Don't Get Catfished!
The Game
Become the dreamy fish finder you were always meant to be. "Catch" as many fish as you can before your phone battery dies, but be careful, not every fish is who they say they are. Use your trusty Dreamy Fish Dating Guidebook to discover who is being truthful.
Making the Game
This project was originally intended to be a submission for Mini Jam 105, but I was traveling at the same time the jam was being held, so I missed the deadline. I still liked the game enough to submit it though.
(Edit: And in the end they allowed me to make a late submission <3)
The theme was "Dreamy" and the limitation was "Every Playthrough is Unique".
Initially I had a list of about 50 fish that I wanted to add to the game, and eventually shortened that down to 5 in an attempt to meet the deadline, lol.

My max. is 16 🫠
btw i love this game so cute and funny
Thank you for playing! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!
Np ❤️
This is so cute!
The idea is so clever with the puns and "dating guidebook." I could see this game format potentially having other fun fish trivia mixed in. Great work!
Catfished once with 8 catches is the best I could pull off. Fun little game! :D
Simple but fun, the pixel art is really cute :3 my max is 8...i'm not very good lol
Thank you! I'm glad that you think so :) I had a lot of fun making the pixel art for the fish (gotta have cute profile pics if you want to find your bowl mate, lol)
Fun game and super cute graphics :))
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. It was a ton of fun to make the fish sprites. I will probably end up doing more in the future. (I think fish are neat, lol)
This is a great little papers-please-like(?) I really like how the time element is from your phone battery. I got only 5 fish, but it was fun to cross reference everything.
Thanks for playing! I think that "papers-please-like" is probably the most appropriate tag for this game, lol. I'm glad that you liked it! :)
