i wonder what happened to the 2 lost legs of SixArmBilly

The only issue is that it feels like a prototype: as other people said, having some kind of narrative progression would really help. But hey I love fishing games (we even made one for a previous jam) so I enjoyed yours!
Really like the animation effects on the boat / character, how everything feels kinda squishy / elastic.
Some small feedback on the fishing cycle could be nice, if there were certain distances /depths / speeds to cast, to get different fish, and some UI feedback ( timer circle / bar ) to show if fish were nibbling etc.
Bra å se at det ikke bare er jeg som deltar i Norge! :D
I could easily see the background sky slowly fading to a different color for different zones based on the other concept arts.
Love Babyfin !
Here are some thoughts:
- Narration / Story
- Bestiary that also highlights the different creatures you've caught
- Day/night cycles because they looked gorgeous in your post!
- More in-depth fishing mechanic, maybe with lures/baits
Big love to ye for playing!

this one was also nice

I really dig this thing of expecting the next cool creature ... the art and ambience are awesome btw
this is really a nice experience, I just wish there was more feedback or some fishing minigame like the one in dredge ... I often had no idea what I was doing to do the fishing and just went clicking everywhere randomly
Glad to see you plan on continuing this game. I think it could come out really good.
the fish names were funny too
good entry
