I really enjoyed the art and music, and the story was nice too. I found the gameplay itself very repetitive, but fishing/incremental games aren’t my cup of tea :) Like others, I didn’t realize that fishing was a mini-game until I came here and read some comments. Some sort of message like “Press A to catch fish!” would fix that up. Well done overall, this played nicely on my emulator handheld.

Love the idea of luck as a resource! Simple game, but effective.

Fantastic artwork in this! Nice story too. Good work!

This looks exactly like a gameboy game and I love a good fishing game I got ending A. Will have to try to go for the other endings.

Loved the art and overall aesthetic in this entry. Also a great interpretation of the theme! 

Wow, great idea, great execution, great fun… top!

I want to learn more about the uprising! Great short game. Was able to get my ring back on the third fish hour, so feel luck was in my favour! Curious to check out the other endings as well (I got ending A)!

definitely needed to be clearer that the fishing was a minigame. I only found that out after reading some of the other comments. gameboy aesthetic is spot on. nice work

Fun game, cute story! Liked the graphics and sound and it had a good GameBoy feel. The tutorial/intro could use a little more clarity, since it wasn't immediately clear when the shop and other things were open and how the game was meant to be played.

The first time we played it, we put the odds of fishing at 1% (to potentially hit it sooner). What we did not realize was that fishing was a minigame! I thought it was just a cutscene, and was sad to never hit it in the 96 tries. Then in town, we learned there was a shop and recycling... but we never got any trash. 

We then did a new run, actually catching and selling trash. We bought 3 clovers (extra luck) and figured it would be okay to give some away... and doing to completely removed the benefit of a clover and (seemingly) brought it back down to 10%. At the dock it's clear it still applies but the fish did not say so. It DOES seem to have removed the extra luck the mirror gave though, which combined made it pretty demotivating.

This game is awesome because it seems like a simple little game but the characters reveal a surprising depth and backstory as you talk to them. Wanting to learn more about the characters and the story that came before the game was enough to motivate me to keep playing, even though I found fishing (especially the multiple lines of text to click through every time) pretty tedious. The GB style pixel art and wonderful character art were great too! If you ever streamline the fishing experience I'll definitely play more and see other endings!

Absolutely love the graphics, the music and the overall mood of the game.

The gameplay was nice, though I would have liked some kind of mini-game while fishing, to keep things fresh.

Still, this was a very enjoyable game, well done!

It's an interesting take on the theme to let the player explore their options and decide how they'd like to use what little agency they have in their fate. 

I do think that it could use a little quality of life tweaks to help the gameplay feel less slow and drawn out: reducing the walk distance to the fish, reducing the number of times I need to press a button to get through text prompts, and/or putting the timing somewhere on the screen at all times so that you don't need to keep reminding the player whenever they do anything.

I also almost completely missed the entire shopping experience because I thought I would just need to stick it out on the dock or going back to the fish so a push for players to go into the shop and at least look in there would be helpful to make sure players realize their options.

Overall quite nostalgic and a nice entry!

Love the graphics and multiple endings! Really reminds me of the old Pokémon games. My only complaints are that I wish there were more sfx, specifically one to act as an audio cue for when you catch something, and that the fishing game gets a little repetitive after a while.
