I can imagine somebody going all Starcraft on it and working out the most efficient &quot;catch order&quot; and then nobody ever inviting them to a party ever again.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>To make that last statement less offensive, nobody ever invites me to parties either.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Uh, the point is really good job!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>P.S.

I didn't feel like I was the fisherman, but rather a cosmic force assisting.  I don't think that's good or bad, just how it felt to me.  Little touches really add to the experience like the sun moving, and the fisherdude's expressions.  With the sun I almost feel like the timer isn't needed, just let the player know you can only fish until the sun sets"},{"author_name":"Beldarak","author_uid":"20772","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 2:17am","epoch":1367374320,"text":"I first thought it would be relaxing... I was so wrong... This game made me nervous as hell and i surprised myself talking to these fishes &quot;no no, don't ! noooo, you ruined it !&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Awesome game is awesome :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Just a tiny suggestion (but it's really a matter of taste), make the fish hanging to the hook count once the timer is done."},{"author_name":"sP0CkEr2","author_uid":"7135","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 2:22am","epoch":1367374620,"text":"very calming -- very original idea and follow the theme -- great job"},{"author_name":"spriters2000","author_uid":"16475","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 2:23am","epoch":1367374680,"text":"I didn't understand very well the controls.\r<br\/>I however liked it."},{"author_name":"multikorv","author_uid":"8028","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 10:58pm","epoch":1367448780,"text":"You succeeded with the calm aesthetic.

Stressful!  This is really weird, with the fishing in reverse pretty much... I didn't manage to catch a big fish, too many little ones in the way.  It's a pretty clever concept, probably needs a little more to it than just sliding 3 kinds of fish around, but I'm not sure what more, but there is definitely some interesting strategy to when you should move up to bigger fish (I think I went too soon, but the sun was setting!).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>P.S. there were weird artifacts all around the font!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>5170"},{"author_name":"someone","author_uid":"1207","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 10:33pm","epoch":1367533680,"text":"Interesting take on a fishing game.\r<br\/>The music works really well.\r<br\/>Good job."},{"author_name":"killerstarbunny","author_uid":"20898","time":"May 3, 2013 @ 1:39am","epoch":1367544840,"text":"Genius idea the music is nice and calm an the game is hysterical."},{"author_name":"gerritg","author_uid":"22527","time":"May 4, 2013 @ 3:50pm","epoch":1367682300,"text":"8150!
