Fishing + Upgrades

Click and hold to power up, release to cast.
Click and hold to reel in your line.

Upgrades allow you to go deeper and catch bigger fish.
If a fish has "..." above its head, it isn't interested in your lure, time to upgrade!
If a fish has "!" above its head, it will be too strong for you to reel in, buy a new reel!

Cool, very cute graphics! Nice mellow interpretation of the theme, though it can be a bit slow. Some calming music might help, but good job!

Neat little game, but I can't help but feel that there's too much of a "grind" between fish. Cheaper line length upgrades, and more tiers of fish feel like it could have helped this (as well as not requiring every new fish to need an upgrade, it seems like)

Cute little game, but a bit too slow for my tastes :) I got bored before I got more than a few upgrades... perhaps if there was a better way to control the lure once in the water?

Doesn't seem to work on safari :(

Pretty fun though I didn't have the patience to get all the way to the treasure chest.

There are a lot of fishing games published for the competition, but this is easily the best so far. Simply cos it was easy to understand and play. Well designed!

It looks great! The game can get a bit repetitive pretty quickly, but the graphics look good and it plays smoothly. Great job!

Great game, played it through to the end. It would of been nice to have some audio to go with it.

Awesome graphics, gameplay is a little slow to my taste though.

It did feel like I had to grind a little, but it's a well executed game well done.

Cute game, would have been happy to see the reel in time a bit speedier, but maybe I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now ;)
Overall I thought it was quite addictive and very relaxing. Good work!

Quite addictive! But I felt that the effort needed to get the highest upgrade wasn't worth it:P

So cute! But I think it takes too long to get the upgrades.
