looks simple at first but surprisingly has many interesting things to do and quests! still very early and a bit buggy, but with more patches and updates this game has potential to be very fun!2 found this helpful
This game was recommended to me because I've been playing a lot of chill kind of games. This game is pretty fun, the combat is interesting.. but I really like the fishing mechanic because I'm so over the bar of getting the fish. There's a couple of weird bugs but nothing that's annoying enough that I'd stop playing. Try it out!2 found this helpful
I have been playing for a while now, and I'm truly surprised by this one! Even though it's still in Early Access (so the game may have some bugs), it already has such great potential! Unique Fishing Mechanics - I've played a couple of games with fishing mini-games, but I've never seen anything quite like this. It's original, incredibly charming, and very intuitive. Plus, the fish designs are so original and wonderfully silly! I love them all! The game is not only about exploring the water and fishing around! You can also explore the land. The game features sword combat with a great Zelda-like vibe. It's simple but very satisfying for a Hyrule fan. (And oh boy, do I adore spamming that dodge animation with sound!) The visuals are pretty charming! The art style is simple, yet absolutely beautiful. The stylized, low-poly aesthetic fits the cozy atmosphere perfectly!1 found this helpful
It's a truly relaxing experience, where the world is charming and a joy to slowly wander through. The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful and lets you forget about the outside world's worries. Also there seems to be a lot of content as for early access, can't wait for the full release1 found this helpful
I loved the title since the first sight! And I'm having great fun with my kids with it! Great job! I'm waiting for full release!1 found this helpful
I love the fishing mechanic! game is super cute easy to learn super chill to fish around in didn't spend much time fighting yet but when there is fishing, hard to pull me away from it game is totally work the money excited about the roadmap mostly bug free, only had to save & quit once then reload the save. super quick, took seconds game seems to be supported more on mouse & keyboard. has controller support but sometimes it doesn't recognize buttons. those bugs probably won't last long
