Reviews for "Catfishing Cuties <3"

Nice little chill game! Not much for me to say, personally, as I'm not the intended audience (more of an action game guy), but nevertheless it was a charming game due to the interesting concept and very cool graphical design! While it does make a great first impression and it is fun to see what profiles you can get and laugh at the little jokes, it still felt rather shallow and lost its appeal quickly for me: could stand to have more interesting fishing mechanics or maybe some sort of story direction to go for to create more incentive to continue.

The art direction is outstanding, unfortunately I was unable to get into the gameplay hook (no pun intended). I couldn't notice if there were any unlocks, and progression did not seem clear to me; you're either curious about the weird fish sex descriptions or you just aren't.

The fish started repeating very early for me, and the fact you've made the design choice of spreading the rest of the possible catches across arbitrary time segments based on browser clock is not appealing whatsoever; the player is already giving you their attention by opening your game, this gimmick simply squanders it. I also did not notice much of a difference in using other types of bait.

If this were an idle game of sorts I would see an appeal, but taken you have to tap attentively and eventually mash, I personally have no idea who this is for. So yeah, all score on art, no gameplay here for me, sadly.

I really recently learned to love more slow paced games and this more than anything really gets the vibes of "just sit around and wait" something closely related to fishing and everything just helps more to drive across that message, the lovely pixel art with those calm and pastel pinkish colors, the music that sounds like a lullaby, how the water moves and having the mountains in the background with the sun shining brightly, if that image was abailable as a poster i would buy the biggest one and put it on my ceiling just to see it and hear some nice chill music.
now about the programing and the mechanics, i love how everthing really is like those old GameBoy games, its easy to understand and satisfactory when you catch a new match, i had fun with this, really good work

Huh, this was a different game than I'm used to.
It's nice, Moawling, I wonder if there's more you have made with pixel art like this.
