About Nightmare Fishing Tournament

✦ AI summary

Nightmare Fishing Tournament is a roguelike fishing competition in the underworld where you battle horrific sea creatures with harpoons, knives, and a demonic porpoise companion to earn your way back to the living. Upgrade your gear, craft perks, and master brutal underwater combat across increasingly dangerous expeditions to claim the grand prize of resurrection.

Don't be fooled by the "fishing" part, this tip to the sea is to DIE for...

Arriving after death in the underworld, a rotting corpse participates in a HELLISH fishing tournament. The grand prize? A RETURN to the LAND OF THE LIVING! So get out there and FISH like your LIFE depends on it! But watch out, each swim with the fishes could be your LAST!Earn CREDITS from the SHOP REAPER to buy the netgun, the multi-ammo type speargun, floating sea mines and more. Carve the scales from your enemies in brutal knife combat and craft different PERKS! Enhance maximum lung capacity, or purchase a diving bell to extend aquatic expeditions and harvest the bounty of the seafloor! Swimming to slow? Boat handles like a shopping cart? The upgrades are all there for you to craft and get an EDGE on the competition!Best of all, CAPTURE and TAME the "Peril Porpoise" to use it to FIGHT FOR YOU! Training a killer mammal from HELL truly changes the game, opening up new ways of approaching undersea combat!

Bait the hook. Catch the fish. Win the tournament...or die AGAIN trying!

✦ AI summary

Players praise the fun gameplay and progression system, with the core loop feeling polished enough for a paid game. However, common complaints include quality-of-life issues like poor dismounting mechanics, limited progression flexibility, unbalanced tournament rewards, performance problems on some systems, and control scheme issues that make keyboard and mouse difficult to use.

Really fun gameplay and progression I would expect something like this out of a paid game!! Though I would suggest making it easier to dismount and return to your boat rather than ending up in the ocean :)

Relatively fun for the first 30 minutes - 2 hours depending on the player, definitely needs more aspects of quality of life (QOL). For QOL: - There should be a feature that allows you to go to previous rounds or maybe encounter fish from previous rounds by using their preferred bait (if this feature is already in the game then its either not specified or I just missed it). I say this because I didn't harvest the scales of the fish from round one so I couldn't upgrade my flesh human, so I ended up quitting. - Entering fish into the tournament needs to be more worth it, the reason I say this is because I find it quite annoying that I can sell a 600 pound fish for $600 but enter it into the tournament for $500. - Pearls should be easier to get, I tried swimming to the bottom of the ocean and I got lucky, because there was a pearl right below me, but then I realized that there was no chance I could go back to the surface. I know pearls are supposed to be hard to get since they allow the player to get one of the best upgrades in the game, but they should at least be obtainable, yet very hard to obtain early game. A little bug: - Whenever you incapacitate a fish without hooking it, …

Not sure why but my game is running at like 2 fps, I haven't had this problem with any other game on this laptop but I cannot seem to fix it :/. Plus when i put it on my monitor parts of the game appear off screen and inaccessible. Looks like it would be fun if i could actually play.
