Reviews for "Fishy Waters"

Awesome!

Good:
-Cute graphics
-Separate mute options for music and sound effects
-Music and sound effects are good
-Gameplay is simple, intuitive and fun.
-Generally pretty addictive! I played basically nonstop until I caught the Kraken.
-Autosaves frequently.

Needs Improvement:
-I noticed some lag the more fish there were - this may be partially on my end, so no points removed for it, but it may be something to check into if other people have had this issue.
-Too short/no satisfying ending. I really wish there were more upgrades - as is, once you've rescued the dad, there's not a lot more to do - you don't even get to take the Kraken home and mount it as a trophy or anything, and it feels like it ends a bit too quickly.
-The arrows indicating which key to press when catching some fish could be kind of hard to see. This was especially a problem when catching the Kraken. I'd make them stand out a bit more.
-While not a high priority, some medals for some of the trickier things would be fun - catching a boatload entirely of whales, etc.

Fun game. 15-20mins and I was done. The last fish was hard to catch not cause he was hard, but because his/her shadow was overlapping the Press arrow key.

I can't seem to get any fish biting and so can't get past the first toll. It seems it's just me though, so maybe I just don't get it. Loved the music though ^^

I found this game to be really fun, the music was pleasant and it even changes through the different areas, the visuals were sweet and nice to look at and the gameplay was enjoyable. One small problem, After I got into the deep sea are (with the whales and such) the game started to lag when I moved about (or should I say "aboat" ha ha.....ha.) which made it a bit annoying to drag my self through the water even after I left the deep sea are, it's a small technical error however, everything else, as I've said, was nice.

Also, maybe add something new into the boss fight, it feels a bit anti-climatic. I've seen that you updated the game to make the boss "tougher" but I think to improve the boss you should add something slightly different, like multiple pieces or something. So it's a 4/5 because the end needs work!

So cute! Fairly simple, but still quite fun! I'd love to see this expanded in a sequel. diagonal movement would have been good. Maybe a multiplayer version where you race your friend to get the most fish or something!
