Salut à toi, monsieur Jam Shaker!
Je me suis trouvé empli de tristesse quand j'ai vu que ce jeu n'avait pas encore de voix, et je me suis empressé de tester ça et voici mon commentaire post-evaluation n.n

Je me trompe peut-être, mais je n'ai pas trouvé de fin, est-ce simplement un manque de temps, ou est-ce que le joueur est censé se rendre compte qu'à force de trop pécher, la mer sera vide, et finalement les choses étaient belles avant notre intervention?

Dans tous les cas, jolie ambiance, une mer mystérieuse emplie de béstioles étranges qu'on a envie de découvrir...

Interesting concept. I didn't like that you are "teleported" back to the beginning when you fish something, and also that the webpage the fish leads when eaten is opened in the same tab as the game, closing it. Also, thanks for leading me for some interesting stuff I never heard of before :)

Thanks for the comments!
Gaeel: Nice interpretation - myself, I'd say that it doesn't have and ending because the whole game is meant to be a "beginning" of sort, a nudge toward existing things...
Zupoman: the "teleport" is there to artificially increase the lenght of the game ^_^ ... Also, the closing the page when you eat a fish was meant to give so "weight" to your choice and imply that the real game is about enjoying your find. But maybe it's a bit radical, you're right...

I did NOT understand that I could reel in the fish...
This changes everything!

ah ah, you're not the first to miss that... We should definitely add some kind of visual hint ^^'

I... just fished up 'Call Me Maybe'. And my fishing is being impeded by some katakana. Bonkers concept, but looks cool and can't argue with a nice fishing game :D

That was weird. But in a good way! Took me a while to figure out how to reel in the fish. And I have no idea what the point was, but fishing for weird stuff on the internet is always fun ;)

YEAH!! Nice movie)))

pretty decent game. the music in combination with this nice pixel art set the right mood real quick =) I am enjoying the mood of this game more then the gameplay itself though

Very cool concept, it took me quite some time to figure out how to reel the fish
Helopol29 Apr 2014, 16:15
AWESOME concept, really. Hard to fit it in the categories of the LD tho, but you can say that's a sign of originality :>

Serendipity's back!
Well done, this is really clever! I might use the editor to list my 10 favorite LD entries ^^

Really awesome concept. Not good as a game but a really fun way of searching the internet :) needs more explosions :)

This is a very intriguing idea.

Cool concept! I don't like that catched fish is going out of the screen so fast, that sometimes I can't read what I found. Anyway, nice relaxing game!

This concept is really fun and ingenious! I'm agreeing with Crooksister that it does feel more like browsing than playing a game, but it's an aid to get to cool and funny stuff.

Overall this game feels polished and has a clear concept.
Graphics, Music and Gameplay are all well-made and fitting.

I would really like to play this more often if I could filter the results at least slightly, so I can omit YouTube classics like Gangnam Style... Maybe by using different baits^^

Keep up! ;)

Excellent concept!

Fun idea but it didn't work too well for me. the eat and release buttons only worked some of the time.

The game can be so meta when associated with LD entries :D

Really smart and creative idea! I loved digging for all the fishes to see what links each one had.

Nice art and fishing mechanic. Good job, overall. I did not understand why it was redirecting me to web pages at all.

Great game ;)
Also, it will be better when you eat the fish, it will open to new tab instead the same tab as the game ;).

Great concept! Loved the contrast between melancholy mood and absurd gameplay. Well done.
