I don't usually leave my comments. But with this game, I have to.
Octopus is my waifu material. But she seems harder to catch compared to the others.
Blobfish's lifeless face looks funny as heck! Why does she dislike pink, I wonder? It looks so good on her.
Orca and Octopus in the same lake? WOW, I can't believe it! Not that it really matters.
Long story short: Fish turned anime girls? This game is short, but so cute. The artwork, the graphics, the music, everything is perfect. The cuteness overload kills me every time. Still, I wish it was longer (and featured more fish, or more endings).
The only thing I don't like is the bla bla bla voices of all characters.
You had me at "fishing minigame" but then put a hilarious and charming visual novel on top of it. Wholesome and a joy to play. Streamed my first playthrough for a bunch of my friends and we had a blast failing to take home any fish. Really looking forward to finding more endings. 5/5, thank you so much for making this.
yes there is! if you replay, it'll show her opinions on your given responses (positive=hearts, negative=dash) so you just have to pick the right answers and she'll come home with you!! its super cute btw
I've literally picked all the options; correct ones are; apologise for staring, say that this environment is not meant for her, and Apologise on behalf of the humans...
I loved the diverse, beautifully designed cast of fish-turned-humans, and the many ways you could know more about them. I also loved the six diverse endings of each fish, and how happy the epilogues are for each of them! The fishing takes a bit to get used to, but it's definitely a learning curve. My favorite was definitely octopus - so smart, yet so outgoing! There's even lore as to how the salmon might be our wife...? I also enjoy how you can see which options are favorable and which options aren't after you choose them, so that's an added bonus,
Such a wholesome game, I would most certainly recommend this to anyone wanting to give his a spin!
TL;DR - A fantastic, flawless game with quirky characters and a fun twist on the Visual Novel trope.
for people who are stuck on orca and boot, the last option on the orca is the self worth not the one with the heart and for boot , for the first panel that opens click the -- instead of the heart and continue with heart for the last 2 panels to get boot ending
finished the game, and i love it! All of the endings were special for each character and it was fun to talk to each fish and see their characteristics, which is what makes this game different from all of the others.
it also looks like the heart symbol and "--" symbol is switched for the third and last option for orca. In order to get her ending you gotta select the self worth option.
love the game!! only issue is that i'm struggling to get the orca and boot endings- i've tried a bunch of combinations (including all heart answers) and none seem to work-
Just finished playing this game, and I absolutely adore the characters (especially my fictional wife and children). Also, I got all of the endings; each one was really heartwarming and unique! First of all, I just want to say, I really appreciate the fact this game isn't a dating sim, like thank god, we have a MC who is just loyal to their one goal in life (apparently, feeding their family, understandable). Second, we have loveable characters with actual (unique) personalities. They're not just some cute pixels on the screen, y'know. Third, I like to think that our MC received all of the secret endings, and in the end, all of the girls came to throw a secret party at their house along with the family. (How did the girls meet each other, you ask? I absolutely have no idea.) Now, I'm somewhat inspired to write a cute fanfiction for this cute little game! Thank you so much.
Edit: Everyone in this comment section was like, "Boot is best girl!" But I respectfully disagree, our Salmon Wife is clearly the best girl here. Canon lore, and our dedication for our wife, are just (chef's kiss) exquisite. True love trumps all.
That would be such a precious extra ending <3 Thanks for the ideas!!! Maybe we'll add something like that for when we do a steam release? It'd be super cute ~!!!
I'm so glad you know who the true best girl is LOL
This was very cute, I really liked octopus' ending and also the fact it wasn't just a dating sim. I mean, I would have liked it anyways but this was more cool hehe
If you press A to fish multiple times the music restarts and one time I finished the normal ending of the game and the lovey-dovey heart background was still there when I loaded my earlier orca file, no idea why.
VERY CUTE GAME!! I love all the designs and the writing was great! The twist at the end was so funny HAHA.
Just real quick, I noticed there was a bug with Boot Girl's dialogue where the game stops progressing dialogue/doesn't let you save after the selection of "Make small talk about the nuclear properties of this lake." and the last line it let me go to was "I'm not a fan of it, since it's probably really bad for the lake."
Otherwise everything went without a hitch for the most part! :D THANK YOU AGAIN, VERY CUTE GAME!!
This is such an adorable game! All the characters are so cute. Boot best girl ^^
P.S. Not sure if it's a bug, but Anglerfish, Octopus and Jellyfish have unique music themes, while Orca, Boot, Blobfish and Salmon share the same music. Also, in the first choice menu for Boot and in the third choice menu for Orca the "-" and "♡" icons seem to be switched.
Hey there! Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
As for the music themes, I didn't have time in the game jam to give everyone a custom theme TT, so those ones got double ups. Once I release the game on steam I hope they can all have a unique song!!
Also thanks for the heads up about boots choices! I'll fix that in the next update!!
Aw I really wanna play this game but the Jellyfish conversation isn't working for me. When the protagonist says "Not some jellyfish." it won't let me click forward and continue the dialogue.

