Nerdwell Lake

🐟 Welcome to Nerdwell Lake! 🐟 You've found a strange book that seems to be indicating eight species of fish inhabiting the lake - but all other records point to only seven. Your curiosity peaked, you pick up your fishing rod and head out to the waters... 

🖱 Controls: 🖱 The controls are very simple - click on the water to begin fishing, and when you hear a bite, click again to begin reeling! From there, you'll need to click on a series of buttons with the correct timing in order to land the catch. Once you've landed a fish, press the spacebar to open up your journal and see what you've caught!

⚠️A quick disclaimer ⚠️- this 'game' isn't much of a game - it's really a mechanical prototype for a much larger and more in depth fishing game project I've now started working on. There isn't any progression or goal to this prototype, but the Fishing Jam finally gave me the motivation to work out and test a lot of the potential systems I'm considering for the full game. This is probably the first game jam where I forced myself to stop working early and avoid getting in over my head with too much complexity in the time limit.

I acknowledge that it's pretty shallow (pun unintended) at the moment, but hopefully is a good bit of short fun - and this should help pave the way for some fun things in the full game to come!
