I worked totally on my own and was intended to join the compo. But I failed the challenge to complete it in 48 hours... Sound is all generated by bxfr. Library used: Flixel
Good effort! I'd love to be able to do something when catching a torpedo on my line - all I could do was bring it up, which blew me up, but perhaps I was missing something
There's a couple of places that could use some polish (the tiny font and making the intro skippable), but it didn't detract from the actual game. I really liked the graphics and animation, and they gave the game a nice cartoony style.
It might have been nice to be able to move the lure left and right, or at least have the guy run a little faster. Sometimes I would try and be smart and catch a fish that just appeared at the other side of the screen, but I was too slow to get there in time. Or maybe I just suck at it :)
Nice work, I thought the sub battle was pretty funny. I did get a little frustrated by the number of fish (not enough) and the number of missiles that hit the ice (too many). I thought the graphics were very neat though and this was a good entry.
I chuckled when I fished up a missile, and I didn't pay attention to the screenshot before playing so the subs were a surprise. I think the simplest improvement for the game would have been some background music. Gameplaywise, it would have been cool to see some traditional fishing mechanics like having the fish fight the line / line snapping. Overall good job, though!
This game is bananas, really good humor and mood. Maybe the fishing controls need more gameplay, maybe the fish can pull the string down with a little bit of force. Overall a fine entry.
My basic reaction to the game is "Haha, what?". I enjoyed it. ;) I especially liked the graphics, especially the guy walking. However, the gameplay was a little simplistic for my taste.

Seriously, I totally would.

Nice game, it would be nice if it had music.
