Once I found out the most common sense to fishing I was unstoppable. (by reeling forward and quickly reeling back it was so much more easier to get legendary fish bc of the stamina)
44min! legendary catches were such an ego boost lmao :D also the total tuna ko to finish the game was hilarious and lowkey existential.... hes just a hungry littol guy! just a smol kibby with his overpowered boat and haywire hunting instincts love that for him!!
I mean. It's a very cute, game! Simple too. But I hate having to press on the mousepad- ( I don't have a mouse ) just to move. Overall, I love the game. But i do wish we could use WASD, or Arrow Keys. It's a small suggestion.
(Edit:) Also sometimes the game turns tinted red. Idk why tho-
I LOVE THIS GAME BUT HOW DARE YOU... WHEN I SAW THE "automatic fishing" UPGRADE I STARTED MAKING JOKES ABT OVERFISHING... AND THEN IT HAPPENED...
I got 48mins and 34secs
Not the tune in the ocean 😭
I love this game, simple yet fulfilling. and I don't usually finish a game but this one's good. 5 stars
i thought i'd actually get to play with auto fishing but...
This game is funny, but the ending is a little bit sad...
Extremely fun game takes a while though but the gameplay is fun! The timer still runs while the game is paused.
( I did it manually )
lovely game. but i often found myself only finding giant fish. actually its fine with the boat upgrades
I fished all the fish manualy. i dont need automation man
this is the good ending
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
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
did i just... killed all the tuna?
...
LOVE THE GAME SM <<<333333
It's all about the goldfish gun！！！
why so sadness ending..
i was thinking the same
that was actually really fun. My time was 19 minutes!
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.
can somebody pls explain this ending \_(---)_/
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!!)
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!
Fished to feed the kitties and help them not die. Fishing doomed the kitties.
Lesson: Do or don't, death.
yep
I got 23:02:879
I actually enjoyed this one, Loved the ending.
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
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
Quite fun

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
I-I caught all the tuna...but at what cost?
That was lovely! I like boat games.
The ending is pretty sad ngl.
