Seas of Hydra

Going off of my first impression, do I recommend this game? Yes (sort of). The main thing you need to keep in mind when going into this review is that the entire thing was produced in little over half a year by high school students, which is commendable, especially since the final result is quite nice. GAMEPLAY: What you see is what you get. Press A to throw the hook, arrow keys to move the hook around, and B to go to the shop. From there, you can get several upgrades to help speed up the line, hook speed, lighting radius, and bucket size. Of course, the main goal of the game is to get food for the turtle and see how long you can feed it before it's game over. After each run, you can put your score onto a leaderboard so you can see how well you did compared to previous runs. While simple, the gameplay is still enjoyable, probably best played in short intervals when you want to kill some time. The gameplay loop is relaxing and you can get a bit more time out of game if you're trying to discover every fish in the encyclopedia. In addition to this, the leaderboard and encyclopedia help with the replayability of the game. VISUALS AND SOUND: The art is nice to look at, with some of th…

I 100% love how you reel up fish i have only been playing for 15 MIN ATM but reely wanted to relay this. its a super chill fishing game so far I'm still learning the ropes. the turtle's hunger has become my mortal enemy give this thing some ozempic or something JK it took me a while to learn how to feed the turtle I don't remember if it was in the help or if I just missed it. This would be a fun phone game

the game is pretty chill, and the music matches the vibes. It's impossible to get past day 9 though, and a couple achievements don't unlock even when you unlock them which is a bummer. (the two I for sure unlocked but nothing happened was catching a fish at 500m deep and the 100m sky fish one) Would be awesome if the developers were able to do an update for the game, but its fun overall

I've not played much so far, but I'm definitely enjoying it! All of the fish designs are very creative (even the silhouettes look SO cool), and I really enjoy the mechanics! It's a nice game to sit at my desk and relax with. I can already see myself racking up the hours trying to catch every type of fish...

I bought this because I want to support young indie game developers, so don't go in thinking it's going to be perfect. For what it is, I think it's fun and I like that it's really challenging. It's more of a game you challenge your friends to for high scores. To the Dev team: Love the game guys! Some quality of life improvements I would like to see: [olist] [*]A profile system - Allow players to enter a name on their first play, and upon playing in the future they can select it again. Upon losing it will auto enter the players name, so they can get back to the game asap :D [*]Night time music - I really enjoy the music, but even a good song can get old if listened too long. I think some night time music would be great, and it would make the transition from day to night more exciting. [/olist]
