Fun little game, I liked the variety in fish and the skill curve in timing your rod throws

Great game! I really enjoyed the simple yet effective gameplay. The audio and the visuals glue very nicely together and create a nice uplifting mood.
One thing you could improve would be to just have one button to toggle between rod/paddle, possibly even the right mouse button, so the game can be controlled completely by mouse, without the need for a keyboard.

One thing that could make the game even more memorable would be to have the fisherman talk via small speechbubbles and complain about the birds or be happy about the catch.

Overall, great job, I enjoyed playing it a lot!

I can beat your score! >:D
This was great arcade action! Took a while to figure out most of the things but after that it was nice. Well done!

Lovely little game, those birds are so annoying!
Tight gameplay loop with a couple of mechanics.
It wasn't immediately obvious that I could move, but there were some nice touches when I figured out I could in that the boat wobbles and such.
Trying to time the fishing rod was satisfyingly difficult.
Graphics are cute and music is a little repetitive after a full round but otherwise fine.

Playing on a laptops touchpad is hard-mode! (I knew I should've gotten the mouse out for these last minute plays.) At some point I just stopped catching and defended my precious cargo for the last 30 seconds.

I liked the music (though I begin to suspect I might be a little bit biased towards that particular style).

Otherwise all the other commenters have made the points I wanted to say better already (including the one about the right mouse button being the toggle between tools).
