I like the concept but leaving the music during the rhythm sections is distracting since it’s not synced. 

Also not sure if it was an issue with my flash cart or Chromatic but the audio was really distorted the first time I played, but it was ok after restarting. 

Cool fishing mechanic! I loved the vibes, and little things like being able to move/fish while on the phone or the rig bouncing off collisions were really neat!

Cool concept I actually came back for a second go

the mood of this one is Great: really enjoyed the music too , very well done!
