Clownfish

Neat and challenging game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the games from the GM48, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/kfb6IM-P_cA

The game really looks good ! But please, don't make us talk to the npc every time we restart, you can't even skip his dialogue fast, there's a timer :(

Really like the music and the graphics, but the game play lets it down. I only caught one fish and it was by accident. I thought I would be able to pick up the harpoon after using it and didn't realise the bait actually caught fish until I came to rate it.

Yep, I agree that you really need to plan ahead. 48 hours is really few to make a game, considering you still need breaks, to eat, and sleep.

The pokéb... I mean, the capture balls didn't work well in my end. It kept missing fishes despite touching them; I guess I either got wrong how they work or something, but the game lacks information on that.

Also, the game iszoomed out too much in my opinion! Everything feels so small

I echo other players' feedbacks, but just wanted to jump in and saythat I really appreciated the music! The above-water and below-water musical themes fit together perfectly and the kind of slidey/droney synth really went well with the rocking boat and waves.

Great idea for a game and I like the art done for it.

I couldn't catch any fish, not with a harpoon or balls. Seems to be too hard for me.

Cool artstyle and music, the idea for the theme was alright, but you didn't implement it well at all in my opinion, everything was in the right place, you should've just polished it a little more and explained it well in-game, since it's not the most intuitive system. I still had fun though and the game world was pretty immersive, thanks to the music more than anything else.

Neat game. It's a shame it's so short. Catching fish is pretty fun. Fighting fish could be fun too, but (as mentioned) the harpoon mechanics are poorly explained. I also feel like you should be able to pick the harpoon up after throwing it.

That aside, the game feels quite polished. There are some nice details such as the rocking of the boat and the cutscene when "Nemo" appears. The graphics are overall really nice. I especially like the background with its parallax effect. The music is also good and fits the game very well.

First off i really loved the art style! As another comment mentioned, some instructions would have been nice. But I figured it out pretty quick so not too big of a problem there. The music was very water level music! Well done!

Music fit really well. Helped with immersion.

Had to play it about 5 times before I got it. Didn't realize you had to wind up the harpoon. Thought I had to use it to catch fish. And still not sure what the RMB does exactly (throw a poke ball that catches fish?). I was able to beat it though. And the Nemo thing was a fun cameo.

Bit more instructions in the beginning would have made it better, and since it was a mechanic you already had really well flushed out (the Fisherman and his text), I would have put in some control instructions there, such as 'press [KEY] to catch fish'.

Bonus points though for trying to tackle multiple rooms. When he dived in off the stern, I was like "Cool."

Cheers!
