I liked your art - you built a cool world with one image. The game reminded me of orisinal games, so that's awesome! Maybe too many evil fish? I was getting electrocuted and pounded left and right!
I have no idea what a bell hook is. I was intruiged by this game though and I did have a bit of fun figuring out what to do. Your art style was wonderful, very well made assets. I ran into a bug after my third catch though, everything stopped spawning.
It was a black screen after the loading bar finished on newgrounds, but it's fine on stencyl.
There are a bunch of fish that can hurt me so I was a voiding them until I accidentally caught one and realized it was a timing thing instead of just good fish bad fish.
That was very interesting to play. The visuals are ok, sounds too. Lacking some progression though, like spending money on upgrades, or maybe going deeper. Also the fish that rams you constantly is annoying as hell :)
Very cool for a quick fishing game! Presentation is good and all the different fish are nice incentives to keep playing as you try to figure out how each one works. Haven't figured out that dark blob fish yet though... :o
Haha cool idea, and very nice graphics, good job! :)

Pretty nice game! It looks great and handles pretty well. Unfortunately I wasn't sure what I was doing, or what I was fishing for. The little mini game after you catch each fish was fun, but when I first encountered it I thought it was strange and sort of random. But I enjoyed exploring a bit and it was interesting!
the intro screen is SO gorgeous! And lovely graphics in general! I second the remark about too many deadly fish. More positive reinforcement to the player means they will play longer (sometimes :) )
Nice game, the "fishing in the desert" is a cool and original take on the theme. I liked the creatures and how they interact. The art is very well done, too.
I dig the unique creatures and the overall concept. Could use some more polish and extras, of course, but that's only if you plan on extending the idea. Great work!
I really enjoyed how many different sea creatures there are, all with different behavior. Unfortunately, the control scheme made me click outside of the game a lot -- some sort of fullscreen mode would probably be ideal for a game like this.

The art is really nice though.
Thank you to those who pointed out the problem.
