It was pretty funny and was cool, but I struggled to actually get the mechanic down.

Love it, stardew valley's fishing is the best fishing mechanic I tried, nice twist on that.

I absolutely love this game. This is the kind of fishing mini game that calls to my soul.

I want to collect all the humans <3 and the art is amazing!

i caught a human weighing 230kg. truly a monstrous catch! i didnt know that species can get so big. it's a great and hilarious game! i love the creativity here

I actually made a mistake in the units. I implemented the range thinking of pounds, but then put KG on the text 😂

Not the most challenging or engaging really. But it's cute, funny and well made. Pulling humans around with your tiny fish mouth is definitely a highlight. Certainly underrated so far.

I've played a LOT of fishing games already in this jam, but this is my favorite by far. Most are based simply on avoiding the hook, but in this case there is a real role reversal in the Stardew Valley fishing mini-game. Also, I think it's hilarious that you're the one who takes the human to his fish tank afterwards. 

Also visually and animations are very neat. Congratulations! A great job!!!

this game made me rly laugh! loved it.

I couldn't figure out how to get to the top of the bar so lvl 2 was so hard, I cant pass it :(

that's a shame cause I wanted my human to have a friend! XD

the sound of the fishing rod was a little bit annoying after some time


good job! I loved it

I had to catch 8 of them. Very fun concept, I did not expect what I found with the first dive. :D It is creative and clever in basics. Very nice work.

Nice game. I can imagine that really well as a mini game in a bigger game or as it is on mobile. I really like the human tank :D Well done!

Nice little game, reminds me of the stardew valley fishing mechanic!
