But all jokes aside, this is my favorite submission I have played so far. I really enjoy play cycles that allow the player to progress in rewarding ways like this game has.
I actually think this could be released as a full game if you added more features like different ways to upgrade your boat (maneuverability for example), fish bounties for bonus money, other obstacles, and of course music/sound. Great job!
The risk of sinking increasing with fish caught and the waves were cool and this could really make a good game. I know you were limited by the time constraint and the art is quite good.
Some ideas that may or may not have been brough up before:
More fishing spots
Different fish types woth different risk and value
More types of upgrades
Some background music
Nice work and keep on improving.=]
The functionality and mode of interaction in this game are great. It's really enjoyable to snipe a fishin hole, drift around waves, and keep them fish in focus. It has rigidity and gives a sense of mastery. Besides the core gameplay, the motives for catching the fish and continuing are a little stale. Mainly because there's not a whole lot to do.
