VERY COOL, VERY VIBEY. This is super well done & well polished and collecting the tapes scratches my brain in the right way. Definitely gonna try and make time later to collect more of them! Amazing job!!!

WOW, the atmosphere in this game is so high. But I encountered a bug where my cursor wouldn't display correctly, and I had to press Windows on my keyboard to press any button. How did you make such a cool game in three days?

Superbe atmosphère ! J'ai eu des crash lors de plusieurs interactions donc je ne pourrais pas aller récupérer la collection complète, mais j'aurais adoré :D

This game looks absolutely gorgeous... unfortunately I couldn't get the game to "start fishing." The mouse didn't seem to work at all, and though I could select channels with 1,2,3,4, pressing the spacebar would just cause the reel to jiggle a bit. I wasn't able to make progress.

@itisthelaw Glad you enjoyed the visuals! And I'm sorry for the bug! Did you manage to use the mouse for some things (like clicking the channels) or was it totally blocked? We are looking into this to try and fix it

What an entry! It's a shame it's not playable in browser because a lot of people would love it. The mood is insanely well done, everything is well polished, like, even the weather buttons have a great feeling. I wish I could grab the radio handle and turn it quicker and quicker by moving my mouse in circle, to give it an actual fishing feeling, but that's pretty much my only complaint, overall the entry is impressive and I truly enjoyed discovering it.

Also I discovered Teagher Studio which I'm happy about, as a French fellow! Félicitations :)

You absolutely nailed the atmosphere. The art and sound are perfect together and feel very natural. The core mechanic is so unique and unusual, but it works perfectly

@raivk Seemed like maybe the mouse worked for focusing the view at the start (though maybe that's also something that just happens as part of that moving forward cutscene--I couldn't tell for sure). It definitely was not working for the channels. Let me know if you make fixes and I will try again!

@itisthelaw It should be fixed! It was a bug some users with non 1080p 16/9 screens were encountering. It's probably the same bug as you. V1.0.1 should be good!

The vibes are immaculate, and it really makes you appreciate the musics of the other games

It's crazy how well made your game is. The feedback on everything is amazing, even the small things like cranking the handle, not even mentioning getting a new tape. The audio and visuals are gorgeous, kinda reminds me of the witness which I love. With the wide array of great music it all makes for a very chill experience. Keep up the great work!

To be honest, this is one of the most unique and memorable games on LD.

The interplay of sound, visuals, and mechanics creates a truly relaxing and almost meditative gameplay experience.

What struck me the most was how well thought out everything was. The game doesn't try to do too much — instead, it focuses on a clear basic idea and implements it really well.

It's very thoughtful for a jam game. It seems like it can easily be turned into a full-fledged game.

Super polished and ridiculously vibey. The whole radio-fishing idea feels fresh, collecting tapes is oddly satisfying, and the audio/visual mood carries the whole thing. Honestly feels less like a jam game and more like a small finished indie prototype.

This is a genius idea and a brilliant take on the theme! Someone invented vibe-coding, but you invented 'VIBE-FISHING'. I was absolutely floored by the special effects when I caught the first cassette. It’s so well-done!

Wow, this game is really polished. The graphics and sound are top-notch. I love your color palette, and even your itch.io page is beautifully designed!

Could you maybe tell me which font you used on your itch page? I really like the whole presentation!

Nice chill fishing game. Played it through, getting the fireworks :)

I listened all songs for a while, always throwing the rod first and then changing tape. Effects and weather were a fun touch. It was a cool idea to put all your jam songs into a one game.

Wish there was more to the gameplay, but like everyone else I adore the visuals. The way you move from station to station was neat, very impressive presentation

This game is super polished and a very interesting concept. I found it a bit finicky sometimes to tune the rod in as the dial would keep moving over the perfect position but loved all the music it was so chill.

It's a cozy game, and I'd like to collect all tapes because the music is also great. I had a good and smooth experience. It would be more convenient if I could switch straight from the table to fishing. The camera's waving makes it a little hard to click since I use a touchpad. And it makes my laptop hot and consumes a lot of power.