Very cute game. A valliant and helpful fisherman, many surprisingly cute fish!
thanks so much :) glad you enjoyed
you know who else is a orca

is there an orca ending
yes there is! if you replay, it'll show her opinions on your given responses (positive=hearts, negative=dash) so you just have to pick the right answers and she'll come home with you!! its super cute btw
I've literally picked all the options; correct ones are; apologise for staring, say that this environment is not meant for her, and Apologise on behalf of the humans...
Still no ending... WHAT DO I DO?!?!
youre not supposed to apologize, even though its a neg response, youre supposed to remind her that her value shouldnt be tied to her circumstance/size
I wish someone would talk to me the way Octopus talks to the MC… Also can I call her Yaki?
thats a cute name! go ahead xD
Glad you like it
This game was a delight to play!

BOOT SOLVED JHONNYS MURDER
sorry i havent been able to reply to everyone! thanks so much for enjoying the game, it means so much to us!! <3 <3 <3
(have a cute pixel art ocotopus by AlienMilkSoup!)
this game is so cute 😭
for people who are stuck on orca and boot, the last option on the orca is the self worth not the one with the heart and for boot , for the first panel that opens click the -- instead of the heart and continue with heart for the last 2 panels to get boot ending
This game is adorable!! The characters are all so gorgeous too. I definitely
recommend!THE WIFE IS THE SALMON
so like- did we marry that salmon or something???????
i couldn't get all endings for some reason even though I chose all the hearts I am struggling to get the boot and orca endings.
You get boot and orca on your second time playing after octopus, just make sure to throw the blobfish back into the lake!
thanks I will try to do that
okay im stuck at the beginning. i cant fish up the fish, help/tips?
when chasing after the fish, move slowly, but make sure the pink box is still touching the fish, and spam the a key
ty
SIX secret endings?
Actually, now that I think about it, i guess the one main ending is how it would actually go...
Just like all the others of yours that Ive played I enjoyed it :)I look forward to more as always.
finished the game, and i love it! All of the endings were special for each character and it was fun to talk to each fish and see their characteristics, which is what makes this game different from all of the others.

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed!
also thanks so much for finding it!! I'll be fixing it in the next update x3
so... the salmon... is cooking other...
never mind
This was very silly and very good. Thank you for this game.
the mc loves fish a little TOO much
fish is love, fish is life!!!!
love the game!! only issue is that i'm struggling to get the orca and boot endings- i've tried a bunch of combinations (including all heart answers) and none seem to work-

I'm so glad you know who the true best girl is LOL
Thanks for playing~! <3
I accidentally had a chroma key filter on while recording, and didnt notice until the end :( the game was great though!! Boot is best girl, hands down
Edit: For some reason I couldn't get Orca's ending. I don't know why, as I had all the heart options selected.
So glad you enjoyed it ;w;!! Thanks so much for playing <3 !!! I'll definitely check up on Orca for next update!!!!
The ending cracked me up XD
Ahh yes, cannibalism :)
Also, why does the protage say that fish can talk when his family's literally-
Err, nevermind.
Fish suggestions: Flounder, starfish, turtle, eel, narwhal, and lionfish.
ooohh! Good suggestions!! :D
LOL Glad you enjoyed it xD
This was very cute, I really liked octopus' ending and also the fact it wasn't just a dating sim. I mean, I would have liked it anyways but this was more cool hehe

Oh my, that must be because of funky save and load stuff, I'll take a look and see if I can replicate it and fix it! :DD
VERY CUTE GAME!! I love all the designs and the writing was great! The twist at the end was so funny HAHA.

Hey there! Aww, thank you so much for playing our game and for your sweet message ><!!!!!
Sorry about the bug! Its on my radar to fix and I'll have it done for the next update ^^ Good find ~!
Thanks again for playing and for your kind words!!!
This is such an adorable game! All the characters are so cute.
Boot best girl ^^

Thank you for making such a lovely game! I'll be waiting for the new updates ^^
Aw I really wanna play this game but the Jellyfish conversation isn't working for me. When the protagonist says "Not some jellyfish." it won't let me click forward and continue the dialogue.
OMG thank you so much! Turns out there was a code error I missed there, I will be re-uploading the files right now! Sorry for the inconvenience ;-;
Thank you for the quick fix! I'm excited to play :)
No worries! Let me know if you find any other problems, I'll do my best to fix them as soon as possible!
It could be on my end, but I see now download option despite the save game disclaimer saying to use a downloaded copy to avoid save data loss
Sorry, could you explain what you mean? ;w;
There's a downloadable copy of the game, and a browser version. The downloadable copy shouldn't lose data between updates!
EDIT: Oh I see! My mistake, I forgot to upload the downloadable version! Thank you for pointing it out!
