I love this game! But I am having trouble grabbing the fishes with the cursor! :(
But apart from that, It's awsome! :)

A really fun and awesome game. The art is amazing, the audio is superb, and the gameplay loop is hooking.
A very nice take on the theme, and overall, a great jam entry.

Very lovely game! Nice idea and looks great! Same as machniki I also had trouble grabing the fish, where I had the feeling my cursor is on the fish but it doesn't grab it. Really liked it ;)

It is evident that you used tremendous amount of work in polishing, and it really shows! Looks and feels really good! Controlling the arm and catching the fishes seems quite hard because the hand moves behind the cursor (obviously as intended).

The retro theme on level 4 is really cool! I did not reach level 10, but will come back and try again definitely.

@machnikl @plopmenz @sorko Thanks for the amazing feedback. It's really helpfull. I think I shouldn't have added that much lerp to the cursor just because it looked good :P Quickly fixing that!

Great concept, simple and fun! The hand felt a little unresponsive but overall a really nice game, good job!

Wow, this is the first one I've played that I have trouble believing was made in 48 hours. The level of polish and detail is seriously impressive, and the escalating difficulty feels really well tuned in. I also liked the aesthetic, it reminds me of all the simulator games that are popular in Unity these days. My main criticism is the same as a lot of the other comments, it would be nice if the hand had a wider grab radius to make it easier to grab the fish. But overall, fantastic work.

The game is great. It would make an awesome party game. Kinetic? or motion tracking game? I don't know. It was fun. The only critique I had was that if I got into a rhythm I could steal the fish out of the red hand as soon as he dropped them. That fell apart about wave 9. I don't know if that was intentional but if not, may want to add a delay. Also loved wave 4.

@quinn-patrick Oh, I actually made it more responsive but looks like it's not enough :P Thanks for the feedback, will tweak the radius and hand speed. There are some super simple magical things that make game fell amazing. Screen shake, screen flash, things flashing on damage or action, basic particles, DOTween and as always, blinking eyes :) I have ready codes for all of those, I don't know if you are interested or use unity at all but they are inside the code-base folder inside game's source code.

I probably gone too far with polish, maybe could'we spend some of that time in adding a new mechanic but hey, that's what I enjoy hehe.

@psychic-ash Yep, I realized that. Thought it would be frustrating if I added a delay, tho you can even steal the fish from the AI's hand directly. Maybe I should remove that :P Thanks for the feedback!

The amount of polish in this game is unbelieveable! Your turn on this theme is really amazing. It's so much fun to play! But I believe removing the cursor and using only our "hand" in the game could serve the gameplay better. It also could be great to see more interesting gameplay elements in further levels. (Side note: MY JAW DROPPED AT 4TH LEVEL!!!!!! and also liked the prize at the end xd)

Very polished, really fun to play.

This was super cool! With a solid gameplay base, you had a ton of time to do some very solid polish work. Of special note are the intro and end screens, I think they're very clean and effective at communicating their information in a fun, novel way.

@yigit-doruk Yep you are right. I should remove the following effect fully. Thanks for the great feedback ^^

I gave you really good ratings as it is one of the best game I reviewed so far ! Even the title of the game made me laugh :smile: Very funny, cute and well made game. Good idea to use Wolframe Tone for the audio !
I loved the small variations like the wireframe shader in level 4 for exemple that keep the game challenging ! Congrats !

Nice game, loved the neon art style mid game, could have been more waves with modifiers like that. The concept is simple but it works, and it does well, good job!

It gets real when you drop one. Such a good game, simple and well polished, well paced and I love the little details like the random retro wave, the way the fish swim around and jump about in the tank, and the reward at the end.

Amazing little game. Had lots of fun. Only issue, is it's hard sometimes to aim well, the hand is too big to know where you're actually clicking, but other than that, It's very cool.
Good job

Really cute and fun. Seems as the little guys also had fun in the pan ;)
It got slightly frustrating sometimes, when the grabbing didn't work, but I guess that is part of the game!
Well done!

So far one of the best games I've seen at LD46. I really loved it, it was quite challenging and kept me entertained for a long time, trying to get to the 10th level, just one more time, and one more time, and once more, and one last try....

Oh man this was intense! My saving grace was catching the fish as the other hand dropped it, but as soon as I made a single slip-up, the game became so much more incredible. I love the ending, the text was hilarious along with the very-much-not-possible-to-read-in-such-a-short-amount-of-time final message. Also the reward is great. Amazing work!

A part from the awesome effects and audio, I feel like it was too easy. I was able to grab the fish right from the hand and put them back in. Not sure if this is because it was patched to be easier. But otherwise loved it. Best looking entry, especially among 3D games.

Edit: I see your comment mentioning you were running out of time. Understandable :smile:
