PeachTree hope you're doing okay, played this game for the first time I think back in 2020. It's now 2024 and i'm about to graduate sadly my fish caught don't track anymore or I'd take back my title as the shrimp and minnow king. Hope you're doing alright and hopefully one day this game will get a full release.
Haha yea it sure has been a number of years hasn't it? Unfortunately life got rocky so I couldn't stay on track with this one. This game is still special to me and ofc I still check in on comments every now and then. Graduation is a lot of change! Hope you enjoy the journey.

a super cool game with tons of potential!!! i really like these kind of chill games! what gave you the idea of making the shrimp evil i might add
There isn't a full version of this as I'm caught up with other projects right now. But this game has a special place in my heart being my first big game, so I will definitely revisit it in the future.

Here is some tips the first fish you can go idle and let the boat fish on its own and only need to check from time to time to sell the cargo.
You can do the same with Swordfish in the end once you have the skill that recover 1 hp each time you fish and have enough defense.

Man how I miss the days of being a high schooler playing a flash game, miss the days when there would be chat rooms full of people playing, Glad to see the game still saved the stupid amount of minnows I caught. Hope Peachtree is doing ok

I liked the game too bad it was so short also i was hoping for some secret passage for a hidden boss like an octopus or something

Very fun. In addidtion to the things you mentioned, A story with a wive that wants more and more money for her house/mansion/castle/palace... and a big fish that can help you would be cool. Like in the grimmstory "the fisherman and his wife"
Range is a rather powerful stat in this style of game so I agree but tried to keep it under control. As a result the only +range there is is tucked in the collection system if you didn't already discover that.

I loved this game, so excited for an update, I completed a bit quickly. Keep up the good work. These are some of the quick games that keep me going.
Thanks and I'm glad people are still playing to this day :) My output is slower than I'd like but my goal is to be able to field a team so I can pump out content way faster.
I hear you and that's one of the reasons I went down this path in the first place. I think there are a TON of ways to continue this design path. But alas, I am taking my time relearning some design fundamentals so it'll be a bit. When I'm ready, you'll see a lot more output!
I'm currently focused on other projects still. I'm not sure when/where a followup to this game will be released, but it certainly won't be Kong unless they bring back new game uploads.

Hey peachtree i don't know if you remember me but i'm the guy who vowed to be the number one shrimp farmer, and yes it may have been a year or more since i've played but i am restarting withe zero and i will work my way up to be the number one shrimp and minnow farmer once again. ( Just wanted to express again the joy this game gives me even after a year)

This game is AMAZING. The different upgrades and collections that buff your stats (very unique concept, BTW) Auto move, (which i never used), the lack of an annoying minigame, and satisfying graphics with good difficulty curve. I rate this a 6/5
Hell of a review, thanks a lot! I was always disappointed in games where the achievements gave little to no reward so I wanted to try something where the achievement buffs were gamechangers that shifted what you could do.

I got all the collections maxed, got all the upgrades, basically beat the game, And I just now found out about auto move...

i really would pay money for a full version of this instead of a demo like a,e its amazing concepts and great controls you got the basics down just need to add more to it

1 / 1 game ( no one can rate it bad cause 1 / 1 is 10 / 10 ) this game is epic one problem it's to easy you should make the swordfish dash cool down shorter and make some fish cheaper cause it is way to easy
Thanks and I agree. This was a prototype to even see if people were interested in a fishing RPG like this. Now that I saw it has potential, I'd love to add to it one day. It would certainly have a lot more fishes to catch, some with dangerous attacks to avoid.

This totally needs more fish, like a hammerhead shark or something like a grouper or a crab or whatever. This shows real promise, just hope you update this ASAP.
Totally. When I started this project I didn't think much about the enemy possibilities, but as I was making it I realized the game design practically wrote itself because it was such an unexplored game theme. Glad to hear it and I really do hope to revisit this one day.

It's a little known fact that shrimp are the main cause of boat damage and injury to fisherman. Thank you for bringing this fact to the light, that shrimp are not as weak and small as they seem.

good idea, but short, try to use this base for add some tipe of fight, like pirates that whant steal your fish and you must fight with some weapon (upgrade etc)
Glad you like it, this prototype got a lot more traction than I had expected. I'd love to do a full version one that that has all sorts of mechanics like the one you described!
Totally agree - I wanted to limit the time I spent on this prototype but a full version would have an actual completion to it. You better believe there'd be a lot of achievements given how the collection system is done :)

So, I got fish that are faster than my boat and can swim through the obsticles, and fish that rip my boat to shreds in a few moments...
It's a dangerous world of fishing out there! The game is heavily upgrade based, so if something is too difficult, it most likely needs some upgrades before you can tackle it properly :)

man this is so good especially for just a prototype i hope this becomes a full game sometime in the near future. keep up the good work o(￣▽￣)ｄ
