How to play

Use the arrow keys. Enjoy the mood. Play until you don't want to play any more.

About this thing

I have been doing some work with Flutter, and this jam gave me a chance to try my hand at Flame Engine, which runs on top of Flutter. Learning a new tool meant that progress was slow, and so I didn't get as much juiciness into the game as I imagined I would. I hope that it still brings you some joy.

I wrote a long blog post about my first-timer experience using Flame. Feel free to check it out if you want to read more about what went into creating this little game.

most of the game play is about waiting for arrows to show up. And the amount of wait time is determined by random chance of getting the face straight. Kudos for humor.

Played it for a while, but the abscence of feedback and not being able to tell if anything was progressing made me quit after 4 mins or so. Liked the music, tho!

@juno-menager The "face" gives feedback about whether you hit the arrow at the right time. Also, the music is my favorite part.

@gsoutz Yes, in true fishing game style, it's mostly waiting and watching.
