I like how you can use the mouse gestures to cast and reel. Are the fish randomly selected? Because by throwing at (roughly) the same place, I managed to caught very different fishes.

Its simple, it works and its fairly charming. And its also one of those ideas that you could easily expand upon to make it a lot of fun, like advanced weel reeling and harder to catch prey. Good job ^^"},{"author_name":"Lynx","author_uid":"44477","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 3:54am","epoch":1418010540,"text":"I like the comment above^ \r<br\/>I captures the feeling of fishing perfectly and if you added upgrades and goals that would make for a fun little game, good job.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My only suggestion is add some sound FX or light music"},{"author_name":"BKGH","author_uid":"9732","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:47am","epoch":1418013720,"text":"Interesting concept and interesting application."},{"author_name":"scriptorum","author_uid":"17811","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:49am","epoch":1418013840,"text":"Thems be some big fish!

You could see waves or bubbles in a part of the pond, and if you hit that part, you would get good fish, otherwise, bad small fish.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You could have made the player catch junk sometimes, like the canonical old boot, for humor.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You could have added some sort of challenge, like &quot;catch X kg of fish before the day ends&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A technical improvement: in the future, add &quot;.preventDefault()&quot; in your mouse event handling functions, so that the page won't scroll down, that is specially annoying in the embedded version."},{"author_name":"Harley77","author_uid":"43987","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 10:21pm","epoch":1418422560,"text":"Well done"},{"author_name":"Backterria","author_uid":"46642","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 12:56am","epoch":1418431860,"text":"It's fun!like the scrolling!"},{"author_name":"JJEvil","author_uid":"46521","time":"Dec 14, 2014 @ 3:01pm","epoch":1418568960,"text":"This one is hilarious.

With scrolling being an integral part of the game, it might be best to leave it only with the web option so as not to scroll down on this screen after catching a fish.

Animation is good, and graphics are correct. But... Well, I'm not a big fisher, but normally you don't get a fish at each launch, and even if you catch it, you are not sure to get it on your fryer tonight. What I mean is that a little more challenge would turn this funny game in something you would play enought to get that big fish you've seen, and who escaped each previous times... ;)\r<br\/>That said, it's fine, I just mean that more challenge would be a little better. ;)"},{"author_name":"asobitech","author_uid":"11959","time":"Dec 16, 2014 @ 9:58am","epoch":1418723580,"text":"Hahahaha, Fishing fun.
