I am finding myself partial to a bit of master baiting.

Sound is very nice. Game is pretty fun too! Name is brilliant, you should consider going for humor just for the title. Got an error though:

Sorry about the error. It happens if you try to Reel in your hook before the fish bites. If you just leave the hook sitting in the water until a fish bites. An icon of left or right mouse button will appear, try to repeat the pattern tr reel in the fish.

Very soothing soundtrack and interesting gameplay choice. To me the throwing animation took a tad too long and I didn't catch much fish because I never knew what I did wrong...

Prejudging by the name, this was surprisingly soothing. Casting lines out to the relaxing piano score is wonderfully pleasant. And, best of all, I can finally have my revenge against those damn Cheep-cheeps. Aaaah. Feel the relaxation wash over you.

That was quite relaxing. Except I hoped I could button-mash my wait to victory like usual in these games, but oh well :P

Humor +1 for title.

The audio fits perfectly. The game isn't that bad, but it gives me the sensation that it lacks something important that would make it awesome. I think it's a bit of challenge, overall.

I like the fact that it uses cheep-cheeps. It's sorta simple but pretty charming.
