baisis genuine peak
this is a really great game. its about an hour long if you want to complete it. its got good replayability. 10/10 would recommend
SORRY BABE. THE SEA IS A CRUEL MISTRESS BUT SHE CALLS TO ME, OH GOD SHE CALLS TO ME
sea>girl
Great game! Love the atmosphere and gameplay.
great game. i would leave the controls up on screen. no need to negate the information just to have that not there. i had to restart it to take it in (remember the playing is literally parcing all of that information (images - what the game genre is etc) all at once at boot up. no time to take in the tut contrls.
other option is a close button for it.
after i figured out the fishing i didnt know what i was doing. onboarding the player is a pain in the arse but is so so important if you dont want ur audience to disregard your game.
great game. real cool visuals. could be a jem
My guy pls, PLEASE listen to the comments, this game would be fire
Not a bad game, it's like a copy of dredge but this thing is like more into 2D and the game at the beginning is kinda hard
A really enjoyable game that I think with a little polish could really shine. I really think this could do with a pause menu that let's you actually quit the game without needing to alt f4. Similarly the ability to save your game would be great for a longer run. Lastly like the latest comment says a fish encyclopedia would be so fun to see how many fish you've seen in your game.
beautiful game.... i do crave a fish encyclopedia. but i know this is merely my fishing completionism heart...
is it only my thing or is it a feature?
i cant save and every time i play i have to do everything again, is it supposed to be that way?
game is fun but you need to add a way to cut the evac time down
Лютейшая имба, мне особенно нравятся названия рыб.
I love the game, the artstyle is really nice and i love organizing the fish to get as much money as possible. Its a really fun game :]
ALSO LOOK I GOT 2 GOLD FISHES AT THE SAME TIME >:D and with all that money i saved my sweet sugar glider love, how beautiful
I really enjoy the game and i love the artstyle for it. Hope you make more of this.
Really freaking fun, i enjoyed a lot, however i didnt see any real reason to level hp
it saves a lot of money in heals over time and it allows you to go for longer adding bonuses together
The game is really good and fun to play, but I'm using a trackerpad instead of a mouse and don't know how to use the items :(
other than that it's really cool!
use two fingers i think that should work or double tap or soemthing like that
love it, great art and addictive gameplay, would instantly buy if this was made into a full game and expanded upon :)
Same.
