LD41 game work- Theme is Fishing + Shmup (side-scrolling shoot em up). CONTROLS- Arrow keys to move, Z to shoot, go up to the blue line to reel in the catch. Art by the lovely Balduranne. Made exclusively for this jam. EDIT- This game is an incomplete prototype at best- as I ran out of time due to various reasons. Things I wanted to get in but didn't have time to- -More fish -A scrolling level -a better main menu -Fix a bug where the fish cards didn't have sound when revealed. -Fish shoot bullets. -Boss fish -"Reeling in" survival event for each fish. -Music for the main game.
I'm forced to agree on that count. This game feels basically incomplete. I showed up and shot a bunch of fish, which earned me points, and when I went to the top of the screen with or without a fish I would get a fish info page and no way to go back into the game except through the main menu. I'm not really sure what the point was.
The idea would have been to go down as deep as you can (there would have been a boss fish at the bottom, but I think I overshot my ability by a little bit, not a lot; just a little bit), get a fish, and come back up.
I don't really understand the game. If I shoot a fish it dies, I can't catch it, and it just keeps coming across the screen while dead. If I don't shoot the fish, I can catch it, go to the top of the screen and then the game is over?
Hope maybe you finish this, since the concept seems fun! :) I was just confused about why the fish disappeared even though I didn't shoot them? Also why is there a menu screen when you move up hehe.
