FishOut by auxC
Challenge your post-apocalyptic friend to an unlikely competition.

In this game you face the other player in a 1v1 boat race through a toxic wasteland.
There is a catch though: fishing is involved. The local fauna does not seem very appetizing, but it surely has some other uses, right? You'll figure it out.
Bring your buddy or try playing vs the silly AI, and see if you can be the first one to cross the finish line. Watch out for sharks though. Sharks ruin everything.

Simple but really fun game. Good job!
Nice music and gorgeous graphics really gets me in the post apocalyptic atmosphere.
Maybe at that age it really becomes a thing!
Congratulations!
* elevator music helps add the chill vibes that accompany fishing in a nuclear wasteland :smile:
* I think a parallax background would help sell that "enormous wasteland" feel.
* The "map" that shows how close each of you are to the finish line is good, definitely helps player know when progress is made (or lost)
* the art is great, the giant piles of garbage and bug-eyed fish definitely give the game a quirky lightheartedness :D
Overall it's funny and well designed, loved the concept of fishing and racing! They're indeed quite the opposite.
Bonus points btw on the custom launch icon, it's little touches like this that always catch my attention.. ;)
Btw. did you work on Kingdom:New Lands by any chance? Your Jam game gives me the simillar vibe :).
The art is really polished and the gameplay feels really solid. Unfortunately I couldn't test it against another human player, but I can see the potential of fun there is on a 1v1 duel against a friend :)
Great job!
