A mysterious collection of freshwater and saltwater fish has converged in this bay. Rumored sightings of a dragon in the area suggest a possible cause.

Aim with the arrow keys, cast your line with X. Keep the line tension in the middle box. Use your arrow keys to pull against resisting fish (pull in the opposite direction of their movement).

If you can get enough points, you may be able to find the dragon!

This is a fangame inspired by Breath of Fire IV's fishing minigame. It is also my submission for Palette Lock Jam in June of 2025. Happy Pride!

Dialogue Test (Prototype 3)

Here's another prototype of my upcoming game, Hobblins. This prototype is focused on the idea of a timed conversation minigame. The current version is very simple, just choose the phrase whose colored text matches the prompt at the top in order to increase your conversation partner's Interest (the green bar). Press x at the time marked on the bottom of the screen, or your conversation partner will lose Patience (the second bar, which starts blue and changes color when it drops lower).

Raising Interest to full means you win, dropping Patience to empty means you lose.

It's very simple right now, but I plan to modify this to add more difficulty/interest in selecting what to say next, as well as more strategy/options for the player.

Card Game Test

This is an early prototype for the card game mechanic in my upcoming game, Hobblins.

This mechanic is heavily inspired by the game Potionomics, and I intend to use this prototype to explore alternate mechanics as I continue to playtest.

Press X to leave the splash screen, and to restart after game over.

Your goal is to raise the "opponent"'s interest (in blue) before running out of patience (in red). The cards say how much interest they raise and how much patience they cost. If you run out of patience, you lose. If you get to 20 interest, you win. Ending your turn and drawing a new hand costs 1 patience.

Feel free to leave feedback! I'm primarily interested in the mechanics of the game, rather than the presentation, at this time.

Here is a little educational game I made for my 6th-grade students. You solve algebraic equations by shooting UFOs with fireworks! (The project started as a firework generator based on Doc Robs' particle system, and my students asked for a math game).

Enjoy!
