LudumData

Plenty of Fish by PaterJosch

[raw]
made by PaterJosch for LD 41 (COMPO)

My Entry for Ludum Dare 41

the Theme was combining 2 different game genres or smth, so I made a Fishing/Dating Simulator

The Goal is to fill the Love Meter to the left in order to marry your chosen waifu.

This can be done by pressing space to charging and throwing your fishing rod, as well as reeling it back in (with or without catch), and, once an item has been fished, deciding what to do with it with arrow keys, wasd and space bar.

You have to Fish for a pretty Girl first tho.

There are plenty of things im not that happy with, first off the music and soundeffects, as well as the graphics, secondly that the game crashes when you want to close it/it is over and wants to close by itself.

That shouldnt be a big deal however, since its supposed to close anyway.

Hopefully you have fun with it.

My mermaid girlfriend didn't like nuclear weapons. Nice and simple game, like you suggested, the music can get a bit jarring after a while.

I love the graphics a lot on this one! I liked also the sound, it's not that bad.

I liked this game :) Funny, simple and fitting for the theme and honestly the first (and probably only) dating sim entry I found enjoyable, well done !

I am so confused. Also in love. But mostly confused.

Would have like to see some more fishing mechanics, reeling in etc.

This game in a nutshell:

* Catch 5-6 objects whilst fishing for a wife.
* Catch wife; (s)he's an Agent, apparently.
* Catch 6-7 more fishpeople.
* Catch two nukes that apparently result in a drastic "love meter" reduction no matter the option.
* Catch 6-7 more fishpeople. Again.
* Catch three diamonds in a row.
* Catch an old boot, prompting my wife to marry me.

Woah.

Really amazing game, had a lot of fun. The only things i can think to improve the game would be the soundtrack, the sound effects where great but the soundtrack got a little repetitive. and i would of liked the game to be abit longer (i was having fun playing it)

Onto what i liked about the game: I really loved the graphics so simple and nice and set a lovely mood for the game, the different things you could catch was interesting and kept me playing for a while longer than i probably should of lol. And i liked the use of the theme fishing and dating sim pretty unusual and cool combination.

I have come to the conclusion that wooing mermaids with things I get from the sea is not my strong suit!

Love the art style, looks simple, but moody and yet detailed.

The easy controls makes it easy to keep going.

that's a nice integration of the theme. Unexpected to fish a mermaid, but it was fun :)
