Good game, but the intro was too long, I'd like to skip the speaks at the beggining

Nice graphics. My only suggestion would be to stick to sans serif fonts. The small serif font is hard to see the small gameplay box.

Should have had less/skippable text!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll probably work on improving the game after finishing my midterm exams this week.

Ok... the guy got stuck in the boundary. And intro is too long, I think the game should have more songs. But Nice graphics ! :D

Cute game! Smart controls for fishing. The intro I saw was 3 speech bubbles, which didn't seem long... Good job!

Good effort! I'd love to be able to do something when catching a torpedo on my line - all I could do was bring it up, which blew me up, but perhaps I was missing something

There's a couple of places that could use some polish (the tiny font and making the intro skippable), but it didn't detract from the actual game. I really liked the graphics and animation, and they gave the game a nice cartoony style.

It might have been nice to be able to move the lure left and right, or at least have the guy run a little faster. Sometimes I would try and be smart and catch a fish that just appeared at the other side of the screen, but I was too slow to get there in time. Or maybe I just suck at it :)

I've update the font and make intro skippable. Hope you have fun!

Nice work, I thought the sub battle was pretty funny. I did get a little frustrated by the number of fish (not enough) and the number of missiles that hit the ice (too many). I thought the graphics were very neat though and this was a good entry.

really nice! i like the animations and art for the main character - his little jackhammer is great! the subs and screen shake were a very nice touch

I chuckled when I fished up a missile, and I didn't pay attention to the screenshot before playing so the subs were a surprise. I think the simplest improvement for the game would have been some background music. Gameplaywise, it would have been cool to see some traditional fishing mechanics like having the fish fight the line / line snapping. Overall good job, though!

This game is bananas, really good humor and mood. Maybe the fishing controls need more gameplay, maybe the fish can pull the string down with a little bit of force. Overall a fine entry.

Walked to the end of the Screen on the right side and couldn't move anywhere then except from drilling down. You should fix that :/

Wow, that's an embarrassingly stupid bug... Thanks for reporting it! I've fixed it.

Add nukes, megalodons, sexy mermaids, killer dolphins and cthulhu. I'd buy that for a dollar.
Seriously, I totally would.

When I dropped a line and caught a fish, I felt achievement. If you continue to develop this, when I saw the submarines, I felt confused.

My basic reaction to the game is "Haha, what?". I enjoyed it. ;) I especially liked the graphics, especially the guy walking. However, the gameplay was a little simplistic for my taste.

Cute game, I definitely liked the submarines firing missiles at me. It made no sense, which is why I liked it haha.

Love the drilling sound, animation and mechanic :) I kept trying to catch a rocket and have it explode on a submarine, but it never worked...

Nice graphics and simple, but captivating gameplay! Some ambient background music would've done wonders to this game.

I didn't expect those submarines under the water haha.

Nice game, it would be nice if it had music.

Haha I laughed when I first saw the submarines (I didn't look at your screenshots before playing :P). Good job, it was fun!
