FAQ

Q: "Extreme Fishing"? What is this?
A: It's a game I created with Harievilozanini at the Mini Ludum Dare #24 competition. Theme was "Fishing", with "two action buttons" and "audio is our own voice" as limitations. In 48 hours, a lot of sweat, blood and bacon were required to create this freak!

Q: Wha...?! The game is too hard!!
A: No shit, matey! This is extreme fishing, and only the most hardcore fishermen will survive!

Q: Okay but... it's really, really hard! I can't get past ___!
A: Grr... Get out of the sea, ya hear?! It's no place for pussies!

Q: How do I use combos?
A: Hold Z button and press (or hold) X to activate combos. Keep pressing (or holding) the X button to add Combo pieces. One button press (represented as an "X") requires one Combo Meter, and one button hold (represented as an "--") requires two Combo Meters! Try different combo patterns!

Q: Those blue fishes are annoying? How do I deal with them?
A: Kill those Gentlefishes FAST! When they get too close they are a pain in the ass! Keep shooting harpoons at them and ignore other fishes until they're dead meat!

Q: I keep throwing harpoons at the first boss but nothing happens! What am I doing wrong?
A: Are you stupid?! Attacking his shield won't do anything - aim at his eyes! That big boy's strong, though, so spam your combos to take the advantage!

Q: Dude, are those highscores even possible to reach?
A: Of course, crap-pants! The game goes on forever, so stay safe and get as much meat as you can!

Q: When will the next version be released?
A: It'll be released next month!

ahahah man i love this, simple and easy, and it does the job
i especially like the background music and thememusic shit.
i mean, it doesnt sound good, but it's funny and adds a lot to the atmosphere

it even has some kind of scoring system online?
what did you use to make this?
could you not implement this in a browser?

we need more games like this!

btw my highscore so far is 4.00 kg, im going to try to get a topscore.
 
The game is definitely really cute. The title music made me laugh and the background music is again really cute.

Oh man the scoring system online is a really cool idea.

I really like the fact that you used GM you dont see a lot of that around here.
Also its super simple like you said but i think that is what makes it kind of fun.

Man good job in making this in 48 hours too.

Also my highscore was a measly 6.8 or something around those lines. :c
 
This is great!

Bacon don't fret you beat my highscore by a few. It would seem I am not the world's most profficient fisher.
 
Thanks, everyone! :wink:

it even has some kind of scoring system online?
what did you use to make this?
could you not implement this in a browser?
Yep! It's a simple MySQL database that stores the scores, and the game retrieves them using PHP scripts.
It could be shown on a website too, but I'm waiting until we got an official page to try that.

I really like the fact that you used GM you dont see a lot of that around here.
Indeed! It's a shame, though, GM is quite powerful! =)
