It was so cute until the end... :(

~T U N A~

Nice game! the mechanics are very simple but very fun, and it's actually quite a challenge to catch the bigger fish with the help of the terrain

(+1)

hehe i caught the yellow dot on the radar fish with only a level 3 boat(islands are my best friends)

LOVE THIS!!! AND IT'S CUTE TOO

(+1)

did i just... killed all the tuna?

...

LOVE THE GAME SM <<<333333

It's all about the goldfish gun!!!

(+2)

why so sadness ending..

i was thinking the same

that was actually really fun. My time was 19 minutes!

(1 edit)

do the tuna/fish respawn or is there a pre set amount

fish fish fish fish fish

VERY cute game and the fishing mechanic itself is fun but aw man :( Overfishing

A very relaxing and innovative game. There is a clear goal, and it is to catch tuna while also upgrading to make the whole process easier. This whole idea does indeed come with consequences though which is clearly shown at the end of the game. This is well thought out, and I enjoyed it wholeheartedly.

(+1)

can somebody pls explain this ending \_(---)_/

(+1)

it's meant to be a satirical parody almost of innovation? throughout the game the village gets bigger and more industrialized, and the ending shows the overfishing that happens and what it leads to, a lack of tuna. Might be reading into it but I really enjoyed the ending, shows the dangers of overconsumption and industrialization (if you like this topic I recommend looking into 1800s America and Britain!!)

(+1)

basically the ending was that the cat you play as (i forgot his/her name) overfished (aka fished too much fish) and then there is no more tuna/fish (aka no more food) and then cats started going poof (aka they died) hence the cat you play as looks sad at the finish screen

hope this helps!

(correct me if im wrong)

AMAZING game but sadness end whyyy i cry T_T

Great timewaster spent 25 minutes on this!

(+3)

Fished to feed the kitties and help them not die. Fishing doomed the kitties. 


Lesson: Do or don't, death.

yep

(+1)

I got 23:02:879

I actually enjoyed this one, Loved the ending.

(+4)

Super fun game! Completed it in 20:20.466 on my first run through. The thought of overfishing briefly crossed my mind at the beginning of the game but I still didn't expect that ending lmao. Still loved it

(1 edit) (+1)

Maybe it is just how my mind is wired but I was fully expecting over-fishing to be an issue so I only fished the biggest fish I could find... let the little ones grow... didn't help :/

Great game though! :D


(27:something)

20:48.553

I really enjoyed this, the cat is really cute!

Nobody has ever done a gameplay video of this yet, so I’m the only one. And also, I’ve done it in 41:34. But great game BTW! Good job.

54:28:0.26 


Great game! We should've taught the kitties how fish farming works so tuna doesn't go extinct

(+5)

I-I caught all the tuna...but at what cost?

(+3)

That was lovely! I like boat games.

The ending is pretty sad ngl.

31:21.311

i spent too much time catching golden fish :/

Ditto.. all hidden at the edges for me!

I liked it a lot! kind of disappointed that I couldn't actually automatically fish ( I was expecting to magnetically attract all of the fish i swam past) . I was also never able to catch the big yellow fish. was that intentional or am I just bad at the game? 

(+1)

Dunno bruhh, 'cause me Neither xD

(+2)

I CAUGHT IT

(1 edit) (+2)

WHEN CAUGHT IT SAYS "LEGENDARY CATCH!!"

oh nvm theyre not special i got like 3 more

(+2)

Yeah!, finally i caught it! but just one lol

I caught them all and all the semi-legendaries too!!!

(+2)

so adorable, and very amazing ending

(+1)

Nice game, I like it, no rushing to catch fish. if you could add something to avoid of repetition the and add more fun

(1 edit) (+1)

* * * * *(5), just wish the ship would not jitter and was smoother while moving, v0.1.2 -64x.

Super cute.I really like it

epik game. got 23:59.701

I enjoyed the idyllic atmosphere created by the peaceful music and gentle graphics.

It was interesting to be able to catch stronger fish with upgrades.

The end of the game made me think that maybe this cat was happy to fish and eat tuna in the beginning, but now he is like a machine that has lost his emotions to just catch tuna, but I was convinced when I actually saw the ending at the end of the game!

Where is the Good Ending!

(+2)

When the tuna population was revealed to be constant, I knew something was up.

You didn't need upgrades, just scare the fish into a cove and then you can catch any size as they swim towards you because they are trapped and pulling you towards them!!

I do like game play real fun! for the Sounds and Audio you can make a volume slider for the music and sfx. For whatever reason Unity3d webgl sounds and music are always loud

Hi, there’s audio controls in the pause menu :) but we’re working on a post-jam version that fixes the audio balancing

Please export to macOS

Amazing game!

(+1)

anyone figure out how to get other endings? i can only get the sad one :(

(+1)

idk if there's other endings

(+1)

dang

(+1)

Yesss! I love every game you make!
