NEWGROUNDS FISHING COLLAB

developed: CJspellsfish

organized: Demisurgex

fish art: everyone (credits inside)

various other art: KingCrowned, Bleak-Creep, BlackDingo86, CrockettDK

GALLERY

  • Toggle the Eye switch to show/hide undiscovered fishes.
  • Tap the brown ball on the top-right to pull down the background screen.
  • The background screen is to help screenshots look better.
  • Hold the Fin buttons (left & right) to scroll through the gallery.


FEED THE FISH

  • Feed the big fish by tapping the bait buttons.
  • The fish power becomes stronger the more big fish is fed.
  • Unlock new fishing areas by feeding the big fish.


START FISHING

  • The 1st stage is unlocked by default.
  • There are no hazards on stage 1.
  • Tap on hazards (birds and bombs) to remove them.
  • Catch chum to feed the big fish.


Want to add an aquatic creature to the game? Mention it in your reply, and I'll consider you for a future update. With few exceptions, I only accept illustrations from scouted artists.


In early development, this project was almost scrapped. I took over when Demisurgex left. There are a few submissions from the original post (it got deleted) I still haven't found.

[important] If you (you!) had submitted illustrations to the original NG Fishing Collab post, but you can't find your submission anywhere in our gallery mode, PM me (CJspellsfish) and send me your fish details.

Lost submissions: Octopus, Black Tera, Goldfish, Humphead Wrasse, Dolphin, Arowana, Hogfish, Starfish, Squid, Alligator, & possibly more. Hopefully we get these in and I can add them in the next update.


Next update: Add in the lost fishes, re-arrange a few fish's home areas to account for new fishes, add rare variants.

Sometime after that: Bubble popping stage. Another call for illustrations and new stages.

awesome fish collab

Fish :]

Hey, pretty cool collab! I like the creativity on display at making you collect the artwork through a fun fishing minigame: very appropriate and much more interesting and high-effort than your typical slideshow! Also love that there is easy access to the artist's profile when viewing their art too. All in all solid stuff: I even love the crudely drawn buttons and such as they are a bit charming in a goofy way.

If I had it my way, I'd love if the fishing minigame was a bit more involved, like maybe instead of the RNG slot machine it is where you just need to hope the missing fish you want finally wanders by, it'd be nice if all of the fish just inhabit certain depths or need certain bait to lure out and you need to dunk the hook low enough while dodging obstacles or whatever. I dunno, just something a big more complex and allows you to guarantee getting fish through skill instead of luck. But thinking about it, the casual setup you have is pretty fun in its goofiness and probably fits better: I'm just overcomplicating things. And to be fair, you do get birds and bombs in later on: not quite what I'm looking for but interesting.

If I had any other feedback, I'd love if the fishes being viewed in the gallery would bob up-and-down a bit to make it seem like they're floating in water. Even more so, it'd be great if the gallery was a big aquarium with all the fish swimming around and you could click on them to zoom in and bring up their info. But again, that might just be me overcomplicating it as it might make it difficult to find certain pieces, haha!

Ok, for real feedback this time! I wish the fish that you feel bait to would just continually grow larger and larger as it gains levels, instead of growing big and then shrinking back down for each level: I think that way would feel more natural for a sense of progression.
