How does your game fit the theme?
This is a Fishing Game, where you need to go deeper and deeper to catch various spieces of fish
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code is ours, graphic assets are mostly (excluding one background and two fish spieces) ours, midi music is ours and sound effects are freebies from the Internet

not bad
Cool game! especially like the sounds and the encounter animation! I found the pokemon style battle a bit random, and the "your hook is too weak" message disappeared too quickly for my liking, but other than that pretty niece game!
I really liked that you go into a 'pokemon battle' when hooking the fish. It was unexpected. It was a bit hard to figute out what buttons to click in the battle though. Also it was a bit frustrating to reach the bottom all the way, just to find out you can't catch anything there.
Besides that nice assets as well!
Great combination of mechanics. Want to point out that fish combat mechanics are a bit confusing - hard to decipher the meaning of icons. Although I still won somehow :D
Original and good idea.
Very cool! I really like the fishing ( combat ) system :D Lot of cool ideas!
Music really works in your game, loved the mechanics too, and yes, battling was fun though I found that double arrows button was all I needed to win, but maybe I misunderstood something.
This game is awesome!!! It is fun to play, I don't like fishing, but I liked this game 😂it made fishing seem cool. When I catch a fish, I wasn't really sure what exactly was I doing when clicking the buttons 😅 I would usually use the wait and the pull, and it worked all the time. But in general, great job!!
I was sucked in by the description, at first thought the fishing mechanics were going to be quite simple, THEN I GO INTO A POKEMON STYLE BATTLE?! awesome twist on the fishing genre and great use of the theme! would love to see where this game could go!
I enjoyed it. Thought the idea of the pokemon battle a great twist to fishing games. Just thought the 4th ability was too overpowered. Not sure if the difficulty changes a lot the more you play it
Love the difference this makes in the jam, so innovative yes, but could you some polishing here and there but nonetheless great submission for the jam! gg
Weak graphics, dull colors. In general, the idea is good.
I really liked the graphics and the game design.
It was nice to see different mechanics and creative ideas on jam. Nice arts. Nothing much to say. Overall good job!
Can you try and rate my game ?
Cool concept! I like the mix of fishing and pokemon-style battle, it gives off really nice vibes!
The only thing I have to point out is that I was a bit confused what each abillity did.
Great work :)
I really like the mechanics, the battles are a great idea and are great to play. I really like the artwork and style too. Really nice work
The combination of fishing and pokemon is hillarious :D Well done
LOL! Half Pokemonfight half fishing? 5/5 Innovation! :D Well done! That`s a new catch to an old genre! Great idea and well executed. Nice entry.
I like the idea of turning fishing into a pokemon battle, very interesting idea. I found that all the fish I tried to hook were vulnerable to being reeled in and won each contest in only a few clicks. I also saw a menu of different hook and bait types but was unsure how to select from them. The hook manipulation was pretty cool as well, having to pull against the current essentially.
Yeah, I agree with your entire post.
its good my only real complaint is I wish there was a way to dive faster.
Other than that great job
