The mood is fantastic. The idea of wanting to stay just a little longer in a world you had an adventure in is so relatable! And the world you created there is beautiful, with a perfect choice of music to top it.

I had a lot of trouble getting the hang of fishing though. Also those intros and outros were weeeeird haha!

Thanks for the game, I actually wanted to stay in it just because it was beautiful!

Very nice cutscenes, I love how they are done.
The music is fantastic too, the experience in the pond is extremely chill and relaxing.
Couldn't really fish anything haha, took too long for the fish to bite and when it did I didn't have time to figure out how to do it properly.
Either way, the atmosphere is really well done and it is really quite a unique take on the theme

Great idea, definitely captured the feel of stalling at the end of a big game. I really had trouble with the fishing as well, just couldn't quite get the hang of it.

I really like your assets. Idea with fishing after the great battle is gorgeous. I had some troubles with getting the fish out but I have solved this problem:D
Good work!

Very nice concept! Super cozy game and a great, very unique take on the theme. I loved the cutscenes as well! Maybe a nice addition would be some more GUI for the fishing part, other than the grey button, but I also completely get that other art and assets were prioritized over that, it looks really nice overall :)

Great idea to use the LD theme!

I love the atmosphere of this game, it's so peaceful. Plus the music and graphic design complement each other perfectly. Well done ;)

Really nice atmosphere. Great visuals and a relaxing ambient music create a nice excape from the stressful world to sit on the beautiful lake and fish a little bit. With the instructions on the website it wasn't too difficult and I caught a few fish. I like the minimal UI style while fishing, nothing to distract from the relaxing fishing atmosphere.
I wasn't a big fan of the cutscenes (although I'm not a big fan of cutscenes in general so that's probably why^^), but they didn't really match the peaceful style of a fishing game.

Hi! Beautifull game! (even the cutscenes ahah) I love the humor on the quest details and the general humor of the game.
It took me a bit of time to grasp the gameplay even with the explanation, I was thinking maybe a bit of UI will do the trick (or a quick tutorial) Nonetheless great work!

This is a good idea for a game. Well done with the idea !
Very atmospheric scenery as well.
I tried to read some of the past quests but the scrollbar is painfully to slow to use. There are also some bad translations but since it seems there was quite a lot of text, it's fine.

Keep up the good work :smile:

I really liked the atmosphere of this game. It was very nice to go fishing with such relaxing music in this picturesque place)

Love the atmosphere, and nice to get those cutscenes in. I know how hard it is to prioritize since its a game jam. Some help in the start of the game, like a tutorial or something would be nice :)

Interesting take on the theme. I love the graphics at the lake location. It felt really tranquil and looked great! It took me a little bit to figure out how to reel the fish in, some sort of indicator could help here. Overall I think this was a great entry, nice work.

The intro was nicely done, and the take is pretty cool on the theme! :)
The gameplay itself could have a bit more depth, but sure it has a sentimental value to me as well! Reminds me of fishing at Goldshire after a few quests in a goldmine nearby :smile:

cheers!
