Extreme Fishing: Shark Bait Edition by stephen321

[raw]
made by stephen321 for LD 41 (JAM)

We combined platforming and fishing.

alt

Controls - W A S D to move - E to start fishing

Description You have to try line up your fishing rod over the fishing spots below and start fishing. If you successfully hit one then you have to press all the keys displayed in a limited time to catch a fish and get a higher score. Sometimes instead of a fishing spot appearing, a shark will! Don't get hit! Lose a life on hit. Lose all lives or fall into water is game over.!

Tools Everything was made from scratch using the following: C++ SFML Visual Studio 2017 Spriter Bosca Ceoil

This was a really nice take on the theme guys, was difficult to master, but I had a lot of fun trying. Really good job and worthwhile playing for anyone else reading this!

Sadly i cant run the game. "ucrtbased.dll not found".
You can tell me when you've fixed this, so i can play and rate your game. Cheers.

Hey! I got the following error while trying to start the game. Possibly a missing/misplaced file?

Coolest shark animation! They really look spooky.
Game play is also fun, but I would like to see some sort of multi deck fishing ship, or a bridge instead of red bars.

@articulated9 I've included the missing file and reuploaded (you can just download again). I think I know what the underlying issue is and hopefully I can fix it. Thanks for letting me know.

Smooth animations, good looking graphics overall. Music was nice, but I missed some sound effects. Good combination of fishing and platforming, well done!

@stephen321 Sorted! Working now :smiley:

Decent entry! I especially liked the sprites and the animation was very smooth. The two themes were present and worked well also.

Nice one! :smile:

Although it's a bit frustrating it is a nice entry. The character animation is very funny. I just thought about sharknado when the giant shark attacks. It's hard to play but is very good, nice job :)

Fun to play! The animation is fluid and everything is responsive. Nice take on the theme. The shark mouths flapping had me cracking up haha good job all!

A very challenging game, but fun. Some of the fish spots last for absurdly short periods of time, meaning even if I'm already standing in the right spot I still can't get them. But other than that small frustration, I really enjoyed it. The animations are amusing and I had fun dodging sharks.

OOOOOOh SFML!!!
I love your game, I usually make my games in SFML as well!
In this jam I made the one I have on this account as a joke, but you can check the one I made the first day in SFML (not my best creation, and dedicated not much time on it though) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/christmas-tree, but maybe you can get smething interesting from the code if you are interested, and obv, we can share knowledges and expreiences if you want : D

Yeah, It's working now! Had a fun time playing the game, altough it is very hard. The spawnrate feels a little bit off and the music is a bit repetitive. Besides that, nice Animation and fun idea. Respect for not using an Engine. :)

Yea its working now. That shark animation is sweet. Next time you should include some sort of instructions. It took me a while to figure out I had to push the E button, and where I was supposed to cast. Great entry otherwise! Give ours a shot! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/infinite-typer
