Fishpile by mina

Welcome to Fishpile!
In this game you have to catch fish and try to stack them up on your boat. You have 3 days to catch as many fish as you can, with new fish appearing each day. Beware -- your fish can fall out of the boat if you're not careful!

This was our very first game jam, and the first game we ever released!

and the minafish is cute :fish: Good job!
Congratulations to you both for making this first game!
The change to the music and the background when the sun sets for the nighttime is also fabulously done.
Thanks for the great game! ^^
I think it could have been split up into more levels that take less time (beating one level takes a very long time)
Overall very nice :)
I had the 3rd on the line but then couldn't do it because 10:00 struck and it was my bed time 😭
The fishes and especially the squids were **very bouncy**! And they were still wriggling around after I caught them! made me feel bad like they were suffocating just laying there in the boat

Preety art, relaxing music, preety game, relaxing game. I like how the color of the ocean changes with time. Self-explanatory, tutorial not needed. I love how fish are different gameplay wise in many categories (price, depth, shape, catching difficulty). Like for example, squids are worth a lot and are not that deep, but they are hard to catch and jump around the boat like crazy.
One of the three sharks I caught ended up in the ocean again :cry: Wierdly enough it was the first one.
brb while I recover from the series of heart attacks I felt whenever a fish bounced out of my boat.
The shark is my favourite part ehe. lorelei did a great job on it c:
And yeah that's a great suggestion! I think we could've added a way to re-catch them or some kind of upgrade that makes them less bouncy ahah.
