Gone Fishin' by cdunham
Enjoy some nice, relaxing fishing in this small game. You never know what you'll end up catching.

How to play:
Up/W and Down/S to move the boat forwards and backwards
Left/A and Right/D to rotate the boat
Space to interact with fishing spots on the water
When fishing, press space while the tick is over green spots to catch items
Drag items into your inventory after catching them

Edit: We're working on an update to fix some things that were mentioned about the game(ex. adding a score system and win condition and QOL for the inventory part)

I also fished out all the trash, of course, and will dispose of it properly for a cleaner environment :smile:

Small improvement possibilities: The Sea Bass was only displayed to me once, the next times I fished it, the display was always empty and so I couldn't add anything to my inventory. Also, there is no end screen when the inventory is full? That would have been nice. But anyway, it was fun and chill to play it. :slight_smile:
Possible bug: the "sea bass" fish never appeared as a fish to drag into my inventory when I caught one. This happened every time I caught one.
Not sure if it's intentional, but I noticed that you can only get each block of green once per pass (although it's not punished if you do more so I assumed this was just to prevent spamming space.
Also! If you put something back into the water, it'll stay there and be available for pickup later on. (so we should clean out the water! ^_^)
Nice chill game, with some market and fishing gear progression it might just start shining. Nice job

But nonetheless, I know how to play this game and how to avoid trash :wink:
Whatever you leave in the water or put back in it doesn't disappear. If it gets filled you only get a message about catching a fish but no actual fish :smirk:
Well done!
A counter keeping track of how many of the fish you've caught like a progress or achievement bar would be something I would definitely add.
