My Crush Won't Date Me Unless I Learn How To Fish!
"But... Do you know how to fish?"
Enjoy this visual novel about a person who's willing to do anything for love, including fish!
Features:
- Around 10-20 minutes of gameplay
- A silly original story
- A fishing """"minigame""""
- 2 CGs (one made for the game!)
- An image + ending replay gallery
- Fish!
A few lampshades notes:
- Please ignore the fact the first CG is in spring and the second CG is in autumn even though they're supposed to be a week apart pls the lake bg I used was autumn pls sob
- The fishing """"minigame"""" will be scuffed and you will not need to click on the QTE fish to proceed. Just understand the plugin I used to make those is Japanese and Google Translate was not doing me favors so I just left it as is. It is working as intended, just "intended" is a little funky.
- If you see any errors or anything, please let me know. Also if I used your assets and forgot to add you in the credits please let me know! I think I added everyone but I did get a lot of stuff.
This game was made for FishFest 2024. I hope you enjoy it.

Made a video
Thank you! I'm honored you decided to make a video on my game! I will check it out now
We were happy to play your game and hope you enjoy our random video
Nothing happens when I click in the browser D:
Sorry about that, it might be because your device has trouble running it? I know my laptop can't handle this game cause it's really underpowered but it works fine on my phone. If you have a Windows device you could also use the download!
fun game! but not enough fish ngl i dont think i saw even one lol
Glad you enjoyed the game! I apologize for the disappointment by the lack of fish unfortunately they're very camera-shy but rest assured they are there out of frame
(i didn't feel like drawing any actual fish for something like the """"minigame"""" lmao. but i do have my cartoon fishies in the menus and stuff!)
The same happens for me on the browser version, the menu does not allow any of the buttons to be clicked. I wouldn't say that my computer is under-powered and unable to run it, though. I run an intel i7-8700k/24gigs of ram/EVGA rtx 2060 6gb as my main system and can handle most games fine - not sure what's keeping it from being clickable!
I'm sorry for these issues, I also don't know what's going on with that. My guess is it could be something to do with the engine? It handles all of the exporting on it's own, and I also had a similar issue with playing a different test game I made with this engine. It's a pretty niche engine so it's possible? I will look into other things as well.
Do you think it could be something to do with how I compress the .zip files? I just take the export folder and compress it with like the default windows function to compress the .zip file.
If you have any other potential explanations, let me know! I want to figure this out too!
(edit: something else to note is that an indicator to know if the menu is done loading is if the music starts. if it's started, the menu is done loading and should be clickable. just wanted to note in case it's relevant)
Interesting, I wonder if it's a browser issue. To try helping with testing, I opened the game in Chrome and it loads the menu buttons and then music kicks in almost right away - on the other hand, Firefox does not get to the point where it loads the music at all (I've been sitting for around 12mins now and there's no change, while Chrome was immediate). Microsoft Edge is even worse and loads/displays only the backlog; qVvB9gY.png - I don't know that it's due to how you compress the zip files, does the engine have a support forum you could look to for more assistance troubleshooting the game maybe?
By the way, after playing, good job! The art is very cute, the music you chose is lovely, and I like the ui. :) I am a honed fisherman willing to learn any fish related hobby for my one true love!
Thank you for the insight! I use Opera on my laptop so that could be it. I'll look at the engine's website to see if I can ask anyone as well.
And I'm glad you liked the game! Thank you for playing!
Very cute story!! It was a lot of fun to play!
Thank you! And thanks for making the sprites!
