I'm excited to share my submission for the One Game A Month #48 game jam! This is my first ever official video game release and it feels surreal--but also extremely satisfying. I started working on this game on June 1 (when the game jam started) and despite the simplicity of the game, it's been a long journey of ups and downs and also figuring out why something hyper specific just doesn't work. OK, maybe "long" is a bit of an exaggeration, but that's certainly what it feels like. 

I've been wanting to make games for well over a decade now and to finally have something out there make me feel super good. But I couldn't have done it alone. Huge shoutout to my friends and family for giving me support, and an especially huge thanks to my best friend LuCar356 for helping me develop the game!

Now, as for what the future holds...that is uncertain. There's always new things to learn at the end of the day, and this game is only the beginning. Hookfishin' will most likely receive updates that add new content and expand on the game loop (there is cut content due to time constraints resulting from minor personal issues in life--but don't worry I'm OK now).

If there are any technical issues with the game at this moment let me know ASAP so I can try to fix it.
