Story: At the bank of an ordinary river a fisherman throws his fishing pole in the water. The bait glides at the touch of the water. Time to wait
for the unfortunate fish which first makes contact with the spurious bait. Tragic end for a fish, but a happy one for the catcher. Might be a long while and the fisher is here for a break too. He rests himself lightly in the chair and waits. Few minutes pass and the
fishing pole string moves. He opens his eyes. In front of him - a vista of wonders - no sign of the previous river, but endless skies full of
surprises. He finds himself drifting in mythical dimensions. Dimensions of dreams and imagination. But here are the fishes he so nasty tried to catch. They are on for revenge. Cracking the skies and clouds in parts the fishes speed up
to now catch him. In front of the fisherman appears an unconventional for the situation weapon - a laser. No questions. He better starts shooting
right now.
Gameplay: As in a tower defense style game you should not let any fishes pass through the tree. When you kill a few fishes fast enough you are rewarded with a score multiplier. We have few ideas for different fishes with special abilities like dashing and shields, but that is for future development. The deadline just wasn't enough for more.
Controls: W,S or Up and Down arrow keys - gun movement. Spacebar - shooting.

*Update - the links now lead to archives consisting of both x64 and x84 natives implementations. If you can't run one of them, try the other. !! You need Java. If neither of the jars work, please check whether your Java is installed properly or not. The game requires OpenGL 3.0 or higher!!

"!! The game requests latest version of Java. !!"
Yeah, something is wrong with my version so it doesn't run.
@TaoPhoenix I'm sorry to hear that, it might be actually that the native implementations did not match your Java's. We now have put both x64 and x84 version in archives. Everything should be working now and if not then its not anything on our end as a problem.
The menu ran beautifully, however when I clicked to play, the game ran, the audio played, and the UI showed. The game however did not! Such a shame as I was looking forward to playing this.
@Frewz , @elpaulo, @Artylo I looked into it and found what the problem was. The shaders we were using were for the newer versions of openGL. So i've changed it, and now if the openGL doesnt support the new shaders we are using our basic shaders :) Thanks for the feedback! It really was helpful :) -Miro
Main menu looked nice and the music was pleasant, but like some others I got the white screen when I hit the play. Hope you get it fixed, because I would like to try this...

Cool entry guys, really loved the graphics. The hand painted aesthetic is beautiful and the fish design are quirky. The controls feel a bit unintuitive however, aiming is also a but sluggish. That said this is a great entry
It's a small thing, but I'd recommend against RAR files for distribution, especially for a jam game. Every major OS has a native ZIP extractor, but not a one of them comes with a RAR tool. I'm on a borrowed machine with neither a working java nor a RAR tool, so I'm afraid I'm hosed on this one. =(
Amazing artwork and good gameplay. I like your JAVA attempt. I do work as a JAVA developer for my company and all I have to say is: JAVA can be your friend ... if it likes to be your friend ;)
Yes, the game is a bit repetitive but let's say this is a zen-like attempt to calm down the player from the anger of the real world :D
The artworks are really beautiful. Impressive for such a short amount of time. The music was also fitting wuite nicely. The gameplay is a little simple. I would have loved to see some more diversity or some spin on this basic formula for a game. Just spamming space worked best for me, so I missed the Game Over screen since it restarts when pressing space ;) Still a great entry to the jam :)
Cool idea, I don't think the laser was an unconventional weapon but rather unconventional for fishing. The art was fantastic. The music was good but too short, easy to tell it was looping.
Haha, I like the fact that you are on this dramy floating beautiful, idyllic island slaughtering the wildlife! Graphics have a nice hand drawn quality to them.
Good piano sound, but the music was not really for me, after playing for a while it got on my nerves.
Great art and music, it makes it oddly relaxing even when you're swarmed with fish - or maybe fishing feels relaxing no matter the circumstances... Nice work!
Very cool little game. I love the art it looks fantastic and te music sets the atmosphere nicely. The shooting mechanic felt just right and was easy to understand. Well done on both art and code! Awesome entry.
Yeah, something is wrong with my version so it doesn't run.
