Cute game and it works well. I wish Gilbert had a little bit more tricks because right now you can win with one precise shot.

Well done!

The wave effects were nice, and amazing how much work you must have put in for the individual graphics/dialog. Didn't end up finding Gilbert though :(.

The first time I caught a fish, it got stuck on the hook, and I decided that I had to catch one fish with another. It's a funny bug. Oh no, fish are caught with bugs!
