I'm going to take out my emotional issues on these fish. I'm going to unsustainably work out my troubles. Each fish I pull up is a weight off my mind.
but Ice fishing alone just doesn't seem right.
EDIT: it wasn't clear but You only control the side to side motion of the hook and it's speed. It moves up and down on it's own.

I LOVE the art in this! The gameplay is also unique yet simple! My only complaint is that it can be next to impossible to reel em' in sometimes!
Very cute art and cool mechanics (a little difficult to control the hook though, had to spam up and left, which seems unintuitive). No bugs that I could see :) HOW DOES SHE SEE SO WELL UNDER THE ICE THO?
I really enjoyed this one. As CaptainKraft and FuzzyWuzzie said before, the art is great.
This was really enjoyable. It was strangely relaxing haha. This would probably make a really fun mobile game where you tilt to move your hook. Anyways, great work :)
i didn't know i could swing left and right for a while but after that it was ez mode great job love the character
That was good, but its getting boring pretty quick. Have to have more things as you progress.
Very cute! It's really a lot of fun to play. You can subvert the speed of it falling by holding left or right and having the hook cling to the wall until you're ready to move it. Not sure if this is intentional.
Tricky at first but cool once you get the hang of it. I first wanted music as well, but then realized that it feels much more lonely without it (which in this case, works well).
At first the controls felt really weird, but once I got used to it the game gets very challenging. good job!
Very cute art! Also a very fun, simple, and charming game mechanic!
Took me a second to read your rules and realize that moving up and down was not controlled by me. The gameplay is pretty clever, but aged a bit poorly once I was a few levels in. The art is amazing as always!
33. Wow, that was both significantly more challenging and a lot more fun than I was expecting from a drop-the-hook fishing game. Very cool!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I was smiling the whole time. Your art is charming, the sounds work great, and the gameplay is clever. Two thumbs up
