What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe the core charm of our game lies in its unique fusion of relaxing fishing simulation and deep card strategy. Perfecting the balance and fun of this gameplay requires a great deal of player feedback.

Rather than developing in a bubble, we want to grow with our community. Early Access allows us to listen to and incorporate your valuable suggestions at a key stage of development. Your feedback on card balance, new skill ideas, and the economic system will directly help us make the game more polished and fun. We want to build this game with you.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Based on our current development plan, we expect the game to be in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months.

However, our primary goal is to deliver a high-quality, complete game. This timeline is not set in stone, and we will make the final decision based on development progress and community feedback. We will be sure to keep the community updated on major milestones.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our goal for the full version is to build upon the Early Access foundation with richer content and a more optimized experience. As we move towards the full release, we are currently planning several key areas for improvement:

More Content: We plan to explore adding new skills, more diverse fish cards and attributes, and a variety of unexpected random events. Our hope is that these additions will significantly increase the strategic depth and replay value.

New Challenge Mode: We are considering designing a 'Hard Mode' for core players seeking a greater challenge. The intention is to introduce new objectives and tougher tests.

A Polished Experience: A major focus will be polishing the overall experience. Based on community feedback, we hope to optimize the UI, address potential bugs, and fine-tune the game's balance to deliver a highly polished and smooth final version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version has a complete core gameplay loop and is highly playable. You can experience the full 'buy fry -> build pond -> catch & sell fish -> pay rent' cycle. The main systems like deck-building, relic collection, achievement, talent tree system are also implemented.

To be transparent, as a strategy game, the current version might have some balance issues with certain card strengths or economic values. This is exactly what we aim to address through Early Access. We are committed to closely monitoring community feedback and will continue to make fixes and adjustments in future updates.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No. We do not plan to increase the price upon full release.

We want to thank every player who believes in and supports us in the early stages. Your early purchase is our greatest encouragement.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We deeply value our community and plan to interact closely with players through several channels:

Official Platforms: We have set up an official Discord server and QQ group where our development team will be active, ready to chat with players and gather feedback.

Steam Community Hub: We will continuously monitor the discussions, reviews, and suggestions in the Steam Community. This is an important place for you to share your thoughts, report issues, and make suggestions.

Transparent Development: We will regularly post dev logs to keep the community updated on our progress, update plans, and how we're incorporating player feedback.”

About This Game

Welcome to this pixel-art roguelike game that fuses casual fishing with deep card strategy! Here, every cast is full of unknowns, and a single card can turn the tide. You will play as a little kitten who can't afford cat food, embarking on a survival adventure of strategy and luck that spans a 6-day, 24-turn challenge.

Your main task is to purchase various magical "fry" from the shop, play them to build your pond, and then earn gold by catching and selling the fish. As time passes and the shop levels up, you will unlock new cards and collect mysterious relics that permanently change the gameplay. The core of the game lies in balance: you must make the difficult choice between strengthening your pond and paying the rent. If you can't pay the rent, your fishing career will come to an end.

Key Features

Unique Genre Fusion: A perfect combination of relaxing fishing simulation and brain-burning roguelike deck-building gameplay.
Your Pond is Your Build: Every fish in your pond is part of your engine. Each catch is a choice: sell it for money, or keep it as a key part of your strategy? It's up to you.
Time and Rent Pressure: The game lasts for 6 stages, totaling 24 turns. You must pay increasing rent at the end of each stage, experiencing unique survival pressure.
Deep Card Strategy: Manage your mana crystals, play cards with various functions, create powerful chain effects, and deal with the ever-changing pond.
High Replayability: Start the game by choosing different initial skills. With randomly generated quests and rewards, every playthrough is a brand new experience.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

To our dear players,

Hello everyone,

Before you dive into our game, we want to be transparent with you about our use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools during the development process.

Why do we use AI?

As a small development team, our resources and manpower are quite limited. To enrich the game's content as much as possible within these constraints, we utilized AI tools to assist with parts of our content creation. This is not a shortcut to replace human creativity, but rather a necessary choice to realize our game's vision and present a more complete work to you, our players, to the best of our ability. This approach allows us to focus our energy on core gameplay design and polishing the overall player experience.

How has AI helped us?

We have primarily used generative AI tools in the following area:

Assisted Generation of Art Assets: Some in-game assets, such as icons, textures, and concept art, were developed with the help of AI during the initial brainstorming or final refinement stages. This has significantly improved our efficiency, enabling us to create a richer and more diverse range of visual elements than we could have otherwise.

How do we ensure compliance and quality?

We understand that the use of AI-generated content may raise concerns among players regarding quality, copyright, and ethical issues. We solemnly promise the following:

Strict Manual Review: All content generated or assisted by AI has undergone a rigorous process of selection, modification, and review by our team members. We never place raw, unedited AI output directly into the game. We are the final curators and are fully responsible for all content in the game.

Compliance with Copyright and Ethical Standards: We guarantee that all final assets used in the game comply with Steam's store requirements. We respect and are committed to not infringing upon any existing copyrights. We firmly stand against any illegal, inappropriate, or discriminatory content.

Continuous Monitoring and Improvement: We are committed to continuously monitoring our game's content. Should any offensive or inappropriate material resulting from AI technology appear in the game, we will take immediate action to correct it.

We believe that technology itself is neutral; its value lies in how it is used to unlock creative potential. We sincerely thank you for your understanding and support. We also welcome you to report any issues you encounter during your gameplay experience through our community channels or customer support. Your feedback is the driving force behind our continuous improvement.

We hope you enjoy the game we've poured our hearts into creating!

Sincerely,

JianBingGaming
