Strung Out by valid4life
I certainly did the best i could in the small amount of time i had. This game was made in about an hour and a half right after i got home from school!
Arrow Keys are used to move to the left and right
X is too drop your line officially
Using the up and down arrow keys allows you to move the fishing line up and down.
There is no winning, but simply try and get the highest score possible in the one minute provided!
The Post-Jam version of the game includes some small music and non fullscreen invasion!
The Jam version is fullscreen by default while the post-jam is not! Gameplay wise, they are both completely equal!

I know this certainly is NOT the best, but i made it for the fun of Ludum Dare!

There will always be one that got away. Always.
In all seriousness, not bad for working within the time constraints. Hopefully next time you will use more time and make a more feature-filled game! It seems like you understand the basics of what kind of mechanics work well in games, now you just need to find the motivation to dedicate more time :) No excuses!
Oh, and one small nit-picky criticism. Not a huge deal, but you might want to re-think automatically going full-screen in the future. Some people (like me) don't like it when games do that without asking first. It messes all my windows up and such.
Most of the fish can't be caught and some are even generated out of the water :)
It would be nice if the fishing line would go down in a continuous fashion and would be able to reach the bottom. It is quite frustrating to not be able to catch all the fish (even though I guess it's like that in real life, too).
