Finished "Shufflefish", my Deckbuilder + Fishing sim.

Visit the Shufflefish Entry Page to try the game! Play in your browser (some minor glitches) or download the Mac build (windows coming soon).

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to implement the deck-editing part so the deckbuilder aspect of it isn't very great, especially because the default deck is pretty weak since I wanted to include all the cards. You can actually make some pretty good combos such as dumping a ton of minnows, then dynamiting them (minnows are 1 but dead fish are worth 2), and then using Scoop Net to get them all at once. 😈Deckbuilding is pretty fun, but right now you have to do it in the code hehehe.

I also made some last minute balance changes that in retrospect were not good, they make the core mechanic of reeling the fish in a lot more cumbersome. Oh well. It's still more than possible to get "Master Angler" level.

Anyways, this was a ton of fun and also really helped me move my basecode forward. I also super enjoyed doing the graphics this time, I tried a "gradient texture" technique that I have been wanted to try for a while and it turned out really good I think, especially given the severe time restraint.

Check out the game and let me know what you think!

Another LDJAM in the can. Can't wait for the next one.
