Hey! You guys had a similar idea we did! Ours was ice fishing and a bit different though. I was very impressed with the athletics of the fishing, did you guys make and animate the fish? Either way looks very nice. I can certainly appreciate the bobber throw trajectory mechanic! It's too bad you guys ran out of time for a shop, as having some form of progression would have made this game feel a lot more complete, but scope creep is so real hah.
Great job on the submission, I had a great experience!

I felt as in Harvest moon back to nature! Very comfy game, I stayed in the game longer just to enjoy the scenery.
The visuals and gameplay are both good, and I really love the cat’s sleeping animation it’s very good.
However, the overall atmosphere feels a bit empty to me. The background audio being mostly wind noise, combined with the lack of a clear gameplay objective, made me feel somewhat directionless.
I’m not sure if this was an intentional design choice, but personally it didn’t quite work for me.
I think adding a clearer goal or an ending condition could help give me more motivation to go fishing and stay engaged.
Bed animation was so cute loved the ui design and visuals. Don't know what to do with the money though but it was fun.^^
Peak. What an amazing vibe! You've nailed the animal crossing aesthetic but it has it's own vibe at the same too! The visuals are super nice, transitions too, the main menu and sleeping animation are so good! Fishing is nice and chill too, with a pretty good fishing minigame, it is easy to sort of cheat by mashing A and D but it's still fairly cool, if you wanted to make a full game you'd have to add some additions to the minigame so it's not as easy to cheat. All the inventory descriptions were cool and charming as well, I caught all the fish but couldn't find all insects, in fact I think the insects might of been bugged, as eventually they just stopped spawning or maybe I got really unlucky and managed to miss them spawning for like 5-10 minutes straight searching for them. The polish of everything is very nice, the animations and menus are all very well done. Such a nice time, excellent work!
Such wonderful atmosphere with super charming characters! Absolutely loved the animations/transitions — going from the main menu to the game was buttery smooth and seamless, and entering the cabin to go to bed was soooo cute! I was able to catch every fish in the game (and I sold them all for a pretty penny, that and the insects!). Totally, totally love it. Especially the cute wunkuses. :3
LOVE!!! cute cute, and the visuals are so nice! would have liked some music to listen to while fishing, but other than that LOVELYYYYY
